Leave-in Conditioning Spray – Ethnic Hair

Leave-in Conditioning Spray

A great leave-in conditioning spray is the secret to keeping hair hydrated and moisturised everyday.

Recipe

Water Phase

• 86g Rose water
• 2g Glycerine
• 1g Essential oils: Geranium, Grapefruit

Oil Phase

• 5g Shea Butter
• 5g Jojoba Oil
• 2g Emulsifying Wax

Cool Down

• 1g Preservative Eco
• 1g Vitamin E

Method

1. Measure out your water phase ingredients: distilled or rose water & glycerine, and your oil phase ingredients: shea butter, jojoba oil & emulsifying wax
2. Over low heat (e.g. double boiler/ bain-marie or water bath), heat both phases in separate heatproof glasses
3. Once the oil phase has completely melted, pour into your water phase and whisk until combined
4. Allow mixture to cool slightly and use an immersion blender to mix your leave-in until it forms an emulsion
5. Add your preservative of choice, antioxidant & any fragrance. I use a natural preservative at 1% of my total conditioning spray but follow your respective guidelines
6. Finally whisk either by hand or using a blender to ensure that all the oils are evenly distributed
7. Store in a spray bottle or a traditional pump bottle – whichever works best for you
