DIY Slip Filled Detangler and Leave-in Conditioner
By · Updated September 26, 2014

I cannot think of one curly who is anti-all natural products or anti-slip. Nope, no one comes to mind! India from My Natural Sistas creates another leave-in conditioner that gives us all the feels! After noticing that some of her favorite detanglers (i.e. Kinky-Curly Knot Today and Soultanicals Knot Sauce“> contain common denominators (marshmallow root and slippery elm”>, she decided to create her own concoction that gave her slip, shine, and a slight hold. If you want to use different oils, you should learn more about the benefits of blended oils and how to mix them. Not sure which oils to mix? Well, there are various essential oils and carrier oils for every need.

  • 2 Tbsp slippery elm bark powder
  • rice strainer
