Hello my lovely readers, I am back to share an AMAZING recipe that I recently tried on my hair and LOVED! So as you can probably tell from my previous posts, I suffer from a dry scalp and ends (*sad face*) lol! So I ran across a recipe by Texture Playground that I thought I'd try and alter a bit!
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado (medium sized)
1 4 oz jar of banana baby food
1/3 cup of coconut milk (whole fat)
3 tbs EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1/3 cup of honey
2 tbs Aloe Vera Gel
Directions:
1. In a small food processor, pulse the avocado until smooth.
2. Add in the jar of baby food and blend until homogeneous and a pale green color.
3. Add in coconut milk, EVOO, honey and aloe vera gel one at a time, mix well after each addition.
4. After washing your hair, apply the conditioner in sections, thoroughly coating hair, especially the ends.
5. Stuff hair underneath a plastic cap, wrap head in a warm towel and RELAX!
6. After about an hour, rinse hair thoroughly and immediately apply a cheapie conditioner (I use VO5) to completely rid hair of avocado and banana.
7. ENJOY YOUR LUSCIOUS HAIR! :)

Banana Deep Conditioner Recipe
I'm an experimenter. I always try different things and mix up whatever ingredients I have to make what I need, so what did i do?! COME UP WITH A DC RECIPE :)
Ingredients:
1. 4 oz jar of banana baby food (I use organic baby food)
2. 1 tsp of jojoba oil
3. 1 tsp of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
4. 2 tsp of safflower oil
5. 1 tsp coconut oil
6. 2 tbsp honey (I also use organic honey)
Directions: (I use baby food simply because it's so pureed that no pieces of banana can be left in my hair, though you can use a whole, ripened banana. Also, any mixture of oils can be used but in the same ratios, these just work best on my hair.)
1. In a small bowl, add all ingredients and emulsify, or mix until the banana, honey and oils no longer separate.
2. On freshly washed, soaking wet hair, apply conditioner in sections. Make sure to completely saturate your hair (I comb the conditioner through but this is not necessary).
3. Place a plastic cap over your hair then wrap with a towel and RELAX! (You can sit under a dryer but I am no longer using heat on my hair so this is what I do).
4. I usually let this conditioner sit on my hair for 2 hours.
5. Rinse out conditioner with cold water and co-wash if you can't stand the smell. (I personally hate bananas and their smell lol)
6. Style as usual.
I do this conditioner every week and my hair feels fab! Hope you all love this recipe! Leave comment or suggestions :)

Homemade Shea Butter Deep Conditioner
After a long and tiring search for a deep conditioner that actually worked and provided my hair with moisture (other than WEN Remoist), I decided to make my own!
Ingredients:
2 tbls raw, unrefined shea butter (google it, surprisingly cheap)
3 tsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Tea Tree Oil
1/2 cup conditioner (I use Cantu Rinse Out Conditioner but you can use your favorite brand!)
1. Pour the conditioner in a bowl and mix in olive oil and tea tree oil.
2. In a separate bowl, melt shea butter completely in microwave (my house is always cold so the shea butter is always hard)
3. Add shea butter to conditioner and mix well, let it cool down.
4. After washing or co-washing your hair, apply mixture soaking wet to hair in sections (I part my hair into quarters and apply) DO NOT COMB!
5. Sit under a hard bonnet dryer for 45 mins to an hour!
6. Allow hair to cool off.
7. Comb with a wide tooth comb.
8. Rinse out, leaving about 5% of the conditioner in.
9. Style as usual
10. Enjoy your moisturized hair!
