BE Inspired to D.I.Y. Leave In Conditioner.

Hair conditioners are designed to add strength, smooth damaged follicles and retain the natural moisture levels in hair. Many conditioning products on the market, however, contain chemicals, synthetic ingredients, and silicone that can actually damage or build up in hair and ultimately dull and weigh it down. Leave-in conditioner is used to soften hair, protect against styling instruments, reduce frizz and detangle. It differs from regular conditioner because it is used in smaller amounts and is not rinsed away.
My niece is obsessed with her hair. She's constantly is in the mirror , with her fingers, or a comb in her hair. She says to me that she want's it to grow. My reply to her is to leave it alone and wear it curly (the wet look) for awhile. She then insisted that I make her a leave in conditioner. I know Finding the perfect leave-in conditioner can be difficult for a natural curly. There are so many different products lines that claim to offer moisture and shine! Before you jump on the next product-craze bandwagon, why not try making your own leave-in conditioner?
 Bellow are a few options for you to try:
Extra Moisturizing
Ingredients
  • 1 cup of your favorite all natural/organic conditioner
  • 1 cup distilled water
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp shea butter (raw)
  • ½ tbsp of each of the following: grape seed, avocado, & olive oils
  • 5-10 large drops of honey
  • 10-15 drops of tea tree oil
    Combine all ingredients in a container or jar and shake well.
The next recipe you only need THREE ingredients!
Aloe Vera Gel Leave-in Conditioner
4oz water
4oz aloe vera gel
10 drops of essential oil (pick your favorite!)
Directions: Add water and aloe vera gel to a small bowl and stir lightly with a spoon. Pour the contents into a spray bottle and shake. Add an essential oil of your choice and shake lightly again. Use daily or as often as needed to restore softness.
Softening Conditioner
Add your favorite organic or all-natural conditioner into a clean spray bottle with distilled water. The ratio should be approximately 1 part conditioner to 3 parts water but you can adjust it to your preference.

Most commercially obtainable air fresheners incorporate butylphenyl methylpropional, methyl pyrrolidone, propylene glycol, acetaldehyde, one,three-Dichloro-two-propanol, and different other chemicals that are toxic to the immune system and joined to allergy symptoms, problems, eye irritations, developmental and reproductive issues, and so on. As a result, the fact that you can incorporate natural ingredients and avoid hazardous chemical substances although generating your personal place fresheners at residence helps make this thought far more attractive. The total time it takes to make is about five to six (5-6) minutes and then twenty-four (24) hours to solidify.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate= Detergent in your toothpaste.

You are seduced on a daily basis by the intoxicating aromas, flashy packaging, and enticing promises of everlasting youth these products offer. But what is the real cost of applying these products to your body? If I were to tell you that your personal care products could be putting you at risk for hair and skin damage, immunological problems, damage to your eyes, and possibly even cancer, would you pay a little more attention to their ingredients? The growing awareness of chemicals in the foods you eat has led many of you to begin reading labels. If you are doing this as part of your regular shopping routine, I commend you, and you will likely live longer for it. But what about the products you are smearing all over yourself? Eye makeup can be absorbed by your highly sensitive mucous membranes. Hair sprays, perfumes and powders can be inhaled, irritating your lungs. Lipstick is licked off and swallowed. Sunscreen and lotions are absorbed through your s

Glycol Propylene-Hazardous to your Health. It's in EVERYTHING!

Image
What is propylene glycol? It is is a chemical found in personal care products that acts as a penetration enhancer that keeps products from melting in heat and/or freezing when it is cold. It is found in items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, acne treatment, moisturizer, toothpaste, deodorant, nail polish, mascara; basically anything you could possibly use on your body, propylene glycol is in it.  Why should you avoid propylene glycol? For starters it alters the structure of the skin by allowing chemicals to penetrate deep beneath it while increasing their ability to reach the blood stream. Sounds lovely, right? So even if propylene glycol was good for you, it’s main job is to help any other chemicals you come in contact with reach your bloodstream. Who wants to use a chemical designed to help other chemicals penetrate even deeper into your skin? Not me. However, there is even more to it than just that… How Toxic is Propylene
