Hair detangler is new to us (we only have boys). Our one little guy has decided to grow his hair long. Combing his long curls have become increasingly difficult. Detangling sprays work great at removing tangles and keep his curls looking great, but they can be pricey. So of course we had to look into making our own. Can you imagine how shocked we were to find out all it is is water and a little hair conditioner. We found many recipes on the web. Most were just water and varying amounts of conditioner. We played around with them until we found a combination we liked.First we took an empty detangler spray bottle (we liked the fine mist it made). Then we mixed 1 part of our favorite conditioner with 9 parts warm water. We gave it a stir then poured it into our spray bottle. Shake well before using.
Now no more tears or fusses about combing hair. Kids are happy and so is mom!
How easy is that?! Awesome! Thanks for sharing. :o)
ReplyDeleteThat is just way easy! Had I known that, I would've made this a long time ago. My son has A LOT of hair, although it's not long, it's longer on top and he can so get knots. I will definitely be making and using this from now on! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletePerfect timing! I was just thinking this morning as I was combing my daughter's hair that I needed to look for a recipe for detangler, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this! My granddaughter has long curly hair and needs to have detangler to comb it. You've just helped me save a ton of money :)
ReplyDeleteGod Bless
oooh, snazzy! thx for sharing , my lil' gets dreads like it's nobody's business..but of course people think it IS their business and give me "looks" :)
ReplyDeleteDetanglers are a lifesaver with my 3 yr old! I'll have to try this out since our bottle is almost empty! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewow. had no idea! will try it out!
ReplyDeleteWow, I keep telling my daughter that I need to go buy some...isn't it crazy how we have cultured ourselves into thinking we have to buy things...and how we have forgotten/not been taught how many things we can really make/do with what we have! Thanks a bunch for sharing, I am so making this today!!! =)
ReplyDeletegreat idea. thank you for giving your instructions. i have 3 boys but 2 of them have fine, baby hair still, this would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I will have to keep this in mind when I am hopefully blessed with a girl someday. As of now I just have an 18 month old boy who has very little hair! :) Thanks for linking up. I hope you'll join me next week for another Tot Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I knew it was just watered down conditioner, but never thought to do it myself! LOL! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! Thanks for sharing. With two little girls we go through this stuff like crazy! Can't wait to try. You have such a great blog too, glad I found it!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm featuring a necklace tutorial and giveaway. I'd love it if you stopped by my blog!
Hi there, I found you from Fingerprints on the Fridge! Great blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love LOVE anything you can make yourself! You can bet I'll be making this! I usually buy the target detangler but this requires one less thing to buy at the store and I LOVE that! I posted a recipe for homemade laundry detergent here is a link for it! http://wwwthethriftygypsy.blogspot.com/2010/03/being-green.html
LOL ok, I should have looked around first! Just found your almost identical post to the laundry detergent!! :)

ReplyDeleteI wish I would have had this tip 25 years ago! What a GREAT idea to share! Thanks!
