Hair conditioners can help protect your hair by replacing natural oils that are lost while shampooing. The air these days is full of pollutants and it is recommended that we wash our hair daily. When we wash our hair, we wash away its natural oils. This can lead to our hair being dry and life-less.
Conditioners are used to replenish the oils and keep the hair shiny, supple and moisturized.
A study recently conducted stated that Americans spend more than one billion dollars annually on conditioners. It is a very big expense, and one may or may not get the desired result. Given below are recipes for some home made conditioners that are easy to make, natural and safe to use, even on a daily basis. They do not make a big dent on the pocket too.
