According to Reader's Digest Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things hair conditioner has been around for over 50 years. It is said to have been discovered by Swiss chemists while doing research to aid burn victims. Then in the 1950s it was discovered that some of the same compounds used as fabric softeners also softened the hair.
Regardless of how we were blessed with hair conditioner, I hope you will find some good uses for yours.
