    DIY LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER SPRAY RECIPE

    Dealing with dry, tangled hair is never fun, especially for anyone with a young daughter. Thankfully, there’s a simple, natural solution to both problems.

    In my all-natural hair care routine, I mentioned how much I love tallow balm for occasional deep nourishment for the ends of my hair. However, for daily use, I prefer something lighter.

    This DIY leave-in conditioner spray is made with coconut milk, which provides just the right amount of moisture without being too heavy—unlike coconut oil. I also like to add bergamot essential oil, which not only helps control frizz but also leaves a fresh, pleasant scent.

    Skip the toxins

    While there are plenty of hair conditioning and detangling options at the drugstore, many of them contain questionable ingredients. I personally don’t feel comfortable using those on myself or my family, so I prefer to make our hair care products at home instead.

    How to use it

    This DIY leave-in conditioner spray can be used on both wet and dry hair. I typically apply it to my hair when it’s wet and let it air dry. If I notice any frizz afterward, I’ll spritz a bit more on dry hair to help calm and smooth it.

    Personalize it

    There are plenty of other essential oils that are great for hair as well. Peppermint and rosemary are fantastic options to consider. Feel free to experiment and discover which oils work best for you and your hair!

    Which coconut milk?

    I find that canned coconut milk works best for this DIY recipe. It’s important to choose one without thickeners or other additives, like this option. Trader Joe’s also offers a great organic canned coconut milk at an affordable price.

    Preserve it

    Like any product made with water, this DIY leave-in conditioner spray needs a preservative to stay fresh at room temperature. I like to use this one in my products because it’s very natural while still being effective.

    If you prefer not to use a preservative, you can simply store your leave-in conditioner spray in the refrigerator. Just be aware that you’ll need to let it warm up a bit before spraying, as the coconut milk may solidify when chilled. When I’ve used this without a preservative, I leave the bottle on the bathroom counter while I take a shower. By the time I’m finished, it has warmed up enough to spray easily.
