Easiest Hair Detangler Recipe

Posted on the 21 July 2014 by Thandi @sassymissy
If you have coarse 4c hair like me, then you'll agree that combing the fro can be a nightmare! I've definitely had my fair share of "runaway" moments, when a small comb is in sight. The reason I relaxed my hair in the first place was because I couldn't handle navigating my way through my fro. Well to cut a long story short, that ended up damaging my scalp hence I returned to natural. Yipiiiiii!Now I've realized that using a hair detangler really makes handling my hair a lot easier and less painful! I came up with a simple mix of everyday ingredients which don't only help detangle hair, but also give shine and keep it healthy!
You will need
1 cup of water
62.5ml of olive oil (1/4 of a cup)
2 table spoons of honey
Melt the honey in the microwave till it has a liquid consistency, if you need to. Then simply pour all the ingredients into any spray bottle of your choice! Shake'em all up and store in the fridge. It can be used for 2weeks! Spray bottles can be found in most "plastic utensil" shops. I got mine for R5 from the "household and plastic shop" for you guys in South Africa.
Few benefits of Olive oilEasiest hair detangler recipe
It contains antioxidants which help protect the scalp from infection
It softens hair and also adds shine
Blood circulation on the scalp is necessary for hair to grow. Olive oil improves blood circulation on the scalp.
It prevents the production of DTH hormones. DTH hormones cause the hair follicle shaft to narrow, resulting in hair loss. So olive oil helps retain hair. So next time you make a salad, save some of that olive oil for your hair!
Few benefits of honeyEasiest hair detangler recipe
Apart from being yummylicious of cause
It is also a natural antioxidant = maintains a healthy scalp.
Honey is an emollient. This means it is a natural softener- it conditions and smooths hair.
Honey is also a humectant. It attracts moisture and prevents moisture loss! The sugar content of honey also causes moisture retention.Hope this helps you stop running away from the comb! You can also use the spray daily, just to add moisture to your hair.Hope to get some feedback!
God bless.
