Anyone got a 'Recipe' for Hair Conditioner?

Options
I'd really like to make my own hair conditioner but it would seem all the recipes I can find are for conditioners that need leaving on for half an hour or overnight etc.

I'd really like one that can just be left on for a couple of mins (like the shop bought stuff can) and then rinsed off - I'm always in a rush in a morning so don't have time to leave it on any longer than that.

So, anyone got any good ideas/recipes for it?

Thanks very much

  • Use an egg or some beer. If you use an egg though don't use very hot water or it will scramble:rotfl:

    Mayonaise it supposed to be good. I use olive oil on the ends of my hair when they are looking/feeling a bit dry (only use a tiny amount though or you will end up with a head full of grease).

    Aren't eggs or beer just as expensive if not more so than conditioner?
  • you can mash up avacado, but then again that is really expensive

  • I don't think eggs are expensive and value beer in tesco is dead cheap, especially as you would not need a whole can each time.

    A friend of mine did a degree in Biochemistry and one of her lecturers told her that the ingredients in fabric conditioner are exactly the same as those in hair conditioner.
