5 homemade conditioners for dry hair
Do you know that most hair conditioners are made up of silicones? Silicone is the ingredient that makes your hair silky and manageable. But it is also responsible for pulling your hair down and causing buildup. If you are looking for a conditioner that is free of silicones, then organic products are your best bet. However, you can make some right at your home.

Combine one tablespoon of olive oil, one teaspoon of honey, and half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and apply the mixture to your hair. After half an hour, wash off the mixture with a mild shampoo. Olive oil has high moisturizing properties and honey is rich in antioxidants. In addition, ACV helps treat hair damage.
