How to Make Natural Leave in Conditioner

Mixing up your own natural leave in conditioner can be tricky. You want the conditioner to make your hair soft and manageable but you don't want it to make your hair greasy or flat looking. Natural leave in conditioner purchased in the store may or may not be all that natural though so making your own is probably your best bet. Fortunately, you can make an organic and natural leave in conditioner using only one item that can be found in most grocery stores.

Things You'll Need

• Coconut oil

Instructions

1. Scoop up a small amount of coconut oil on your hands. Coconut oil is very good for your hair and makes a great natural leave in conditioner but if you use too much of it, your hair will look greasy. Start with a dime size amount on one of your palms.

2. Rub your palms together to spread the natural leave in conditioner on your hands. The excess oil will soften the skin of your hands while you condition your hair.

3. Rub the ends of your hair first as they need the natural leave in conditioner more than the rest of your hair to prevent split ends.

4. Run your hands through your hair to spread the natural leave in conditioner through your hair and then comb your hair to distribute the oil evenly.

5. Rub your hands together until the remaining natural leave in conditioner has been absorbed leaving you with soft hair and hands.

Tips & Warnings

• Coconut oil is solid below 75 degrees F and liquid at higher temperatures so it will quickly melt on your hands during the application of the natural leave in conditioner.
