Kimberlily's defrizz spray

[MeMyselfandI]

How does coconut oil mix with the water solution?

Does the mixture need to stay warm to keep it as a liquid?

[kimberlily]

You can use fractionated coconut oil.

I keep my mister in the fridge - so long as you don't use a solid oil like regular coconut oil, everything will stay liquid.

I checked the backup of my version of the recipe. IIt's 1 oz aloe and 1 tsp jojoba to make 4 oz of the spray. This should be the same proportions as in kimberlily's original, I think. I didn't record anything about the EOs or glycerine since I left them out. Sorry for the incomplete info.

Thanks physicschick I'll go edit the recipe. That's what happens when you go by memory

Gothik Lolita:
You can buy aloe vera gel in Reformhaus or in any other shop with natural food and cosmetics. I hope this help you.

Hi guys!
I have compiled a "repetoire" of my favorite recipes (copy and paste back in Aug, so I know for sure its the real thing), and of course I have Kimberlily's defrizz spray - one of my favorites - I use sandalwood EO, luuuv it!!!
There you go:

Leave in spray to defrizz

This makes 4oz (125ml) of spray...

2 tbsp aloe gel or juice
1 tsp jojoba oil
10 drops essential oil
spring water

Put aloe & jojoba into a measuring cup. Fill the rest of the way to the 4oz mark with spring water (you can also use tap water, but my water is hard so I use bottled stuff). Add essential oils of your choice. Pour into a spray bottle and use as often as you like. I use it as a detangler when I comb my hair after showering, and to freshen up my hair between washes It leaves my hair soft, shiny, and takes away a lot of frizz without leaving my hair greasy or feeling dirty.

ETA: I have recently started making this spritz with aloe gel instead of the aloe juice. It seems to mix better

Second edit: I have added 1 tsp of vegetable glycerin to the mix

I have one question, though... The glycerin used is the vegetable? This is very hard to find here in Brazil... Almost impossible...

You might try how it works out for you without the glycerin. Maybe your hair likes it without. My hair isn't always fond of glycerin.
Thanks for posting the archived recipe.

You're welcome!
Actually I don't use it, since whats avaliable here is mineral one, I think my hair wouldnt like it as well...
It already works fine!!!

[kimberlily]

The glycerin isn't really necessary. I just find that it works just a bit better on my hair if I add it Lots of people leave it out.
