How to make it

  • Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour into a clean plastic bottle with a tight fitting stopper or lid.
  • Apply a small amount at a time to slightly dampened hair.
  • Massage scalp and work mixture through hair until completely coated.
  • Cover hair with a warm towel (towel can be heated in a microwave or dryer) or shower cap; leave on to nourish and condition for 30 minutes.
  • Remove towel or shower cap; shampoo lightly and rinse with cool water.
  • Dry as normal and enjoy shinier, softer and healthier hair the natural way.
  • ****************************************************************************
  • Guar gum is derived from the guar plant. Guar gum is a natural thickener,
  • emulsifier and stabilizer, and is widely used in food and cosmetics. Guar gum is
  • useful because it has the ability to thicken without requiring heat. Its viscosity is a
  • function of temperature, time and concentration. When combined with a
  • saturated solution of borax and water, guar gum will form a gel. It is used at a rate
  • of .1 - .5% in most formulations. You can order it online or get it at your favorite
  • Co-op Natural foods store. It's worth the hunt down for it.
