DIY Leave-In Conditioner

DIY Leave-In Conditioner | A Sip of Bliss
Happy Leap Day! Is anyone doing anything exciting with their bonus day? I was out of town visiting family in sunny San Diego all last week, so I am playing catch up today. I am pretty busy with work, but the blog hasn’t had any love in awhile so I am stopping in to share a really quick and easy DIY for leave-in conditioner.

I used to have a HUGE collection of beauty products taking over my bathroom, but ever since I started simplifying my beauty routine and using more natural products I have been so much happier! My bathroom stays organized and I save so much money! I have super thick hair so a leave-in conditioner is a must for me. This version uses your regular old conditioner, almond oil and water. The mixture gets lightly sprayed onto your hair to detangle it and make it shiny and manageable (without making it greasy). And these are ingredients I always have on hand so it is super easy to whip up a batch whenever I run out. I hope you enjoy it!

Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients in your fine mist spray bottle.
  2. Shake before using, as it will separate between uses.
  3. Lightly mist onto damp hair and comb through.

    I swim a lot which leaves my hair dry and in terrible condition, this sounds perfect!

      Swimming will do that! You should definitely try this. The almond oil will really help with the dryness.

    What a lovely and simple idea! Never thought of adding in a little bit of oil – I put facial oil on the ends of my hair sometimes when it is dry so this is a great idea!

    I wish it was a real extra day yesterday! It was like adding insult to injury that it was a Monday too. This seems really easy to make, and with bleached out hair, is definitely something I will want to try.

      That’s so true. You can feel like you have an extra day, but it doesn’t slow life down and give you more time. I hope you try the conditioner!

    I was just thinking about how I needed a detangler but didn’t want to buy one, so this is perfect timing. Thanks!

    Could you possibly use olive oil?

      Yes, olive oil would work!

    Thanks for the helpful instructions! I’ve been using The Honest Company’s Conditioning Detangler – it makes my hair so soft… I love it. But the bottle was getting low so I thought I’d experiment with a DIY leave-in. I just mixed up your concoction this morning and can’t wait to try it out after my next shower! I used distilled water (because I’ve heard it’s good for your hair and I had some on hand, so why not?), olive oil (because my son has a tree nut allergy and I don’t want to be afraid to use this around him) and Honest Co.’s contidioner. I’m excited to see how this works! Yay!

    Could you use vegetable oil instead?

      I’ve never tried vegetable oil, I know olive oil works though!
