Of all the do-it-yourself recipes I’ve tried, homemade hair conditioner is one of the easiest.
It’s seriously simple and only requires three ingredients: hot distilled water, apple cider vinegar, and jojoba oil.
That’s it! Best of all, it only takes a few minutes to make at home.
Apple Cider Vinegar? On My Hair?
If you have apple cider vinegar in your home or have used it in the past, you know that it has a strong odor; so you may be apprehensive about adding such an ingredient to your hair conditioner.
Let me tell you, while the apple cider vinegar’s scent is noticeable when you apply the hair conditioner, it’s barely discernible as your hair dries.
And it’s undetectable once your hair is completely dry.
Storing Homemade Hair Conditioner
My favorite way to store DIY hair conditioner is in an inexpensive dispenser bottle. The one I currently use was $0.98 at Walmart; and it’s perfect because of the long tip that makes it easy to apply the conditioner effectively. This is important because this particular hair conditioner has a watery consistency and is quite different from the store bought versions.
Do you know what else makes this conditioner different?
It isn’t full of chemicals.
It only has three ingredients, and you can pronounce them all. Plus, it works! π

Hi Sandra,
I am dying to see how this fares on my thick head of curls that tangles easily I often do a final rinse with vinegar but with a dilution of much more water in a tall cup.
Would you happen to remember what dept. you found this kind of bottle in? Would it be with food stuff or paper plates (like those red and yellow picnic type ketchup and mustard bottles:
Or… was it like in the cleanser bottle section? I’d rather NOT have to use red or yellow (if I can’t find clear) but this type of bottle def looks like the best thing for the job!
Tee
Do you use it in the shower or no? Rinse out or no?
Thanks from,
someone allergic to every single shampoo and conditioner ever made!
