Let me start this by explaining that I don't really do anything to my hair. I get highlights once every other year maybe, I run a curling iron through it approximately once a month, I don't use hair spray or straighteners or anything like that. None of this is to make a statement, I just don't do it. After I left college, I got over having big platinum blonde super straight hair.
Flashback to 2008:
Yeah, big difference! I also don't go to tanning salons, drink every weekend, or live in a sorority house anymore. (I loved every second of college, but I'm definitely past it and have a very different lifestyle now)
Anyways, what I'm about to give you isn't a recipe. You don't need to order anything online or cook anything in a pot or anything like that.
For conditioner, I use coconut oil. I don't mix it with anything. When I get in the shower, I put the jar on the floor where the water can run over it to warm it up. Give it a minute or two, there should be just enough coconut oil melted for your hair, a tablespoon or less is perfect. I rub it into the ponytail section of my wet hair. Then I brush my hair all the way from root to end. Leave it in while you finish washing yourself. Rinse your hair really well. Then shampoo thoroughly. Maybe even shampoo twice if you have a lot of hair. The end. Say goodbye to your regular hair conditioner.
The other thing I use is Argan oil. A lot of people and salons are using Moroccan oil on their hair. Its expensive and not pure. Use plain old organic Argan oil instead. Its cheaper and it works better. Pour a tiny bit into your hands, rub it in, and then run your fingers through your hair just like you would Moroccan oil.
If you do use lots of products, bleach, and heating tools- I'm not sure how well this will work for you, but try anyways. I just can't guarantee because I haven't tried. Every little bit of garbage chemicals you can cut out of your life will make a difference. As I find more successful, easy organic alternatives I'll share. :)
