MARSHMALLOW ROOT AND SLIPPERY ELM LEAVE IN (modified by pdthompson on BHM's MHM thread)
"Based on Love your tresses detangling spray with Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm (She
has a youtube video that shows how she makes it). I left out the Argan
oil because I wanted it to be more of the consistency of the KCKT). I
only use a fingertip amount of extra virgin olive oil mixed with castor
oil before applying my Flax seed gel after applying this leave in
because my hair is very fine but dense and APL which can get weighed
down and oily with a lot of product. I am still playing around with the
ingredients but so far I like it. I also leave it in the fridge. I
hope this is helpful."MARSHMALLOW ROOT - 3 TBSP
DISTILL WATER 3 CUPS
VITAMIN E OIL 20 DROPS
ALOE VERA Gel 1 TBSP
LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL - 15 DROPS
LEMONGRASS ESSENTIAL OIL - 15 DROPS
SLIPPERY ELM - 1 TBSP
1/3 DISTILL WATER
SPRAY BOTTLE
COMBINE MARSHMALLOW ROOT, WATER, SLIPPERY ELM, AND BOIL ON LOW TO MED HEAT FOR 15 MINUTES. ALLOW TO COOL AND STRAIN HERBS. FILL 1/3 OF SPRAY BOTTLE WITH DISTILLED WATER AND ADD STRAINED HERBS MIXTURE. ADD 1 TBSP OF ALOE VERA GEL, VITAMIN E OIL, ESSENTIAL OILS AND SHAKE.
Personally, I would use Eucalyptus and Jojoba oils as replacements. I would also have to find an aloe vera gel that does not have TEA in it.
