DIY Natural Hair Detangler with Essential Oils
Ingredients and Supplies for your natural Hair Detangler
Marshmallow Root – no, this isn’t the same as marshmallows. Marshmallow Root is an herb and is used in a variety of ways to help support digestion, cough and cold, and inflammation.
It can also help promote thicker hair! According to Medicine.net, ” The mucilage in marshmallow root has a strengthening effect on the hair, making the strands appear thicker by binding with hair proteins. It can also be used as a hair detangler and conditioner.”
Where to buy Marshmallow Root? I usually purchase this Marshmallow Root from Amazon, although you can probably find it at your local health food store or anywhere natural herbs are sold.
- Marshmallow Root: Derived from the root of the marshmallow plant, Frontier Co-op Marshmallow Roots is a key ingredient in syrups, herbal teas, ointments, and many other marshmallow root herb recipes.
