Harsh weather conditions can damage your hair and make it dry and brittle. Your hair can also get damaged due to over-processing, using too many products, or it can be due to just plain genetics. To keep your hair healthy and moisturized, you don’t have to go to a salon or spa and don’t need a store-bought product. You can fix your hair for a fraction of the cost of using salon or drug store products. And you probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen.
How Do You Make Deep Hair Conditioner At Home?
Try using the following DIY natural deep conditioners. Here are some of the best natural hair conditioner recipes to get healthy hair on a low time and tight money budget. The best thing about all these at-home recipes is that they all have one thing in common: they can all be made with basic ingredients from your kitchen.
Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment Using All Natural Deep Conditioner
# 1
Deep Conditioning Hair Mask For Damaged Hair
The main ingredients in this deep conditioner are extra virgin olive oil, mayonnaise, honey, and avocado. Each one of these ingredients is good for your hair in its own way. The olive helps repair dry, brittle hair while softening your tresses at the same time. Whereas the high-fat content in mayonnaise will soften and moisturize your hair while adding shine, the honey will work as a humectant, so it locks in moisture. Avocado acts as a natural hair moisturizer and is also chockfull of vitamins and minerals, which will help nourish your hair and stimulate hair growth.
You will need:
(i) Extra virgin olive oil: 1 tablespoon
(ii) Mayonnaise: ¼ cup
(iii) Organic honey: ¼ cup
(iv) Ripe avocado: ½
Method:
(i) Pour one tablespoon of the extra virgin olive oil into a bowl. Place it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm it up.
(ii) Mix in ¼ cup of mayonnaise and ¼ cup of honey with the warm oil. Stir well all the ingredients with a wooden spoon.
(iii) Place ½ of the ripe avocado into a separate glass bowl. Mash it with a fork until it’s lumps-free and of paste-like consistency. Mix the mashed avocado with the mayonnaise, honey, and oil mixture. Stir the mix well to have a uniform paste.
(iv) Massage the mask into freshly washed, dry hair. Start from the roots and work the mixture down toward the ends of your tresses.
(v) Stack your hair on top of your head, and cover it with a shower cap to keep the hair in place. Allow the mixture to sit in your hair for about 20 minutes, then rinse it with lukewarm water. Shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
Bonus Tip: You can apply extra virgin olive oil alone to provide your hair with a hot oil treatment each week to facilitate deep conditioning for extremely dry, damaged hair. Put a little warm extra virgin olive oil in your hand and, beginning with the hair ends, massage through your dry hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and take a long, warm shower. Use your favorite gentle shampoo to remove the olive oil from your hair, and follow with a moisturizing conditioner of your choice.

Bonus Tip: While using any messy hair mask, bend over the sink or tub so the mixture does not drip onto the floor. Pour the conditioner gradually onto your hair and use your hands to collect the dripping conditioner into your hands. Massage this remainder in your hand into the parts of your hair where the conditioner could not reach. Once you are done pouring, do a full-on massage of your hair to spread the conditioner.
