Make Your Own Hair Detangler For Pennies

I have been needing to buy some hair detangler for my girls for quite some time. It’s one of those things that I kept forgetting to do when I was at the store. Since I kept forgetting, when it was bath time, I just made sure that I conditioned their ratty hair thoroughly in order to get through all those tangles when it was time to brush it. It helped, but not enough.

My 9 year old, who has epilepsy, has the the most incredibly wavy, frizzy hair. No one else in the family has this type of hair. We were told that the medication she is on could have made her hair this way. Add to it that she’s been sick for 5 days and laying around a lot made her hair especially frizzy tonight. This is what it looked like after we had already brushed it once this evening.

So, after realizing that she needed some serious help, I remembered about a recipe I had once seen for making your own hair detangler. Maybe you’ve seen some floating around the internet before? If not, here are the incredibly easy directions! It is so cheap! I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner!

Supplies:

1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of Conditioner
Empty Bottle – I used an old hairspray bottle
Water

Pour the conditioner into the empty bottle, fill with water and shake it up. That’s it, Easy Peasy! Don’t forget to label it so that you know what it is!

My hair spray bottle was 7 oz. If you are using a bigger or smaller one, you may want to adjust the amount of conditioner you use. What a great way to use up your free samples and hotel freebies. When we were done, we tried it out on her hair. She was so happy with how fast her hair was brushed out.

Now that looks a lot better! Don’t you think? I’m so excited that I’ll always have this spray on hand [now that I have realized how easy it is]. Not only will my 9 year old have an easier time of brushing her hair, maybe now I won’t have to bribe my 3 year old to brush hers. Sometimes I wonder why I make things so hard on myself!

Have you tried making your own detangler before? Were you happy with the results?

Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much. I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals. This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week. So grateful!

Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans. They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me! The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking. I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year. My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer. Thank you so much

This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children. I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home. I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day. I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it! Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well! So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table. Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
