Homemade Hair Conditioner

Itchy scalp, dandruff, greasy hair, frizzy hair, hair loss, hair fall, thinning of hair, grey hair- so many problems with your hair!
Are you suffering from any one of these? Obviously, your answer is in positive, as everybody is fed up with one or the other problem with one's hair. So, what to do, how to care for your hair?
But the most unfortunate thing is that the hair shampoos that we get in the market are either not so effective or too expensive for you to afford them. So, what you need is the hair conditioners that can be made at home and are more effective and cheaper also.
So, are you ready?
1. Rosemary Hair Conditioner
  
Rosemary is said to be the best source for hair growth. Also, this is an effective remedy for an itchy scalp and dandruff and making your hair much softer, manageable and smelling good.

Ingredients:
Rosemary essential oil
Sweet almond or olive oil (slightly warmed)
Method:
Mix 2-5 drops of rosemary essential oil with 1 teaspoon of sweet almond or olive oil, blend them well. Now apply the mixed oil on your dampened hair and massage the scalp gently. Wrap your head in a hot towel and wait for about 45 minutes so that it deeply conditions your hair. Rinse off with cold water.
Caution: Keep away from getting into your eyes.

Strict Warning: If you are pregnant, then avoid this hair conditioner as this may cause high blood pressure or epilepsy attack.

Wait for 20 minutes. For a better and deeper conditioning, wrap your head with a hot, damp towel -over the saran wrap. And if you are lucky enough to have long hair and want to deep condition at the ends only, then cut all the ingredients into half and apply to the ends and wrap them properly.
