Time for treats; Oil & Yogurt Conditioner

OK, so I was hoping to do a brilliant post on Irish moss but after being defeated by the stuff two days in a row I've come up with a little something special for you (That's right, Irish moss is why I didn't post last night - note to self: remember not to get too involved with post topics!)
There are a gazillion things that live in the kitchen - and are predominantly used for eating - that are also fantastic for your hair and skin. For instance an over-ripe banana, mashed into a paste makes an awesome pre-shampoo conditioner that will leave your hair gleaming. Mix that banana with a bit of coconut milk and you've magicked that one ingredient conditioner into a 2-course meal for your hair.

But today, we're talking yogurt (preferably live) and 1 or 2 oils of your choosing. We were once told that yogurt is best used on dark hair but Em's fair-haired and it's been as nourishing to her hair as it has ours.

Yogurt and Oil Pre-Shampoo Conditioner
You can always use one oil instead of two, so long as you use 2 tablespoons of oil the recipe will be super nourishing! To put your own twist on this you can always add a few drops of an essential oil suited to your hair type. Chamomile is great for fair hair and Rosemary is good for dark hair.

1 tbsp live yogurt (we use goat's yogurt)
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp hemp seed oil/olive oil/omega oil blend

1) Put all of the ingredients into a cup, mix it up, if using add 2-4 drops of your chosen essential oil now.

2) Apply to your hair and leave for 15-20 minutes.

3) Shampoo.

N.B. If you'd prefer not to use yogurt, gently warm 2-3 tbsps of olive oil (or a blend of oils as above),  wrap your hair in a towel for 20 minutes. Shampoo.


We hope you've had a lovely day!
