How to Make a Quick & Easy DIY Deep Conditioner for 4C Hair Growth

Tools and materials:

• Pot
• Bowl
• Spoon
• Stove
• Container
• Shea butter
• Coconut oil
• Avocado
• Raw honey
• Argan oil
• Coconut milk
• Blender

1. Boil the water

In a pot, add some water and wait for it to boil. Then, add a bowl on top; this is where you’ll melt the shea butter. 

2. Shea butter

Now, add about ¾ cup of shea butter into the bowl. Use a measuring cup for accuracy.

Just a quick side note: if you want to know what makes a deep conditioner, then the secret is shea butter. It’s super nourishing not only to your hair but also to your skin, and it’s packed with good stuff, like amino acids and collagen. 

3. Coconut oil

Next, add ¼ cup of natural coconut oil. Coconut oil really adds that much-needed moisture, especially for 4c hair. It is a vital ingredient for this natural hair DIY deep conditioner.

4. Avocado

Grab your cutting board and cut a ripe avocado. I only use half of it as I feel it’s enough for the ratio of this recipe. 

Then, mash it all up! 

Ensure to mix up the shea butter and coconut oil as you go along. 

All in all, it took around 8 minutes for the ingredients to melt. 

5. Raw honey

Once it’s all melted, add some raw honey and whisk it in.

Honey is a natural antioxidant and actually stimulates hair growth - another fantastic ingredient to have for this hair growth deep conditioner recipe. 

6. Mix the ingredients

Add your avocado mixture and switch off your stovetop. Now, whisk in the avo. This process can be a little tedious as it requires some physical work, so if you have a blender, you can definitely use that to cut the hassle. 

7. Argan oil

Lastly, add a few drops of argan oil. It’s great for nourishment as well as smell. 

Tip: If you don't have argan oil, you can use tea tree oil or almond oil. 

8. Cover and cool

Now, cover the mixture and place it in your fridge for around 20 minutes. 

9. Blend

So, as I mentioned, for those who have a blender, this would also be a great time to use it. As you can see, the mixture is now somewhat chunky, and it needs to be smoother.

So, go ahead and pour the content into your blender, pour half a cup of coconut milk, and…blend! 

10. Store

Now, decant your deep conditioner into a mason jar and refrigerate.
