Basic Hair Conditioner
INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon Almond or Avocado Oil
1 teaspoon Vegetable Glycerin
1 tablespoon Emulsifying Wax
1/2 cup Distilled Water
5 drops Grapefruit Seed Extract
1/2 teaspoon or 1 capsule Vitamin E
METHOD
Stir
together the oil, emulsifying wax and glycerin in the top part of a double
boiler, warming slowly over a low heat until the wax is
melted.
Remove from heat and pour in the Vitamin E.
In
a separate pot on the stove or in the microwave, gently warm the water or herbal infusion just until
lukewarm.
Do NOT skip this step or your conditioner will separate later on.
Slowly
pour the water/herbal infusion into
the oil mixture, stirring
constantly with a wire whisk until the mixture is creamy & smooth.
Let the
mixture cool a little so the essential oils don't evaporate too quickly when
you add them.
Don't
worry if it doesn't thicken immediately,
it thickens as it cools down to room
temperature.
Stir
in the essential oils
and the grapefruit seed extract.
Pour the natural hair conditioner
into a
clean, sterilized 8oz (250ml) glass bottle. Allow it to cool.
Shake
the bottle occasionally as the conditioner cools to prevent the ingredients
from separating.
Store in a cool,
dark place.
