Simple Home-made Leave-in Hair Conditioner

This is how you can make your own simple leave in hair conditioner at home:

What you will need:
- A store bought hair conditioner 
Suggestion: I use Moogoo's cream conditioner because it does not contain sulfates and it contains natural oils; which are perfect for smoothing frizz and softening hair.
- An oil (optional) I.e; coconut, olive, jojoba or argan oil.
- Water (use distilled water, if preferred)
- A spray bottle

How to make:
Step 1: Fill 1/8 of the spray bottle with your chosen conditioner
Step 2: Add a table spoon of your chosen oil
Step 3: Fill the remainder of the bottle with water, but leave some room for when you shake it (it will foam up)
Step 3 :Shake until the conditioner and oil have fully mixed with the water.

Now you have your own leave-in hair conditioner!


Note: You will need to shake your leave-in-conditioner before each use.

Let me know how you went! :)
