How To Revitalize Hair With A Homemade Rice And Oatmeal Conditioner

Did you know that you can prepare a super healthy and nutritious homemade conditioner for your hair? Well yes, and the best of all is that, by doing it with natural ingredients, you will not spoil your hair at all.

Remember that conditioner is a product that is usually used as a complement to shampoo, especially when hair tends to lose its hydration.

Now, due to its high content of essential nutrients and hydrating compounds, a homemade conditioner helps  repair cuticles, split ends and other common problems that, although they do not affect health, are frowned upon on an aesthetic level.

Its regular use keeps the hair strands strong and shiny and, above all, gives them manageability to avoid damage during styling.

The homemade rice and oatmeal conditioner that we propose is highly valued for its high contribution of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that revitalize the entire mane: from the roots to the ends. Next, we tell you how to prepare it.

• After obtaining a creamy paste, combine it with the filtered liquid and proceed to use it.

Application mode

• Dampen your hair a little (not too much).

To consider

Although this homemade conditioner is ideal for keeping frizz under control , hydrating hair daily and giving it a smooth texture, we recommend that you do not exclude the possibility of deep hydration with other products.

As for the frequency of use, we recommend that you use your homemade conditioner every time you wash your hair. In this way, you can make constant use and get results.

Look for quality natural products so that the preparation is as healthy as possible. Avoid oats with sugars and additions that are not suitable for your hair at all.
