Winter can be murder on hair: The combination of outdoor cold, indoor heat, and pervasive dryness can leave our tresses looking limp and lackluster. It’s time for Tress Rescue, a dandy formula from Annie that is all-natural, good for you and for the planet, and inexpensive to make. This healing conditioner will restore bounce and shine to your hair just in time for Spring.

INGREDIENTS
2 ounces aloe vera gel
1/2 teaspoon oil (avocado or jojoba are great)
2 ounces organic apple cider vinegar
1 ounce powdered milk

1. Combine ingredients in a bowl, stirring to blend.

2. Apply to just-washed damp hair. Allow to remain on hair for 10 to 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

3. Makes enough for one treatment. Discard leftovers.

The use of milk makes it not entirely cruelty-free..

It would be a better recipe if it was given in measurements - not ounces. I, for one, have no idea what 1 ounce of dried milk powder is. Is it 1 tsp? 1 Tbsp? And 2 ounces of liquid is puzzling as well. Please... use measurements, not weights. Thanks!

I tried the recipe for hair conditioner: Aloe gel, avocado or jojoba oil, powdered milk and organic apple cider vinegar. The vinegar caused the milk to clabber, rendering it useless. I omitted the vinegar on my second attempt with better results.
