Good Reasons To Make Your Own Hair Conditioner


There was a time when I used hair conditioner without giving a thought to what was in it - or the container it was in. Then when I read about the dire effect that plastic was having on the world's seas and wildlife I immediately decided never to buy hair products in plastic bottles again. 

Reading what is actually in most conditioners also concentrated my mind. I no longer wanted to put chemicals like propylene glycol, momoethanolamine, formaldehyde or methylisothiazoline on my head. 

I could live without conditioner but I did miss its softening effects. Then I read about the extremely simple homemade version. You can add softness and shine by dissolving a spoonful of honey into three or four cups of warm water. Once the honey is thoroughly mixed, pour the mixture over wet, freshly washed hair. Don't rinse it out but gently wring out the excessive moisture. It really works! 

The eco-friendly life. You don’t have to be perfect but if everyone did what they could, what a different world it would be.
