Every now and then, we all get a visit from the Bedhead Fairy. If you have children, you know that bedhead can strike any time, night or day, without even having to see a bed. The next time you’re trying to tame some wild tresses, reach for this DIY detangler!
To make things simple, each of these recipes starts with the same conditioning base. All you need to do is add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to this base to transform it into a custom detangling solution that will perfectly fit your needs.
Ingredients:
Bring the distilled water to a simmer without boiling. Combine the warm water and conditioner in the bottle, shaking to combine. Add the recommended essential oils to the detangling base, shaking once again to distribute.
Apply the detangler to hair as needed, using the bottle’s spray attachment and focusing on the ends rather than the scalp, gently combing to dispense evenly throughout your hair. You can either rinse out the detangler or leave it in for extra conditioning. Style your hair as usual and enjoy the pleasant aroma of essential oils throughout the day!
Here are five recipes of essential oils that you can add to the detangling base to perfectly complement your hair type:

Love this and it isn’t just for people! I tried this recipe on my Standard Poodle, using the suggested oils for dry hair. I added 5 drops of Lavender as well and used it as my grooming mist while I brushed her out. She turned out very soft and fluffy, her coat looked amazing, and as an added bonus she smells amazing thanks to the oils! Love this!
I’m going to try this one. Thanks for sharing. Hope it works.
I love this post! I have long, fine hair and it's always getting tangled so this isn't just for kids. I'm definitely trying this for myself and my girls, who also have long hair. No more nasty, chemical hair products for us!
