Put sunflower or olive oil in your hair before you wash. The longer you leave it on the lusher your hair will be.

It'll all come out when you shampoo.

i have extra virgin olive oil, will that do teh same job? i can leave it to soak in overnight and wash out in the morning.

i have got cocnut oil but wasn't sure if it would work as a conditioner by itself?

I'm sure I've read that you can put hand cream in your hair, I wouldn't use a lot though!

You sure you don't have any mini samples anywhere from hotels stuck in a drawer somewhere?

HettyKett · 06/04/2012 21:50

Coconut oil is perfect!

Leave it on overnight if you can, yes. Remember to put a towl on your pillow though.

(put it on dry hair, do the full length of the hair and to the roots)

Nothing. I ran out of conditioner which was a nightmare for me as my hair is very tangly. Kept forgetting to buy it and after about a week I didn't need it. Haven't used it for a year now and my hair is so much thicker and cleaner looking, also much easier to blow dry.

I've used a very light body lotion before.

BonnieBumble · 06/04/2012 21:58

Also it stopped my flaky scalp too.

i remember the days before conditioner.......

IAmBooyhoo · 06/04/2012 22:00

really bonnie? hmm, could save myself a fortune. i have bleached hair so i think i will need to use something.

I have highlighted bleached hair too. Honestly I would never have believed it, I couldn't even get the comb through my hair the first time, but now it really is in lovely condition. My hairdresser was really surprised but admitted that it is in better condition, she thought I had been having deep treatments.

IAmBooyhoo · 06/04/2012 22:19

wow! i think i might wean myself off it with the coconut oil. i hate nothing more than combing through tatty hair. it makes me cry like a wee girl. Blush
