DIY Hair Growth Deep Conditioner

In the first newsletter, I stressed the importance of taking care of different parts of the body. For the last edition of Mind, Body, Live, that meant taking care of our skin. Now I would like to talk about taking care of our hair. Like skin, everyone’s hair is different. Although hair is the fastest growing tissue on the body (aside from bone marrow), it can be difficult to figure out how to treat it in order to stimulate maximum growth. And as you know, hair can fall out just as fast as it grows. So, I’ve found a Do-It-Yourself recipe that not only stimulates hair growth, but is also vegan!

I found this recipe while on Youtube searching for methods that would help grow and strengthen my hair. So, this recipe is a rendition of the one I found by a Youtuber named Naptural85 [and it works for generally all hair types.]

Ingredients

2 cups Aloe Vera Juice – This works as a moisturizing, strengthening, and conditioning base. It also restores the pH balance in your hair. It promotes shine, and for all the people with dry scalp, it relieves that too.

1 Whole Banana – This helps soften and moisturize the hair

1 Whole Avocado – It helps to moisturize, strengthen and repair damaged hair

¼ cup Methi/ Fenugreek Powder – This is an indian spice that is said to be extremely effective in strengthening and repairing dry and damaged hair. It also adds slip to the deep conditioner which helpful when detangling

Instructions

  1. Once you have all of these ingredients together, you are going to put it into the blender and blend to a creamy consistency.
  2. Next, you are going to take a strainer, hold it over a bowl, and pour the mixture inside the strainer. You are going to do this in order to extract the liquid and exclude the pulp. Because this mixture is thick, you may have to tap the strainer a bit in order to make it move. However, be patient and make sure not to tap it too hard.
  3. Now time for the fun part: application! Section off your hair in as many sections as you would like. I usually section it in 4 or 6 sections. Apply a generous amount to each section.
  4. After you are done, apply a plastic cap to your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes-1 hour.
  5. Then, once the time has passed, you can rinse it out and follow this up with your favorite conditioner.

That is all for this simple DIY Vegan Hair Growth Deep Conditioner. I hope you all enjoyed. Make sure to try this out and contact me to let me know how you like it!
