Homemade Recipes: List Them Here

**stthomas10** · 01-03-2011, 06:04 PM

I am so glad that I found this thread!!! I just about printed out the entire thing and have been concocting all weekend. Too bad I only have one head to try all of these out on. I made the Thick Rich Body/Hair Milk and Creamy Hair Cream. I also made a glycerine spray and an herbal tea spray. I also tried avocado and mayo on my damaged hair. Love, Love, Love all of this. My curls are really defined and dare I say it...bouncy?

Here is my addition to the thread...I dont really measure, I just eyeball it.

unrefined shea butter
coconut oil
sweet almond oil
olive oil
honey (just a tad)

I used the avocado/mayo treatment. Then I used the above recipe for extra conditioning when making my 2-strand twists and wrapped in a silk scarf. This morning I rinsed my hair with Pantene Curls to Straight condish and when I got out of the shower applied the Thick Rich Body/Hair Milk. My hair is lovin' this.

Thanks to all of you ladies who have contributed.

Herbal Hair Rinse (for dry, itchy scalp)
-3/4 Peppermint Tea
-1/4 ACV
-2 dollops of Aloe Vera Gel
-1 squirt of Honey
-A couple drops of Tea Tree EO
-A couple drops of Eucalyptus EO

I mix up the aforementioned in a water bottle. I use it once a week after shampooing.

For me it's water! The wetter my hair the more it swells.

Omg

this is perfect! I usually buy natural shampoos and conditioners from this fair trade shop in England, but at the moment I'm in Spain and don't kno where to get good products, thanks to this thread I can just buy the ingredients and do everything at home

mix together. add fragrance. put into 8oz bottle with a disk top, b/c as it cools the mixture will thicken too much for one of those flip-spout top bottles. i am finding this simply HEAVENLY right now for after-shower body moisturizing.

if you don't have this exact ratio of oils, the main idea is mixing a Tablespoon or two of melted shea butter into about 1 cup of liquid oil.

I am dying to make this recipe! I too have been using baby oil after my shower and it just isn't cutting it for me anymore. But I have a quick question, which one of these ingredients is the fragrance or do I just add my own one that I like?

Thanks!
