Natural Homemade Hair Conditioner

It is necessary, and in fact a responsibility, to wash your hair with a healthy hair conditioner after a shampoo bath, but better if you take a little effort to make your own shampoo at home. We also recommend using your own homemade dry shampoo, because Yes, it HAS to be ‘healthy’, we literally mean. Now it’s up to you, which conditioner available in the store would you choose to be healthy and deem fit for your much-loved hair. We strongly advise, stay away from all those crude, strong, chemically-enhanced conditioners, that would ultimately damage and destroy your hair in no time.
