Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi - another newbie (well sort of) here. I've been making soaps and other goodies for a couple of years now and I love the info I've been getting from this list. I'm looking for a recipe for hair conditioner. I've come up with a shampoo I love, but would like to make a conditioner to match. Any ideas? ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I have no experience of actually doing this but what about coconut oil or olive oil? Would it be better not to use anything on her hair at all then the shampoo wouldn't dry it out? That's what I've always done for my son - we only use water. Natasha McBride says egg whites make a good shampoo. We tried this a couple of times and liked the results. Not sure if it would help with the dryness.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I love the miessence range of organic products and their shampoos and conditioners are really good no nasties in them and the extra bonus of Australian Bush essences too. We also have found the Avalon range or organic shampoos and conditioners good- the lemon is really lovely as is the lavender and the tea tree is good to get rid of the little critters head lice too. We stopped using Earth friendly stuff as it either had SLS in it or Propylene Glycol or isopropyl alcohol which trigger dds seizures too... The Mi essence body wash is really good too- it is made from sunflower extracts. Hope this helps Tracey On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 11:20 AM, Sara Moroza- <Moroza-@...> wrote: I have no experience of actually doing this but what about coconut oil or olive oil?Would it be better not to use anything on her hair at all then the shampoo wouldn't dry it out?

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Olive oil is good but mustard seed oil is phenomenal. Just massage a couple of teaspoons into the hair and leave for half an hour and then wash off. You will need shampoo though. The latter doesn't smell good when applied, but rest assured, you will notice the difference immediately. SOme people mix egg whites with the oil. Very good for conditioning. > > > > > > > > Does anyone know of a legal hair conditioner that I could use on my > > six year old daughter? > > > > We wash her hair with Earth Friendly Baby Body Wash & Shampoo but it > > leaves her hair so dry that it takes forever to brush and it feels > > like I'm pulling out more than I'm brushing!!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 NOt 100%, but think -McBride suggests egg yolks, not whites. I would imagine the heat would cause the whites to coagulate.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi Tracey, Thanks for your reply. Could I please ask you to send me the links of where you buy these products from? I've found both Miessence & Avalon's websites but they are in the US.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sara, Are you sure it was egg whites and not egg yolks? I have washed my hair with egg yolk before (do not rinse with HOT water!)and the reason this works is that the yolk contains lecithin which presumably emulsifies the grease in the hair.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 no not sure! My notes say egg whites but someone else said it must be yolks. I think it's probably yolks.
