Here’s how to make your own hair detangler so that you can comb through hair with ease.

Washing children’s hair and trying to comb through it afterwards can tie you up in knots and almost always end in tears – and that’s not to mention how the poor kid feels.  Shop-bought detanglers can be expensive, so why not make your own? It’s easy, cheap as chips and takes just moments.

Follow these simple instructions and watch the video tutorial to find out how to make your own homemade detangler and wave knots goodbye!

You will need:

• 2 tbsp (30ml) conditioner
• 1 cup (250ml) water
• small spray bottle
