8 Effective Homemade Conditioners For Dry Hair

Using a good conditioner is always a priority for women with dry hair. Without conditioner, our lives would be a mess. The uncontrollable frizz, unneeded texture, and unwanted breakage are all things we really want to do without. Conditioning helps smooth the hair shaft and keep it hydrated, which makes your hair soft, controls frizz, and gets rid of tangles.

There are many different types of conditioners available in the market today ranging from the ones you use before you wash your hair, to leave-in conditioners and overnight deep conditioning treatments. But did you know that you could also make your own conditioners at home? Not only are they super easy to make and barely cost you a thing, but they are also just as effective (if not more) as store bought conditioners, with none of the harsh chemicals. Following is a list of 8 hair conditioning treatments made from natural ingredients.
