Simple Deep Conditioner

Take one small jar of real mayonnaise and add one half of an avocado. Mix together in a bowl, with either a whisk or your fingers, until the entire mixture is a solid green color.

Wash your hair normally, and then smooth the mixture into hair from roots to tips. For added benefits, put on a shower cap or wrap your head with plastic wrap. Leave on twenty minutes and then rinse away with clear water.

This conditioner adds moisture and body to your hair.

If you don’t have an avocado, the mayonnaise alone will work wonders.

Wonderful Rosemary Deep Conditioner

Rosemary Essential Oil – this can be found in any health food store and many grocery stores.

Carrier Oil – Extra virgin or light olive oil works well.

Warm over low to medium low heat until oil feels just warm to the touch or about 90 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add twenty to thirty drops of Rosemary essential oil. Shake or mix well to blend the two oils.

Work the warmed oil through your hair with your fingertips, making sure to coat ends and massage scalp. Wrap your head in a towel and leave on for forty-five minutes. Rinse hair with clean cool water.

Never attempt to make this mixture in a microwave oven, as it could quickly over heat and cause severe burning.
