How to Make a Natural DIY Dog Detangler Spray
Making a natural DIY dog detangler spray is simple, easy, and a better way to get out those tangles from your dog's fur. This recipe has only 4 ingredients and really helps to ease the detangling process between you and your furry best friend.
Equipment
- Glass spray bottle (2 oz)
- wooden spoon or whisk
- glass measuring cup
- small funnel
- teaspoon
- glass bowl
Ingredients
- 3 tsp fractionated coconut oil
- 2 oz distilled or boiled water
- 1/2 tsp castile soap
- 8 drops lavender essential oil
- 8 drops orange essential oil
Instructions
- If you are using boiled water, then you will want to do that first so it can start to cool right away. You can boil your 2-4 oz. of water on the stovetop or microwave the water in a glass measuring cup. In order for the boiled water to cool faster, place it in the fridge or freezer while measuring out the other ingredients.
- Measure out 3 teaspoons of fractionated coconut oil and add to the 2 oz of distilled water or boiled and cooled water and mix.
- Then add a 1/2 teaspoon of castile soap to the glass measuring cup and mix again. The mixture should go from water and oil separated to a white emulsified mixture. Next, add in your 16 drops of essential oils. I like using 8 drops of lavender and 8 drops of orange essential oil in the mix. Stir again.
- Then put the small funnel on the glass spray bottle. Pour the natural detangler dog spray into the funnel, pausing if the mixture needs a few seconds to go into the empty spray bottle. You may also need to slightly lift the funnel, depending on the neck of your glass bottle.
- Last, add the spray top to your glass spray bottle and this DIY hair detangler is ready to use on your furry pal. Store in a dry, cool area of your home. Just make sure to give it a good shake before each use!
