How to Use: DIY Leave-In Conditioner Spray
a. Prepare Your Hair: Start with freshly washed hair, towel-dried until it’s about 50% dry. This allows the spray to be absorbed effectively.
b. Shake Well: Before each use, shake the spray bottle to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed.
c. Apply the Spray: Hold the bottle about 15-20 centimeters (6-8 inches) away from your hair. Lightly spritz the spray evenly over your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid spraying directly on the roots.
d. Distribute Evenly: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute the spray through your hair, ensuring even coverage.
e. Style as Desired: Allow your hair to air-dry for a natural, smooth look. The spray will leave your hair with a sleek, wet-look shine and help control frizz throughout the day.
f. Store Properly: Keep the spray in a cool, dry place. For best results, use it within 6 months.
Enjoy your effortlessly smooth and shiny hair!
