all about conditioning

real quick before game time...

Carol's daughter's hair smoothie is wonderful.

However, 20 bucks for 8oz is pretty expensive. But I love it so I would buy two or three at a time. Shipping is usually free if you spend more than 50 dollars.

If I ran out of that, I would sometimes use plain old cholesterol conditioners.

I like the one's with carrot oil or olive oil. I rarely used the cholesterol conditioner by itself. I would normally mix honey in it or add some sort of oil.

another great conditioner I've used is simply mixing an avocado with coconut milk and a little oil. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Thai-Kitchen-Tk-Coconut-Milk-Coconut-Milk-14-fl-oz/10309672

coconut milk stinks. So after using this concoction for conditioner, I would spritz my hair with a little water with peppermint or vanilla extract. Sometimes mixing them together.

I've never really been into leave in conditioners. I have some of Carol's daughter's leave in that has lasted me a very long time. I would use it after blow drying my hair if I was gonna wear it loose and free. I would dilute it with water and spray a little bit on my hair. It helped to keep it shiny and moist.

In fact, I think I'll use it on my baby locs too.

Any time I did a hot oil treatment, I would just heat up some olive oil and use that. And while conditioning, I would leave it in for about half an hour with my head covered with a plastic bag.

These things worked pretty well for me. Not very expensive or time consuming. Nothing complicated about it either.
