If your hair is prone to a bit of a frizz-fest, chances are you’re well acquainted with hair serums and oils. But, unlike other beauty goods, they’re definitely not something you need to spend bucketloads on to get results. In fact, you can make your own delicious-smelling, natural hair oil at home, using this DIY recipe from Jana Blankenship, Founder of the natural beauty brand, Captain Blakenship. She says, “just like face oil, this hair oil imparts moisture and glow. It instantly adds shine and prevents frizz and flyaways. This potent blend of hair-nourishing carrier oils and essential oils will bring life and softness to your mane.” And the best bit? If you keep out out of direct sunlight, it will keep for up to two years! Here she shares her DIY hair oil recipe with us.
