A few notes on why the particular ingredients in this conditioner are great for hair:


Coconut Milk: Stimulates growth, restores damaged hair, can sometimes loosen curls. I read on a couple of websites that homemade coconut milk works better than store bought. Jillee has directions for making your own here.


Honey: Softens and smooths hair, boosts hair growth, antibacterial, increases shine


Coconut Oil: Moisturizes and strengthens hair, helps fight dandruff


Greek Yogurt: Moisturizes and strengthens hairs, increases shine, helps fight dandruff


Rosemary Essential Oil: Cleanses, strengthens and nourishes hair follicles and encourages growth
Lavender Essential Oil: Antibacterial and great for dandruff
