Hair Detangling Spray

To make this detangling spray, I use distilled water, marshmallow root, conditioner and essential oils with optional other herbs. Any conditioner will work, but I prefer a natural one, especially for kids. Natural conditioner are more expensive, but with as little as you need for this recipe, one bottle lasts over a year for all three of my daughters.

The top natural brands that I’ve tried that smell good, work well and don’t have harmful ingredients are:

Shea Moisture Organic Restorative Conditioner (I love all of their products and we use this cream all the time too)
Max Green Alchemy Scalp Rescue Conditioner (more earthy/tea tree scent but organic and works really well)
EO Sulfate Free Coconut and Hibiscus Conditioner (least expensive and smells excellent)
Acure Organics Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner (light and fresh scent)

In the picture, I used a glass spray bottle I got during a Zulily sale, but I’ve also used this spray bottle from amazon and the sprayer actually works better for this.

Here’s what to do:
