Does anyone make their own moisturizers r moisturizer spray, and leave in's. If so what do u use to make them


Any water based moisturizer I make MUST have glycerin in it. I love that stuff! Some folks dilute a favorite conditioner with some other oil goodies for a spritz. Check out motowngirl.com for more ideas...

I don't make moisturizers YET. I came accross a fotki member who had mixed shea butter and hemp seed butter with vit. E oil, glycerin, essential oils etc. It looked so creamy like a cake icing. So far, none of the moisturizers I use (off the shelf) make the cut so I can't wait to make my own.
 
Oooh, yes, I do. I'm a mixtress, but these are two of my favorite 'recipes'. Mind - they should be tweaked for your personal hair needs - my hair needs moisture, all the time, isn't all that fond of oils, loves butters, and eats conditioner like it's candy.

Daily Misting Spray: This one has gone through a couple of product shifts, but the basics are: water, conditioner, humectant, anti-fungal, growth aid.
Right now, my mix is water, silk amino acids, honeyquat, tea tree oil, and Mega-Tex. I make it in a 4oz bottle, and usually use it up in a week or so.


Kiya Pudding: This is my twist creme/moisturizer/general hair softener that I use fo almost all my styling stuff. It's whipped pudding, adulterated with a load of glycerin, a load of Elasta QP Intense Fortifying Con, some red palm oil, a little shealoe butter........and I think that's it. I make a big ol tub of this, and it lasts me for a couple of months, or so.

Nappyrina's fotki has a FABULOUS host of recipes for stuff to make....
 
Yes, I do, a moisturising spray, rosewater, MSM, glycerine, a little Mega Tek (I have to give a big hand to Kiya for this one), VO5 strawberries and cream, with water. Spray on my hair often as possible.
