My new spritz/leave-in

Remember a few posts back, I was praising my modified Kimmaytube leave-in?  Do you also remember me telling you how much I dislike mixing hair products?  Well…after two weeks of making “new” leave-in, I was over it.  But I noticed that the consistency was very liquidy as my base is Bee Mine Deja’s Hair Milk which isn’t a very thick product when used alone, so combined with aloe vera juice and oils it was even more liquid-like.  That gave the the bright idea to mix it in a spray bottle, which is exactly what I did.  I poured what was left of my hair milk into a small spray bottle and poured about an equal amount of AVJ.  I squeezed in a bit of avocado and hemp oil along with a bit of glycerin.  The rest I filled with bottled water.  *shake shake shake*  I sprayed it onto my hair and I promise you my hair felt sooooo moisturized days later.  This is awesome!  I can store it in my refrigerator and use it daily as my moisturizer and after every wash as a leave-in.  AWESOME I tell you!   I wish I had some exact measurements for you, but what I can say is that there are about equal parts of both oils and slightly less glycerin.  You can kind’ve tell from the picture where the oil, water and leave-in/AVJ separate.  Some of you who are probably wondering about glycerin for the winter because I already explained why I am not using s-curl during the cold weather.  The difference is that this mixture contains a small amount of glycerin whereas S-curl is a glycerin based moisturizer (glycerin is listed as the second ingredient meaning its concentration is the 2nd highest).  In the post about shelving s-curl, I was not implying that you cannot use any products that contain glycerin, I meant that glycerin based moisturizers may not be the best option for you during the cold months as they are definitely not a good option for me.  Now that we have that cleared up, let me just say again….this leave-in spritz is awesome!  Simply awesome!
