My bf sent me this on FB.  A girl who has natural hair uses it.  Any comments on the ingredients?:

Hey! This is a recipe that I came up with that I think is a pretty good conditioner if you do not want to put harsh chemicals in your hair. This can also be good for those who have just gone natural. I can send you guys some during the summer if you do not have the patience to make it yourself. Just send me your address.

Uses:
To condition; treats dandruff/ dry scalp; stimulate the blood flow to the hair;

Ingredients:
• Water [1 tbsp]
• Extra Virgin Olive oil [3 tbsp]
• Lemon zest [1 dash]
• Peppermint leaves [1 dash] or Peppermint oil [2 tsp]
• Cerasee leaves[1 pinch]
• Eucalyptus oil [2 tsp]
• Castor oil [1 tsp]
• Strainer
• Sauce pan/ pot
• Wooden spoon

Directions:
• Throw all ingredients in the pot.
• Cook at medium heat while stirring.
• Then, when it begins to boil, turn down the stove to low heat and continue to stir.
• Take pot away from fire and strain mix into a heat-safe container.
• You may want to strain it 2 to 3 times so that the mixture does not have any remnants of peppermint and lemon zest.
• Allow the oil to cool before putting it in a plastic hair oil container.
