Most conventional hair products will be full of harsh chemicals and toxic ingredients that are best to stay away from. Making your own leave-in conditioner will take you less than 5 minutes and will cost you next to nothing. Plus, it can be made with natural ingredients!
I am going to share 3 different leave-in conditioner recipes that can help with strengthing the hair, moisturizing the scalp, and promoting healthy hair growth. Depending on your hair type, will determine which leave-in conditioner you will want to try.
A lot of the ingredients that you will find in these recipes can also be used in making your own shampoo, conditioner, and hairspray. One product at a time and you can revamp your entire daily routine!
Leave-in conditioner is a product that is applied to the hair after you showered and is meant to stay in. It can be especially beneficial for curly hair and dry hair.
Leave-in conditioners will moisturize the hair leaving it softer, smoother, and shinier. It can also be used as a hair detangler or a hair styling product.
Coconut milk for hair? Say what?! Yup, you read it right. I have used coconut milk in shampoo before, and it works perfectly with a leave-in conditioner.

Coconut milk has so many great benefits for your hair and can even help to promote hair growth when massaged into the scalp.
The best coconut milk to use for your hair is canned coconut milk that is full fat and unsweetened. Coconut milk found in the refrigerator section can contain lots of extra ingredients that you won’t want in your hair.

Aloe vera can be used to help moisturize dry hair and reduce breakage. I use it in my homemade conditioner because it leaves your hair soft, smooth, and shiny.
Aloe vera promotes hair growth, strengthens hair follicles, can prevent dry scalp, and reduce dandruff.
As said earlier, coconut milk can promote hair growth. Jojoba oil and shea butter also have excellent benefits for strengthening and lengthening the hair.
I added in rosemary and lavender essential oil because studies have shown these essential oils to be the best for hair growth and thickening.
NOTE: If shea butter rehardens, you may need to warm before spraying.

Typically, you will want to apply a leave-in conditioner to the hair after it has been washed and conditioned. You can apply it to wet or dry hair. However, it is best if your hair is slightly damp.
Spray conditioner generously over the hair and then style like normal. Avoid roots if you are prone to greasy or oily hair.
You shouldn’t use a leave-in conditioner on your hair daily. In fact, you should only conditioner your hair 2-3 times a week, depending on your hair type.
Over conditioning the hair can cause build-up and make the hair look greasy. If you have super fine hair that is oil-prone, then you may need to consider less conditioner.
Or consider using a dry shampoo to help absorb excess grease.
Moisturizing and nourishing a dry, itchy scalp can enable hair to grow stronger and thicker. Using a DIY leave-in conditioner can do just this to the scalp!
If you are experiencing hair loss or a lot of hair breakage, try using a leave-in conditioner a few times a week.
