How to Make Kendria's Moisturizing Leave In Conditioner For Afro Hair

The last thing natural, afro hair needs is harmful chemicals and additives in a moisturizing, leave in conditioner. Spray your hair once daily with this Leave-In conditioner. I do not guarantee WILD hair growth, but I can guarantee you that your hair will be moisturized. I live in a highly humid area and it works for me!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 spray bottle
• 1 bottle leave-in conditioner ( I will explain this later)
• 1 bottled water (I used Dasani)
• Jojoba oil (PURE)
• Castor oil (PURE)
• Coconut oil (PURE)
• Rosemary essential oil (PURE)

1. Clean your water bottle.

2. Add 5 caps of your favorite leave in conditioner.
   I like Kinky Curly Knot Today leave in conditioner.
   I have seen others use IC Fantasia and Infusium 23.. however the point of this article is to teach you how to make a product that is very moisturizing, without any or minimal chemicals..

3. Add as much water as you like, and mix together until the consistency is just right for you.
   I like to make the consistency semi-thick. Bottled water, like Dasani or Aquafina, or even FIJI seems not so harsh on my type 4b hair.

4. Mix in the following:
   - 3 tablespoons pure coconut oil (if it is solid, melt it before adding.)
   - 1 cap pure olive oil
   - 1 cap pure jojoba oil
   - 1/2 cap pure castor oil
   - 5 drops rosemary oil

5. Shake, spray and style! :)

Tips & Warnings

• I used coconut oil and castor oil for moisturizing properties.
• I used jojoba oil because it is similar to sebum, which is found in hair.
• I used rosemary oil because it stimulates the scalp, and because prolonged use helps slow down the progression of gray hairs. Not that I'm ashamed of gray hairs.. I am actually very proud of them. But I know a lot of other people are concerned with those things, so... :)
• It is very important that you thoroughly review any essential oils and carrier oils before you put them on your hair. Like, too much peppermint oil burned my scalp a little. That's just an example.
