To create your own organic conditioner at home there is no need to use a base of castile soap. Along with mixing different ingredients for your personal preferences in making an organic shampoo at home, when making an organic at home conditioner there is room to play with different essential and fragrance oil combinations. For most organic conditioners, the popular choice is to use a base of plain organic yogurt.
If you do decide to use a yogurt base, keep in mind that the following information is for one to two applications of conditioning only. Yogurt based conditioners can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days but they are not typically a homemade product that you can let sit for long periods of time. Here are some organic homemade yogurt based conditioner recipes.
- Strengthening: Combine 1/4oz organic plain yogurt, 1 egg yolk and the zest of two lemons.
- Create Texture: Combine 1/4oz organic plain yogurt, 1 egg yolk and one smashed Avocado.
- Dandruff Control: Combine 1/4oz organic plain yogurt, 1/4 cup Coconut oil and 3 tablespoons Lime juice.
- Extra Moisturizing: Combine 4oz organic plain yogurt, 1 smashed banana and 1/2 cup honey. Leave mixture on for up to 40 minuets for a weekly organic conditioning treatment.
