Creating Concoctions

Shelbie always talks about using her perishables in every dish that she makes. When you are making food only for yourself it is easy to forget you have certain produce items. They can easily spoil before you get a chance to use them. I've began to incorporate this method as well. Especially since I do not have a job I can't just have onions and peppers rotting in my fridge.

During my weekly deep conditioning treatments I had a bright idea! Why don't I use this food method when it comes to my hair?

If you read as many hair blogs as I do you have definitely seen the use of everyday food for hair nourishment, but that is not what I am going for here.

What I mean is combining multiple hair products in order to make the ultimate product and also to use products that do not do that great of a job on their own.

What I used for my DC was
- Shea Moisture Deep Treatment mask ($9.99 @ Target!)
- Yes to Cucumbers Conditioner
- Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner
- Hemp Seed Oil
- Peppermint and Rosemary essential oils

This concoction was really me looking around on my dresser to see what I could use. I didn't have any thought out logic when using this combination. Definitely an experiment.

However, the results were amazing! I left the conditioner on for an hour with my heat cap. My hair was incredibly soft and so much easier to detangle. I also credit this success for how long I left the conditioner on. Usually I only leave it on for 20 min, but realized that with all of this thick hair that is definitely not enough.

Hope this helps!
