Attention Mixtress

[mj11051]

I would like to start a Homemade hair products challenge. Anyone interested? all you gotta do is make your own cleansers, conditioners and moisturizers.

 

[Squikee]

I like your idea! I think we would need to share recipes that we use. I realize that I mix more stuff for my skin and body than I do for my hair but I would like how to mix some stuff to give my hair the care it needs.

Well girl, I'm all in this. I only use what I make and they work. I first thought that my hair would grow slower because I either can't use or afraid to use most products. They always made my hair shed. After a year of using what I mix, I seem to be right on point.

What I use on my hair I use on my skin. They're of the same organ system(integumentary system) and what the hair and nails require to be beautiful, so does the skin. When I use my stuff in my hair, whatever drips or is left on my hands I rub on my face, neck, chest and arms until it's all gone. You can only do this with homemade products though. Commercial products put in harsh things that the thicker skin handle but your face or hair can't handle. My hair skin AND nails love shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, vitamine e, silk amino acid(yes, makes the hair and skin silky soft and smooth) and on and on. The castile soap, same thing, it's good for my hair and skin.

Add me! This is my new obsession!
I'm trying to gather as much data as I can and make a word document. So far this weekend I bought a bottle of Aubrey's Organics honeysuckle rose and added avocado oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera juice, coconut oil, grapeseed oil and rosewater. At first I didn't think it would work but WOW my hair is looking pretty fly LOL I left it on my hair overnight, woke up and added whipped gelly by Hairveda & a dab of ecostyler for the frizzies. My hair looked and felt amazing!

Yesterday I bought glycerine, aloe vera gel and I'm about to make me some homemade gel.

Would anyone else like to join us?

I mixed my first moisturizer this weekend! I used glycerin and distilled water and my hair is moisturized without being weighed down. My hair looks like it grew overnight. Apparently the stuff I was buying was too heavy for my fine tresses. I want to make shampoo, conditioner and gel now. I'm hooked

Ok, that's really good to know! I bought some castile soap the other day but I'm not real sure what to do with it. I guess I can mix some oils in it and maybe some shea butter . . . erplexed I like mixing things but I really have no idea what I'm doing. I guess I just want to see what could work for me or not. I need to buy some silk amino acids, too. I've heard a lot of good things about those for the hair but if it'll work on my skin, too. Thank you for the info!

Can you share some of your recipes with us, though? And tell us how they benefit your hair? You have beautiful hair! I would like to get to where you are one day.

 

[hurricane]

Think I would like to join. My daughter has natural hair and I'm tired of spending money on natural hair care products that may or may not work.

First deep conditioner:

1 avocado
1 tbsp olive oil
1 can coconut milk mixed with 3 limes.
this was broken down to 1 treatment with much more left over.

Have not used it yet. But will within the week.

Thanks - but I really don't have any recipes. The carmel treat is out there - all over the net.... And the coconut & lime is also out there.

I don't measure with other things.
I experiment.

I would join this Challenge but I have so much going on that I don't have time to mix, but I will keep coming back here reading the recipes LOL!!

Yeap, these things are already out there and I don't measure. I use other recipes as guidlines.
