DIY Coconut Hair Conditioner Treatment Cream Recipe
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup apricot kernel oil
- 1 tbsp jojoba oil
- 1 tbsp shea butter
- 3 tbsp glycerine (palm free)
- 12 drops of essential oils of your choice
In our recipe, we used an uplifting blend of lemon, grapefruit and bergamot, which is ideal for light hair.
For darker hair, lavender and rosemary essential oils are a nice option.
Method
- Place a saucepan with about 6cm of water in it on the stove. In a separate glass jug or mason jar, add the coconut oil and shea butter. Place the jug or mason jar into the saucepan and turn heat to low-medium.
- Once the coconut oil and shea butter are just melted remove from heat and let it cool. Add the apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil and glycerine. Stir to combine.
- Mix in your essentials oils. Cover loosely and leave overnight at room temperature to set.
- Once set it’s time to whip it. Whip until the consistency is lovely and smooth. It should look like smooth creamy custard.
- Pour or scoop into your desired container and seal.
How To Use
After washing your hair, before applying the cream, wring out as much excess water from your hair as possible. This will help the conditioner absorb more deeply into the hair. Apply a small amount of cream using your fingers and massage into your hair. Comb through. Leave in for 5 minutes then rinse out well with very warm water. Repeat the rinse if needed. For best results towel dry your hair and then leave your hair to dry naturally.
