Natural Ingredients Hair Conditioner
By Ms. NB


One of my lovely daughters (age 12) has recently discovered a passion for trying out homemade conditioners, shampoos and even face mask!  This past weekend, she made her own conditioner, with a natural ingredient recipe that she found online.  She used if after shampooing her hair and loved it.  I asked if she wanted to share it on my blog and she said yes. 

Here is the recipe she tried:
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1/8 cup baby oil
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil

"Mix these ingredients until smooth. It may be watery, but that is ok. After you shampoo your hair, rinse it out well. Then part your hair into 3 to 4 sections.  Work the condition mixture into each section by rubbing it in all the way."   Leave the conditioner in and style while wet or when dry.  I have not tried this recipe myself, but her hair was very soft after using the conditioner that she made using the ingredients above.  Here is what she had to say after using the conditioner. "Your hair will feel soft and will make people behind you want to touch your hair. It is especially good for ladies with curly or wavy hair.” –  Ms. NB

What is your hair story? I was natural pretty much my whole life. However, when my parents got a divorce I had to live with my dad and my hair became the responsibility of my aunt. She was a hair stylist and that was one of the first things she did was perm me and my other two sisters hair. I was too young to know what a relaxer was or to tell her that I did not want one. What is funny is that I started transitioning after my parents started dating again and where later remarried.
When and why did you decide to start wearing you hair naturally? After I was old enough to realize what a relaxer was, I decided to go natural. I, at the time, had no information on hair and did the best I could.
