Natural homemade conditioners

[Chameleonchick]

Are there any good homemade Protein conditioner concoctions? Or should I just stick to my joico or aphogee?

I like doing a yogurt and oil blend twice a month ala naptural85. It is a bit messy but works better than other light proteins that I've tried and helps detangle. It is also cheap since I have the oils (desperately need to use them) and the 5 bucks of yogurt will give me three uses.

I have a few books on my iPad that have some conditioner recipes I am bumping to the top so I can cut and paste

Apply to clean, towel-dried hair. Massage gently into the scalp and leave on for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Apple Hair Shine Restoring Mask
To revive dry, dull hair, all you need is one big apple. This mask also solves dry scalp problems, such as itchiness and flakes. You can also use two or three medium sized apples, depending on your hair length. Choose only fresh apples without any dents or flaws.
INGREDIENTS
1–2 large or 3–4 medium apples
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon corn flour
METHOD
Peel, core, and grate the apples. Combine the pulp with the remaining ingredients and stir well.
APPLICATION
Spread the mixture over dry unwashed hair and leave on for twenty to thirty minutes. You can cover your hair with a shower cap or PVC-free food film and then wrap it with a towel. Rinse the mask off with tepid water and follow with a mild shampoo, if desired.
STORAGE
This mask cannot be stored and must be used on the day of preparation.
Avocado and Cucumber Soothing Scalp Treatment
This hair treatment is a great help if you have a dry, itchy scalp. Cucumber soothes and moisturizes while feeding your hair shafts with strengthening silica.
INGREDIENTS
½ large cucumber
1 avocado
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup water
METHOD
Chop the cucumber with its skin on. Peel the avocado. Puree the cucumber and the avocado in a food processor. Otherwise, grate the cucumber and mash with a mild shampoo, if desired.


Egg and Brandy Hair Revitalizer
For this recipe, I recommend using inexpensive French brandy or cognac, which works to stimulate hair roots and improve circulation in the scalp, thus making your hair look fuller and stronger. Eggs nourish the hair with proteins and fats so that hair looks shiny and smooth. Essential oils help mask the strong smell of the spirit, which many people find a little unpleasant. But it’s of course up to you!
INGREDIENTS
2–3 egg yolks, depending on your hair length
3–5 tablespoons brandy or cognac
1 tablespoon caster sugar
10 drops geranium essential oil (optional)
5 drops lemon essential oil (optional)
METHOD
Whisk egg yolks with cognac, adding just enough caster sugar to make a thicker paste. Add essential oils, if using, and stir well.
APPLICATION
Apply the mask to dry, unwashed hair. Cover your head with a shower cap and wrap it with a towel. Leave the mask on for twenty minutes or more. Rinse off and follow with a mild shampoo.



Banana, Mayo & Olive Oil Damaged Hair Cream
Ingredients:
1 Banana
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
Directions:
Combine ingredients in a small blender or food processor and mix well until smooth. Apply mixture to dry hair from roots to tips and cover hair with a plastic cap. Leave the mixture on your hair for 30 minutes and then rinse well with warm water and shampoo and condition as usual. Unused mixture must be refrigerated and used within on

Before I started using store-bought protein conditioners, I used to use mayonnaise. You could use mayonnaise & add avocado and/or wheat germ oils to it.
