Rosemary Honey Olive Oil Hair Conditioner
Winter weather can be harsh on skin, nails, and even hair. The natural moisture balance in our hair is affected by changes in temperature, including just coming and going from warm, heated interiors to the frigid outdoors. Sitting inside a heated room is the equivalent of spending an entire afternoon under a hair dryer. Add static from “hat hair” and you’ve got the Perfect Hair Storm. This Rosemary Honey Olive Oil DIY Hair Conditioner comes to your rescue. It adds both shine and moisture, and may stimulate growth.
Rosemary Honey Olive Oil Hair Conditioner
This nourishing conditioner blends two ingredients from nature -- honey for shine and olive oil for moisture -- and is enhanced with essential oil of rosemary to stimulate hair growth.
Materials
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (for dry hair) -OR0
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for normal hair)
- 4 drops Rosemary Essential Oil

- To use, apply a small amount to your slightly dampened hair. Massage your scalp and work the conditioner through your hair until it is completely and evenly distributed.
- Next, cover your hair with a warm towel (your microwave or dryer can heat it up) or shower cap; leave the conditioner in place on to nourish and condition for 30 minutes.
