While I’m all for natural DIY beauty recipes, I’ve noticed a lot of the ones online call for nasty ingredients like egg yolk and mayonnaise—Zoiks! Um yeah, I want my hair to look luxuriously smooth and sexy, but I don’t wanna puke in my mouth tryin’ to get there.
I wanted to share some of my fave vegan conditioner recipes that will leave your hair feeling amazing sans the chicken period goo and stinky, sour mayo. You’re welcome. 
Recipe #1
Ingredients
Peel, pit, and mash your avocado. Add the coconut milk and coconut oil and mix until smooth. Work this conditioner through your hair (you can let it hang out for 10-15 minutes for deeper conditioning). Rinse and then shampoo. If you’ve never tried conditioning before shampooing, you’re in for a treat!

Recipe #2
Ingredients
Mix all of the ingredients together, massage into your hair and scalp, and then rinse. Easy-peasy! Apple cider vinegar not only works as a great detangler, but it also leaves your hair soft and shiny and protects your scalp from getting dandruffy.

Recipe #3
Ingredients
Mix all of your ingredients together and massage your conditioner into your hair and scalp. Let the conditioner work its magic for a good 20 minutes before rinsing and shampooing. This yummy smelling treatment will leave your hair soft, manageable and fling-worthy.
Which recipe is your fave?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Another tip for making #1 smell nice (if you have a bit of a green thumb or are lucky enough to have some nearby) Use lavender or lilac blooms (or other small aromatic flowers) in it. Just pack about 3/4 of the bottle full or fresh OR dried ones then fill with the rest of the ingredients. Top off with water as neccesary, I let my bottle steep for at least a day in a sunny window or on the porch(Like suntea!) and ill get normally two or three good showers worth out of this which is all you really need per week when you shampoo and condition with natural products or go noshampoo like myself.

I read somewhere that the worst way to “natrualy condition your hair” is to use egg or mayo because the particals are to big.
