DIY Leave in Conditioner

Instead of buying a leave in conditioner I decided to make one its really simple all you need is ...

Spray bottle I got mine from Sally's

Any conditioner a cheap one will do just fine

Eucalyptus oil

Carrot and aloe oil

Shea Butter Oil

I use eucalyptus because it's suppose to help with hair growth and it's suppose to get rid of dandruff. I have problems with dandruff and I'm scared to use head and shoulders because sulfate isn't good for people with natural hair so I use oils to help with my dandruff. I got the carrot oil and aloe oil because I couldn't find JUST aloe vera oil. Aloe vera prevents your hair from getting frizzy. Carrot oil strengthens your hair and keeps it silky. Shea butter is SO good for your hair because it locks in the moisture and if your hair is anything like my dry hair, you need all the shea butter you can get.

I mix these oils with the conditioner and shake the bottle really well and then I spray away. I hope this DIY leave in conditioner helps with your hair enjoy your day beauties :)

Diy hair mask

   My hair has been SO DRY for about three weeks I got the Organix coconut milk shampoo and condtioner for Christmas and couldn't wait to use it. Before I started using that I was using Organix Moroccan Argan Oil that I do recommend for someone who is natural and has type 4C hair. Yes my hair is SUPER thick. But anyways I'm thinking it's the Organix coconut milk that's drying my hair out which sucks because it smells so GOOD! But my mom is using it now so it's not going to waste. I really want to try the argan oil and shea butter Organix

   Since my hair has been so dry and I've been spraying it like there is no tomorrow I decided to do hair mask I haven't done since I first went natural in August. I used half a cup of fat free plain yogurt that's suppose to help your hair grown and make it softer, what woman wouldn't like that combination! I also used an egg which is good for someone that has dandruff like myself. With the fatty acids and the vitamin A that helps produce natural oils on your scalp. An egg can also leave your hair looking shiny and can strengthen your hair. I added a few drops of eucalyptus oil that helps with dandruff and hair growth.

   I applied the mixture to my hair and left it on for about one and a half hours. When you rinse it out make sure the yogurt clumps are all out. I co-washed with the Organix moroccan argan oil conditioner. I applied natural shea butter to my hair which locks in the moisture and helps with hair growth (can also be used as a styling cream). I use shea butter to detangle my hair which helps soooo much it makes a hard process a little easier.

I can't get any pictures to upload so look on my Instagram : MyAddictions22 to see the finished process

Enjoy your day beauties :)
