I love my results from my leave in/moisturizing/styling spray. My hair is moisturized, shiny, soft. The hold is like a wet twistout instead of from semi stretched dry hair. I also used this as a daily moisturizing spray when I fluff my hair in the mornings. This mix is definite keeper.

Moisturizing leave in recipe
I made a moisturizing spray leave in last night. I wanted something all natural & really moisturizing for hair. I made a herbal infusion of marshmallow root, horsetail & nettle. I added some aloe vera gel, a touch of jojoba oil & Castor oil, once I shook it vigorously it emulsified(temporarily). This was placed in my spray bottle.
I heavily misted each section before I placed in my twists & sealed with Castor oil. It seemed my hair loved. I know this is weird but my hair seemed happy!
PS. This leave-in left my twistout very well defined & moisturized!

Nettle Tea for my Hair
So I am brewing nettle & horsetail tea for a hair rinse, 2 cups worth. It reportedly stimulates hair growth, thickens and softens hair and darkens grey hair after continued use. There are several favorable mentions on the internet, on the LHCF and in several natural beauty books I own. I plan to use it on my upcoming wash day and continue 2-3 x a week. I am planning to get my french braids again.
I forgot to use it on wash day, so I refrigerated it & poured it on my scalp and hair while braided up the next day.
Nettle contains a great number of amino acids, glucidic substances, amines, sterols, cetones, ketones as methyl heptenone, acetophenone, volatile oil, fat substances, sitosterols, formic and acetic acid, panthotenic acid, folic acid, chlorophyl, protoporphyrine and coproporphynine. It also contains vitamins C, B2 and K, beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, iron and Si salts, & phosphates. Because of these wonderful compounds, the plant also has anti-anaemic, anti-diabetic, hemostatic and diuretic properties. http://www.liveandfeel.com/medicinalplants/nettle.html
