You can either add essential oils of your choice to a natural conditioner or you can make a homemade conditioner as well by using a few drops of essential oils, avocado, egg yolk, jojoba and mayonnaise. Apply it on your hair, leave for 15 minutes and finally rinse well using cold water to be left with soft and shiny hair.
