In an attempt to rid myself of dry, crunchy ends, I decided today to enter the wide world of homemade conditioner.
Ingrediants:
1 not quite mashed up banana
1 tsp of alo vera gel
1 tbsp of coconut oil
Directions:
Begin by mashing banana with a fork (best if you use an old chrismas mug as a container). Don't worry about those little chunks, they're important to the process. Attempt to mix in oil as best you can. Pop in in the microwave for twenty seconds to see if that helps. More mixing with the fork. Don't work overly hard at it, just until "good enough".
Attempt to put it in your hair over the sink. Get globs of banana all over your bathroom floor. Jump in the shower. Continue attempting to work globs into your hair. Give up when you've used half the mug and turn the water on.
Attempt to rinse mixture out of your hair. Make sure you work the globs into your tangles with vigorous scrubbing in an attempt to get them out. Shampoo once, twice, three times with your clarifying shampoo. The shampoo will remove the oil, making your hair squeaky clean - and, therefore, more stickable for the banana. Wash once with your coney shampoo. Decide that now is a good time to worry about hair dryness and begin slathering conditioner on. Notice this works slightly better at removing banana globs.
Grabbing a tiny towel, hold it up to your chest (do not dry off!) and run through the house to the living room to fetch your wide tooth plastic comb. Be sure and leave wet footprints - your carpet needed to be washed anyway.
Return to the shower, and slather on more conditioner. Begin attempting to comb the banana out. When your hair is reasonably tangle free, rinse. Add more conditioner. Comb our your hair. Rinse again. You may sit on the floor of the bathtub if you begin to grow tired. Continue process until your water has grown cold and your newly opened conditioner bottle is half empty. Take one final rinse, and turn off water to huddle under a towel while you wait for the water to warm up.
Get distracted by your husband coming home. Have your roommate jump in the shower to get ready for work (thereby using all the hot water you've so patiently waited for). Throw your hands up in the air, put on a bathing suit, and go swimming in the pool in the hopes that the chlorine will get all the last little bits out.
Resolve to never, ever experiment again.:cheese:
