Organix Repairing Awapuhi Ginger Hair Set



The Organix Repairing Awapuhi Ginger set is well worth having in my regimen.  I'm crazy about this line. On contact I could feel it working and doing it's thing. It even detangled (that alone made it a high quality product for me). By the time I was finished with the conditioner , my hair felt brand new.  I usually can't say that about any one line but I can say that about this one.  I can't wait to try the other products such as the Macadamia and the Morrocan line by Organix.

How To Make A Home Made Detangler







Homemade Hair Detangler

If you don't have detangler on hand, you can mix up some yourself. There are several options:
  • Dilute regular hair conditioner. Spritz a mixture of 2 tablespoons conditioner in 16 ounces of water onto damp hair.
  • Fill a spray bottle with the following herbal hair detangler mixture:
    8 ounces distilled water
    1 teaspoon aloe vera gel
    10-15 drops grapefruit seed extract
    1-2 drops glycerin
    1-2 drops essential oil (e.g., lavender, jojoba, chamomile)
  • Rinse hair with rainwater (usually acidic) or make your own acidifying rinse by adding 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to an empty 20-ounce water bottle. Fill the remainder of the bottle with water and use the mixture to rinse clean hair.
  • Rub tangled dry hair with a dryer sheet prior to combing it out
