is it possible to...

[naturaline]

to make your own protein conditioner?

 

[Candy_C]

yeh definately! i'm planning to make up my own and bottle it up!

Its with fresh natural ingredients though so it only last for about a week in the fridge, but you could always freeze it!

I'm going to use:

• The pulp of Hass Avocado
• Egg white
• Distilled water (or even boiled)
• Olive Oil {4 tablespoons)
• Wheat Germ Oil (2 table spoons}

I class this as a medium protein con, maybe for montly use. i've used this three times with excellent results!! MY HAIR ISN'T THAT KEEN ON PROTEIN BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE THE RIGHT BALANCE and has kept my hair from breaking immediatey for a good few months!

a harder protein:

• Hass Avacado
• Egg white
• Distilled Water {half of small cup}
• Pure Protein Powder {teaspoon}
• Peanut Oil {1 tablespoon}
• Olive Oil {2 tablespoons}

I haven't used this yet, the only change is the peanut oil and the protein powder. This would be for emergencies, so probabley a few weeks after your re-touch {if relaxed} or every 6-8 weeks. These recipes have oil in to seal it all in, and also condition the hair while strengthening. avacado and peanut oil have preotin content too, which is rare for oils. hope that helps! ps. if 1 teaspoon of pure protein isn't enough than up the dose. they say only some protein penetrates the hair but i've had lots of luck with eggs for protein and so have many many others.

just to add, if you can get a hold of hydrolzed soya protein, than that will penetrate the hair.

I second the mayonnaise... just good ol' Best Foods/Hellman's. Under a heat cap for 15-20 minutes, shampoo, conditioner ... my hair loves it!

Add an egg yolk to your regular deep conditioner.
