I usually add the last drops of whatever leave-in conditioner I run out of and water to a spray bottle and add a few drops of castor oil, glycerin, rosemary oil, and food grade aloe vera gel. I just use this whenever I need to mist my hair a little or wet the front a little in order to smooth it back.

Now that it is summer, looking for more mixes.
For now, my leave in is : Water, infusium, Scurl and Suave.
I want to find something even better than this!

do you find a major difference (in the feeling of the hair maybe, results in moisture retention, cuticle sealing..... )when you use distilled water vs. tap or boiled water?

***Question... for those that mix oils with their leave-ins...Since oil acts as a sealant, wouldn't it block out the moisture if you mix it in your leave in and spray it on your hair? Just want to know because I've been making my own leave-in mixes as well, but always thought if I add oils to it, it won't moisturize my hair like it should? But on the other hair I always mix oils in my DC and my hair turns out great! Well just let me know, I've been wondering this for a while and would like to start adding some of my oils in my mix, if it doesn't block the moisture out. TIA!

I just buy and try oils.
I find quite a bit of goodies in the TJMAXX food section.
Right now it's on the top of my oil list.
It's light and seems to penetrate better instead of just sitting on top feeling oily.

I mix equal parts of water, glycerine, rosewater, plus a few drops of aloe Vera juice, jojoba oil and lemongrass e.o. for scent.

For me, it depends on the oils used. Like, I use EVCO as my moisturizer and Castor oil or Shea Butter as the sealant. EVCO has small enough molecules (from what I've been reading) so it penetrates the hair strands.

I think the oil helps spread the water in the mix. It doesn't block out the water at all (my hair soaks it up) but it does keep it from evaporating so quickly. Oil floats on top of water--only thick petrolatum or grease can block out water to that extent. But my mix is made of mostly water and Infusium 23 anyway, with only about 20% of Hot 6 Oil.
