Kimberlily's leave-in spray
Oct 26^th, 2005 at 6:14pm

My hair really likes this...

1 tbsp jojoba oil
1 tbsp aloe juice (not the green gel, but the stuff at Whole Foods that you can drink... you can also use juice squeezed from the plant)
1/2 cup spring water
essential oils of your choice

Pour all ingredients into a spray bottle. Add essential oils for scent (though this mix has no odor to speak of, so the EO's aren't necessary if you don't want them). Shake well, and spritz on hair.

I use this after washing my hair as a detangler, as well as to freshen up my hair between washes. I also use it on my 3-year-old daughter's hair instead of storebought detangler. It keeps my hair from being frizzy, and takes some of the "poof" out too. It also defines my waves a bit, which is an added bonus!

It is actually called aloe gel, and I buy the Lily of the Desert brand. It is about $3 for 400ml. The one I get is 99% pure, and has almost no additives. It needs refrigeration after you open it. Hope that helps!

I'll see if I can find it this weekend. I've been trying to find something to help tame some of my halo/frizzies - this just might do the trick. I've used the aloe gel for a stronger hold, but don't always need that much control. A light spray is all I think I really need.

I didn't change anything else about my routine. I think the photos I posted probably show how well it is working for me I hope it works for you too!
