Conditioners:
*************************************************************
This one is my favorite, and I used it early on into my journey
Avocado Deep Conditioner
1 small jar of mayonnaise
1/2 avocado
Directions:
Peel avocado and remove pit. Mash avocado then mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl with your hands until it's a consistent green color. Smooth into hair. Use shower cap or plastic wrap to seal body heat in. Leave on hair for 20 minutes. For deeper conditioning wrap a hot, damp towel around your head over the plastic, or use a hair dryer set to a low to medium heat setting. Store extra in refrigerator.

Homemade shampoos
I use this simple shampoo once a month, you'll need 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup liquid Castile Soap
1/2 teaspoon sunflower or other light vegetable oil
Directions
Mix together all the ingredients. Store in a bottle. Use as you would any shampoo, rinse well.
Chamomile tea is good for drinking and natural hair:

Steep the tea bags in 1 1/2 cups of boiled water for 20 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard. Add the soap flakes to the tea and let stand until the soap softens. Stir in glycerin until well blended. Keep in a dark, cool place in a sealed bottle.
Deep treatments

Mayo is another fav of mines:
1/2 cup mayo
Directions:
Rinse and towel dry. Apply mayonnaise to the hair. Massage in. Let sit for 10-15 minutes, shampoo again lightly and rinse with an apple cider vinegar and water solution. This will help with the smell and remove any residue.
Use along with one egg if you'd like (messy but good)
