I'd heard about the wonders of Marshmallow Root as an ingredient that gives a whole lot of slip sometime last year, but I couldn't figure out where for the life of me to find it in the UK! Well, that was until I discovered iHerb and how inexpensive it can be if you need to do a bulk shop. Which I did, plus some!
Whilst there are some leave-in conditioners that do an absolutely amazing job at detangling my hair I've been long searching for a homemade alternative that is a bit lighter on my pockets! My savings goals this year permit very little product junkism or lavish haircare spending, so I was determined to make my own concoction and boy am I glad I did, it's pretty darn amazing!
I couldn't not share the recipe, so here it goes! [p.s I posted a video on this too!]

DeleteLove this Fiona. this could be a replacement to the Kinky curl knot today leavein conditioner. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sis it can, if you're hair likes liquid products then it should be fine. Some people prefer a creamy product such as the Knot today. I keep a bottle of this for my sisters hair because it prefers something creamy
