When it comes to keeping our hair healthy and nourished, using homemade conditioners are must. But deep conditioners you buy at the store can be expensive and often have harsh chemicals in them.

You can also make your own deep conditioner at home, which is a great alternative. Not only are these conditioners cheap, but they are also made with natural ingredients that are good for your hair.

Deep conditioners you make at home can do the same things that store-bought ones can, like moisturise dry hair, make it more soft, and stop it from breaking. You can also change the ingredients to suit your hair type and needs.

In this article, we will explore some of the benefits of using a homemade deep conditioner and provide a few easy recipes to try at home.

Homemade Conditioners

Shampoo cleanses and eliminates dirt from your hair. Additionally, it eases the itching, dandruff, inflammation, and redness of the scalp. It manages your hair’s oiliness and maintains its beauty. 

But daily shampooing has the potential to harm your hair, especially the follicles. Your hair loses moisture and nutrients from frequent washing.The use of a conditioner is crucial for this reason.

A good conditioner restores the natural shine of your hair and moisturises your scalp. It protects against hair damage and battles dryness. Conditioners offer quick advantages. As a result, your hair starts to shine more quickly. 

But keep in mind that not all hair conditioners are made equal. Here is a list of popular hair conditioners so you can learn about their variations:

1. Instant/Rinse Out conditioners
2. Leave In Conditioners
3. Deep conditioners
4. Oil conditioners

In this article, we’ll go through the homemade deep conditioners for dry and damaged hair.
