I really like the idea of making my own everyday stuff, but lack of time/energy often prevents it. However today I made my second batch of homemade hair conditioner. It's ridiculously easy to do; all in all it takes less than 10 minutes. I was inspired by this article. I've made a few changes, namely I'm only using xantham gum as I couldn't find guar gum at my co-op. Here's my recipe:
2/3 cup of water
1 tsp xantham gum
1 tsp olive oil
a few drops of tea tree oil
a few drops of "sacred altar" essential oil
Add all ingredients to a blender and mix for about a minute. Ta-da!
This seems to be about the perfect sized batch to last me about a month. I wouldn't want any more than that as I don't want it to go rancid. Next time I'll try using an herbal tea instead of plain water, or I'll pick up a new essential oil from the store. Now I need to try making my own shampoo!
