There’s a recipe for pretty much all hair types, so you’re bound to find one that works for you.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n
First, let’s cover a special ingredient.<\/p>\n
For some of the conditioners below I recommend using a lecithin base.\u00a0Lecithin is an important protein that plays a role within the human body. The lecithin we’re using here is extracted from sunflowers.<\/p>\n
We use as an ingredient because of how well it emulsifies.<\/p>\n

When you have dry hair it likely means that too little sebum is being produced be your scalp (sebaceous glands). This results in your hair not receiving enough protective lubricant (sebum), which makes your hair dry and potentially damaged, tangled, split, and broken.<\/p>\n
This can easily be aggravated by chlorine, too much sun and sea water, and exposure to bleaching and tinting chemicals.<\/p>\n

Here is another basic recipe for making your own conditioner for normal hair.\u00a0If you have oily hair, substitute birch or sage for lavender.\u00a0If you have dry hair, substitute geranium or yarrow for lemon.<\/p>\n

Greasy hair occurs for the opposite reasons as dry hair. Instead of under-active sebaceous glands, greasy hair is due to overactive sebaceous glands. There’s too much sebum created which gunks up the hair often making it look unwashed and unclean.\u00a0Greasy hair needs to be conditioned just like all types of hair<\/p>\n

Fragile hair has often been abused by a history of perms, colors and excessive product in general. It is likely thin, split or breaking. It must be treated gently to avoid further damage. The scalp also needs healthy stimulation to encourage healthy, strong hair growth in the future.<\/p>\n

Gradually this treatment will build up the remaining cells and help prevent breakage.<\/p>\n

Hair loss involves an unhealthy amount of hair coming out on a regular basis. There is always some hair fall when we brush our hair, but these recipes are intended to support the scalp and hair when it is seriously falling.<\/p>\n
If hair loss is severe seriously consider a trip to the doctor. They can run tests to see if it’s related to a deficiency of the thyroid, pituitary gland or any other glandular issue.<\/p>\n
Essential oils for treating alopecia: thyme, rosemary, lavender, carrot, sage, cypress, birch, palma rosa, rose, yarrow, calendula<\/p>\n
Thick oils for treating alopecia: jojoba, borage, evening primrose<\/p>\n
