Tools and materials:
- Irish sea moss
- Marshmallow root
- Flax seeds
- Boiling hot water
- Heat-safe bowl
- Applicator bottle
- Nut milk bag
- Blender
- Lavender essential oil
- Rosemary essential oil
1. Boil water
Start by boiling 2 cups of water.
2. Add flaxseeds
Add 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds. Flaxseeds reduce dryness, help nourish the hair follicles, and make your hair softer and smoother.
3. Add sea moss
Next, add a tablespoon of sea moss. Sea moss is packed with protein, vitamins, and 92 essential minerals. It also has a slippery consistency that helps detangle and nourish the hair.
4. Add marshmallow root
Then, add a tablespoon of marshmallow root. Similar to the sea moss, marshmallow root also has a slippery consistency to make detangling easy.
Additionally, it soothes dry and itchy scalps and promotes hair growth.
5. Add water
Add a cup of the hot water, mix well, then allow the mixture to set for 30 minutes. After half an hour, the mixture should have thickened considerably.
6. Blend
Pour the mixture into the blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
7. Pour into nut milk bag
Place your nut milk bag into your heat-safe bowl and pour the mixture into the bag. Be careful not to spill any of it and scrape the sides of the blender so you’re getting all of the mixture.
8. Strain
Once the mixture is entirely in the bag, squeeze the bag to strain the mixture through the bag and into the heat-safe bowl. This will get messy, but that’s okay. Keep going until it’s all out.
9. Decant
Pour the mixture into an applicator bottle, ready for use.
10. Dilute
Add the remaining cup of water to the mixture.
11. Add essential oils
Add 10 drops of lavender oil and 10 drops of rosemary oil.
Lavender oil is a soothing and relaxing fragrance that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Rosemary oil discourages hair loss, promotes hair growth, and increases hair thickness.
12. Add cap and shake
A tip to keep it from spilling is to place your finger over the applicator tip to prevent the mixture from flying out.
DIY hair detangler and pre-poo recipe
That’s it! After a little while, it’ll thicken up and once it does, it’s ready to use. I recommend refrigerating between uses to keep this DIY pre-poo for curly hair as fresh as possible.
