Homemade herbal hair conditioners are increasing in popularity as more people become aware of the serious damage they do to their hair when they wash it with processed products. While you can purchase organic, natural hair products at many high-end spas and other salons, they are frequently as much as ten times more expensive than other hair treatments that are not entirely natural. Instead of paying an arm and a leg for a single hair treatment, make your own herbal hair products at home for a fraction of the cost and treat yourself to beautiful, salon-quality hair and style every day.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Rosemary essential oil
  • Small pan
  • Spoon
  • Small plastic bottle
  1. Step 1

    Warm the olive oil in the small pan. Do not let it pop, hiss or boil.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the pan from the heat. Make sure that the olive oil is cool enough to touch, but still is retaining some heat.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the olive oil into the small plastic bottle. Hold the pan a few inches above the opening in the bottle to make sure that the oil flows in a smooth, thin stream.

  4. Step 4

    Add 5 drops of rosemary essential oil to the olive oil. If you really like the way the rosemary smells, you can add as many as 10 drops.

  5. Step 5

    Shake the bottle to mix the oils together. You can use this conditioner daily. You only need about a teaspoon unless your hair is very long or very thick.

Tips & Warnings
  • Many people like to reheat this conditioner before using it. Put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to warm the conditioner, then put it on your hair as soon as possible.
  • This conditioner works best when you allow it to sit on your hair for at least 5 minutes before rinsing it out.
