wasn't exactly homemade but i like the tips for adding natural ingredients to what you already have on hand. if you'd like, i can provide some recipes for ALL natural home made hair care shampoos and conditioners. Caring for afro-ethnic hair can be tricky. Most store bought products are designed for non-ethnic hair, typically caucasian hair types. They contain harsh alcohols which dry afro-ethnic hair, as well as an array of arificial UNnatural ingredients that are extremely harmful. Among the worst are chemical relaxers designed for "black" hair. Studies show that these relaxers contain chemicals (lye and other chemicals) that can lead to premature hair loss and hair breakage even when used correctly. They have also been linked to certain cancers.

How to Make Homemade Hair Care Products for Black Hair Styles

I'm Jacqueline on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip I will be telling you how to make a very simple homemade hair receipt. It doesn't get much more simple then this. All you have to do is go to your kitchen and pull out your brown sugar, grab your conditioner and you add one table spoon of brown sugar for every 3 tablespoons of conditioner. Usually just one tablespoon of brown sugar and 3 tablespoon of conditioner is enough for a normal size head but you could always make more double your receipt if you like. What the brown sugar does it helps to exfoliate the scalp. So it could help with getting rid of dandruff. You are going to want to rub the scalp in circular motions. The person would really enjoy this. It is very relaxing for the person who you give the scalp rub to. Then you rinse it well or you could shampoo it out if you choose. The next homemade hair receipt is probably even easier then the first one. It is one teaspoon of honey for four cups of warm water. You just pour it on after you shampoo and leave it on. Do not rinse it out and dry your hair as normal. This puts a very nice natural shin on your hair it is not sticky and it smells so good. It doesn't get much simpler then that so try some of these homemade hair receipts at home and see how you like them.
