Well I don't know if this is a diy product... But I guess it works like one I have suffered from bad dandruff. Been using head and shoulders for a year or two now and I stopped recently after finding out that it can make dandruff worse. So I decided to create my own natural remedy. I also have dry hair, so I take a good amount of olive oil (enough for my hair and scalp) put it in a plastic bowl and put ONLY 5 drops of tea tree. I put it all over my hair and massage it in my scalp. Then I put a towel on top of my head and sleep on it. The next morning I wash it off with my fav shampoo- and voila! Soft, smooth and minty smelling hair.
I am a DIY freak at heart and make about 90% of the products I use on my hair. My two favorites are my Leave-in Conditioner (remix) and my whipped butter which doubles as a body butter!
It is a never ending exciting adventure!

As far as DIY products: Face cleanser :Natural, ingredients from my pantry.
Dry skin: Light cream (1/2 tsp) +gram flour (Besan) 1 tsp+ turmeric powder 1/4 tsp. use as face wash at night as a bedtime routine. No soap as turmeric turns soap red!!
Oily Skin: skip the cream. rest is same. can use with aloe gel to get the gooey soapy feel.
(its important to keep this powder dry in an airtight container for multiple uses)
Hair: Just tried this and it feels awesome! gel from 2 aloe leaves from my plant +distilled water and blend. Add 1 tbsp virgin olive oil and apply as a pre poo. So--soft hair!!
My hair ADORES coconut oil! In fact I think it may be my head's favorite food :thumright:
I tried Trader Joe's coconut oil in my hair as a pre-cowash treatment yesterday, and I'm loving how my hair looks and feels today! So soft and silky, and you can really see my 3a/b pattern: varying in size and tightness, from sidewalk-chalk to Sharpie-sized curls all over my head!

I have very very sensitive skin and break out easily (when I do break out the pimples leave scars that take forever to fade). I swear by this face mask, it keeps my skin hydrated but clear and fades scars:
1 heaped tsp of plain unsweetened yogurt
1 flat tsp of uncooked oatmeal (crumbled a little more with your fingers)
Mix both ingredients and apply it on your face. Keep it on for 20-30 mins and wash off with warm water.
to be honest, I don't like DIY products anymore, however, I have the only one that I can use forever. It's a coffee scrub for the body. You can also use it for your face, but in that case is your skin is NOT sensitive.
the recipe is simple: ground coffee (for face fine meal would be better ) + fav oil (I use olive) + fav essential oil for more scent (optional)
also, you can add some sea salt, sugar, vitamins (a or e), even cream. it's up to you

Jojoba oil as a facial cleanser. Argan oil as a face moisturizer. Coconut oil as a body moisturizer, hair pre-poo treatment, pretty much use it head to toe. Sugar and olive oil as a body scrub. Baking soda and a little water as a face scrub. Vinegar rinses, herbal rinses, and honey rinses for my hair.
I make a diy hair moisturizing refresher spray that i spritz in when I go to bed at night and when I get up in the morning. I also use it periodically throughout the day as needed for frizzy flair ups (live in FL)
I use it in a flairosol fine mist spray bottle. Found this type of bottle sprays a super fine mist that doesnt disturb the curl. I bought mine off of Amazon.
Recipe: 2 tbsp of leave in 1 tsp of glycerin(only in low dew points during winter) 4 oz of rosewater 1/4 tsp of grapeseed oil 1/4 tsp avocado oil Shake shake shake to mix everything then I fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water (4 to 6 oz) the shake again.
Its smells amazing cause of the rosewater and gives my hair some added moisture.

Not my idea, but I have tried this many times. Personally, I leave out the olive oil and add extra coconut oil. Be sure the water isn't too warm when you rinse this out, cooked egg is hard to get out of your hair, trust me, lol!
Combine:
1 tsp. honey
2 tsp. olive oil
1 -2 tsp. coconut oil
1 large egg
Massage into dry hair with your fingertips ( boosts circulation to the scalp )
Let it soak in nourishing your hair for at least 10 to 15 minutes… longer the better
Shampoo your hair as you normally would and finish with your favorite conditioner
Type: 2c Density: medium Porosity: high Thickness: fine
I really like the idea of diy products, but I'm still trying to work mine out. The only recipe I have is my henna treatment which is henna+amla in the usual proportion (25g amla to 100g henna). Then I divide that into 5 portions, and for each portion I add 1T of brahmi+bringhraj(3:1 mix) powder. I started this for my roots treatment and to extend the henna, and realized it gave me some great conditioning when I do my henna treatment.
I'm working on a tea spray that I can use in the morning as scalp treatment and a pre-poo detangler so I can stop dry combing before showering. But still testing out tea, so this is in the beginning stages. I also want to work out a flax seed gel recipe. I would love a diy leave-in conditioner, but I don't know where to begin for this.

I came across this DIY hair treatment. It interests me because I love avocados and always have them in the fridge. Mayonnaise is not my favorite spread to eat but it is in my fridge, too. I know many people like it as a deep treatment.
Avocado Deep Conditioner
Ingredients 1 small jar of mayonnaise 1/2 avocado
Directions Peel avocado and remove pit. Mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl with your hands until it's a consistent green color. Smooth into hair being careful to work it to the ends. Use shower cap or plastic wrap to seal body heat in. Leave on hair for 20 minutes. For deeper conditioning wrap a hot, damp towel around your head over the plastic, or use a hair dryer set to a low to medium heat setting.
