My little girl has thick hair, and while it is now short (she has a sweet little bob) it still gets a bit haywire and needs to be tamed in the morning or quite honestly pretty much anytime we leave the house. So we need detangler daily, and recently there has been a lot of talk of super lice going around the U.S. so I felt like I need to put something in her hair to prevent lice. So I made my own combo- I was buying detangler at the Dollar Tree because really how much damage could such an innocent looking bottle do? Then I started researching essential oils and there million uses which led me to finding out WHY I shouldn’t be using all those chemicals and it finally dawned on me..We are layering on hundreds of chemicals on ourselves and our kids daily- and not just on the inside with food coloring and artificial flavors but also on the outside. Soaps, lotions, makeup, laundry soap, fabric softener, etc… I figured that anyway I could use oils to cut back on the amount of chemicals I would. So I have begun replacing everything I can in the house with natural ingredients and my beloved essential oils. This Detangler & Lice Spray not only makes brushing her wild hair easier but the combo of 3 wonderfully scented essential oils also deter those pesky bugs!
