What is the texture of your hair? Is it dry, coarse, frizzy, or unruly? If yes, then you must have faced the problem of tangles and knots. Not only is it frustrating but can also be quite painful and damaging. And undoubtedly, all these things lead to hair fall. Keeping all these things in mind, I thought of sharing a blog post on leave-in hair conditioner. Once you start using these DIYs, your tangles will be much easier to comb out and your hair will look healthy, soft and shiny.
These hair conditioner recipes are homemade and I have used all the natural ingredients which are good for your hair. If you want, you can use them on your kids’ hair, too as they are safe and chemical free.

ALOE VERA Leave-In Hair Conditioner
INGREDIENTS
- 6 tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel
- 4 tablespoons Rosewater
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- 2 Vitamin E capsules
- 8 drops of Jasmine Essential Oil
METHOD
Mix all the above-mentioned ingredients in a bowl and blend well until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Once your shampooing and conditioning is done, apply this Aloe Vera leave-in conditioner to damp or towel-dried hair, then style as usual. Make sure to apply the leave-in conditioner on your mid-lengths and ends, avoid roots, as that could leave your hair looking greasy. Apart from adding extra shine, this will detangle your strands, which can help make styling easier.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
