How to Make an At-Home Deep Conditioner for Your Hair

Head to the kitchen for some deep-conditioning ingredients.

Skip the expensive treatments when your hair needs deep conditioning. Make your own intensive conditioner using ingredients from your kitchen. Loaded with vitamins B6 and E, an avocado and mayonnaise treatment will bring back the healthy shine to dull, dry or brittle locks. What's more, it will cost less than a commercial product, won't contain any chemical ingredients and you'll spend just 30 minutes on the treatment.

Things You'll Need

• 1/2 avocado, peeled
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• Fork
• Mixing bowl
• Shower cap or clear plastic wrap
• Towel

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mash together the mayonnaise and avocado using a fork or your fingers until it's smooth and light green in color.

2. Wash your hair as normal.

3. Smooth the avocado mixture into your hair from the roots to the tips.

4. Place a shower cap over your hair, or wrap your hair in plastic wrap. This will allow some heat to generate within -- keep the mixture from dripping onto your clothes.

5. Wrap a damp warm towel over the shower cap or plastic wrap for a deep conditioning experience. Leave on for 20 minutes.

6. Rinse your hair thoroughly, then dry and style as normal.
