Home Made Hair Detangling Spray

At about $6/bottle, detangler is Expensive!  And if you have really thick, curly, and/or long hair, it's kind of necessary if you want to comb your hair quickly without ripping out handfuls of it in the process.  So, I decided to figure out a way to make my own, and I was not disappointed by my Google search, the ease of this recipe, or the results!

Ingredients:
Hair conditioner (Any kind.  In fact, this is a great use for sample packets)
Water
A spray bottle


I reused a detangler spray bottle I had finished, and conditioner I already had.

The Process:
Squirt some conditioner into your spray bottle.
Fill the bottle the rest of the way with warm water.
Put on cap.  Shake for 30 seconds.
Spray onto damp hair after showering to easily comb hair.

That's it!

The various websites I read recommended between 1 teaspoon and 2 tablespoons per cup of water.  My hair is very long but very fine, and I found that a teaspoon in my 9 oz. spray bottle was enough to detangle and smooth without leaving my hair looking greasy.  Adjust the ratio of conditioner to water based on your hair type.

The Results:
I've been using this detangling spray for about a month now and I couldn't be happier!  It is So much cheaper than buying it at the store and it works just as well!  I have not tried spraying it on dry hair, since my personal experience with detangling sprays in the past is that spraying it on my hair when it's dry makes it look greasy.  But since everyone's hair is different, find out what works for you.
