1/2 cup Conditioner** (I use Tresemme Naturals)

2 Tablespoons Honey

1/2 Avocado*** - mashed and sieved 

2 tablespoons of Avocado Oil (you can substitue with Coconut or Olive Oil)

2. Coconut-Shea

source

1/2 Cup Conditioner** (I use Tresemme Naturals)

2 Tablespoons whipped Shea Butter (I use Shea butter mixes like Harvest of Sunshine or Awali Naturals but you can also use melted pure shea)

2 Tablespoons Honey

2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil (you can substitute with Avocado or Olive Oil)

3. Olive-Banana

source

1/2 cup Conditioner** (I use Tresemme Naturals)

1 Very Ripe Banana*** (mashed or blended and sieved)

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (can be substituted with Avocado or Coconut Oil)

1 Tablespoon Honey

How To:

1. Mix

2. Apply to head and cover with shower cap or cling film

3. Leave 30 minutes

4. Rinse thoroughly with cool water

* as the recipes contain fresh ingredients, they should be used immediately after mixing to prevent them going off

** conditioners are optional in these recipes but as they contain conditioning agents such as BTMS, centimonium chlorides and Polyquats, their conditioning proporties are enhanced by the other ingredients

*** avocados and bananas can leave bits in hair so make sure they are thoroughly mashed and sieved prior to using
