How to Make Detangling Hair Spritz With Rosemary & Hibiscus Tea
I’m going to show you a fantastic DIY straight out of the kitchen - how to make a hair spritz that detangles and softens natural hair. This natural hair spritz recipe nourishes hair and is perfect to use as part of a pre-poo routine. I use it on my daughter the day before wash day.
Let's get started with this natural hair spritz recipe.
Tools and materials:
- Dried rosemary
- Hibiscus/rosehip tea
- Rosemary essential oil
- Bowl
- Kitchen utensils
- Spray bottle
- Pot
- Wide-tooth comb
- Hair ties
- Prepoo moisturizer
- Measuring cup or jug
- Tea towel
1. Add all the ingredients
Let’s start making the hair spritz recipe. Add 350 ml (11.83 oz) of water to a clean pot. Let the water come to a boil before adding the herbs.
Once the water is boiling, add;
- 2 tablespoons of dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons of hibiscus/rosehip tea (I bought my from my local supermarket)
Boil the contents for around 15 minutes on high heat.
2. Strain the mixture
Now, go ahead and strain the contents. Make sure it’s cooled down a little before. Use a tea towel or something similar to hold the weight of the mixture. It would be best to get someone to help you to make this process easier.
Squeeze out the rest of the contents.
After boiling, you’ll probably have around 300ml (10.14 oz) to work with.
Here’s a little peek at that gorgeous color! Let the DIY hair spritz cool down completely before pouring it into your spray bottle.
3. Add essential oils and pour
Now, go ahead and add around 3 drops of rosemary essential oil. Stir the mixture, so everything combines. Next, pour your DIY hair spritz into a spray bottle.
4. How to use the DIY hair spritz
My beautiful daughter is my model for this step! Start by separating the hair using a wide-toothed comb. It’s way better to work in sections so that the product can work properly.
Now, generously spray the DIY hair spritz on one section, as shown.
Once the product is sprayed on the section of hair, start detangling the ends with your fingers.
Then, finish the detangling process with a comb once you’ve gotten rid of any stubborn knots.
Can you see the difference between the two sections? The detangled hair with the DIY hair spritz is super hydrated. This wonderful concoction makes the hair soft and easy to work with when detangling hair. Oh, and did I mention how lovely it smells?
Once you’re done detangling your hair with the hair spritz, it’s time for the pre-poo. Here, I’m using another DIY product: my tea-infused coconut oil moisturizer.
Add the pre-poo mixture section by section, making sure the oil spreads through thoroughly. You can be very generous with this. Then, twist small sections together.
When done, tie your twisted hair so that the pre-poo can sink in. Today, my daughter is going outside to play in the sun, which will also be great for helping the products absorb. Then, tomorrow is wash day.

I love homemade hair care products. My granddaughters are biracial and their hair gets extremely tangled and dry at times. I also get horrible tangles in my hair and very dry from dying it. This looks like a fun project to make and try out with them. I know they will love making it and experimenting with it. Thank you for this helpful idea.
