Using all natural hair care is fabulous for your locks and doesn't have to be difficult. Homemade detangling spray is simple to make and easy to use. I have long, fine hair and unfortunately it gets tangled easily, this DIY recipe works perfect for it.
How to Use Homemade Hair Detangling Spray
This natural detangler spray can be used as a leave-in conditioner as well because it contains vegetable glycerin, a natural product for moisturizing hair. It can be used on curly hair, fine hair, dry hair or even oily hair.
When using DIY hair detanglers, one simple technique to prevent hair breakage of tangled hair is to comb damp hair from bottom up. Spray detangler on first then use this technique.
Some homemade hair detangler recipes may call for apple cider vinegar. Unfortunately, the smell makes me not want to use it as a hair detangler spray because that scent stays throughout the day, not pleasant. I prefer to use it in a pre-shampoo hair rinse so I can get rid of the smell during hair washing.
