How To Make Your Own All-Natural Hair Conditioner

Make a banana smoothie for your hair: Combine half a ripe banana, two tablespoons plain yogurt, and one tablespoon of olive oil. Work into damp hair, let sit for ten minutes, then rinse. You’ll have less frizz and softer locks.

Have an apple fizz: Blend one peeled red apple, one-third cup seltzer water, and two tablespoons baking soda or cornstarch until smooth. Apply to damp hair for 15 minutes and rinse. The apples loosen impurities, while the seltzer fizz lifts them up.

Make hair minty fresh by steeping fresh mint leaves in two cups boiling water. Remove the leaves when the mixture cools, pour over hair, leave on for a few minutes, and rinse. Mint stimulates circulation, increasing blood flow to the scalp.

Make an avocado-mayo mash: Combine one avocado with a half-cup of mayo and apply to hair. Leave on for 30 minutes before rinsing. Avocado is loaded with hair-strengthening vitamins, and the fats and oils in mayonnaise moisturize the hair.

Pour a can or a bottle of flat, warm beer over your hair and leave on for three minutes. The malt and hops contain proteins that repair damage and smooth split ends, and the natural sugars keep hair shiny.

Combine the juice of two citrus fruits—like grapefruit, orange, or kiwi—with just enough cornstarch or baking soda to thicken into a paste. Work through the hair, leave on for five minutes, then rinse. The fruit acids seal the cuticle, eliminating frizz.
