Make Your Own Kid's Detangling Spray

I've got five kids and they've all got temperamental hair. One's got a 'fro, one's got straight thick hair, another curly lion's mane... so I'm always needing to wet their hair down before I comb it. When my daughter was young (she's got the nappiest hair of them all), I would stock spray detangler like it was a main food source for our family. Needless to say, that gets expensive!!

So I started mixing my own. Got a squirt bottle and did a 5:1 (5 part water, 1 part conditioner). Works fabulous. I've used other conditioners, but through trial and error, I figured out that the L'Oreal Kid's Conditioner works best, and it smells good.

Now watch them come out with a "concentrated detangling solution" that you mix with water. Don't act like you didn't see it here first!! And they best be sending me a case of conditioner, since I'm talking them up like that. And they best not discontinue this conditioner or I'm going to be shaving my kid's heads.
