Make your own detangling hair spray at home with our super easy beauty DIY.

Stubborn knots and tangles often stand in the way of smooth, healthy-looking hair. Argan oil will help to ease tricky tangles and leave hair feeling soft and nourished.

Research shows that ylang ylang has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties – ideal for boosting scalp health. The antiseptic qualities of lavender and rosemary will help to keep your scalp flake-free.

This detangling hair spray is great for keeping handy in your bathroom cupboard. It also makes an excellent gift for a loved one. Take a look at our other beauty DIYs – including bath milk and a nail cuticle oil – to make your very own at-home pamper kit.
