It can be fun, special, and self-loving to make hair and body care products from scratch with ingredients that may already be on hand. Everyone’s hair length and texture is different; all or just some of this product will be needed, depending! The entire amount of prepared product can be used immediately, or it can be stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for one week for multiple uses. Try sharing this deep conditioning treatment with a loved one if extra is available!
