This natural recipe uses honey and tea tree oil for anti-bacterial properties and lavender with its delightful scent for a conditioning hair treatment.

1 Mixing the base oils
Pour the olive oil into a bottle or small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add the coconut oil and shake to mix.

2 Adding the scented oils
Add the tea tree and lavender oils to the bottle or jar and shake again to combine them thoroughly with the base oils. Be careful not to add more than the required number of drops – measure them separately if this helps.

3 Spooning in the honey
Before measuring out the teaspoons of honey, dip the spoon into hot water for a few seconds so that the honey will slide off it more easily. Add the honey to the mixture in the bottle or jar.

4 Storing and using
Pour the conditioner into a storage bottle with a secure cap or cork. This quantity is enough for about four applications. To use, shake the bottle, wet your hair, and massage conditioner into scalp. Wrap  hair in a towel for about 20 minutes before shampooing as normal.

Variations...
Rosemary is particularly good for hair shine and as a bonus it has a wonderful scent. Replace the lavender essential oil with rosemary essential oil in the above recipe, and shake well before applying.
