To make this spray, you will first need to make hibiscus infused oil.
First you will need to infuse the hibiscus in the almond oil. To do this, let your fresh flowers dry for at least a day or two before infusing.
Place the dry hibiscus flowers in a glass jar and cover it completely with almond oil.
Put the lid on the jar and store in a dark cupboard for two to four weeks, shaking every couple of days to keep everything submerged.
Strain the flowers with a strainer, cheesecloth or an unbleached coffee filter. The infused oil is now ready to make into a spray.
If you want to speed up the infusion process, slowly heat the oil in a slow cooker on low heat for 24 – 48 hours.

Add the hibiscus flowers and the water to a small saucepan and bring to the boil.
Simmer for around 5 minutes to make a hibiscus tea.
Remove from the heat and let cool, then strain the tea into a glass jar.
Add the essential oils, if using, to the jar with the tea.
Add the organic conditioner, glycerine, hibiscus infused oil to the jar and combine.
Pour into an amber glass spray bottle and shake to combine.
Shake before using.
Due to this spray no containing any preservatives, I prefer to make a small batch at a time.
Store in the fridge and use within about a month.

Hair Detangling Spray Notes

Essential Oils are optional but can add great benefits to the spray.
Any carrier oil works.
2 tsp of Vitamin E oil can be added to the spray, if desired.
I have dark coloured hair and it works great on it. I haven't used it on light/blonde hair. Due to using hibiscus tea, this spray may add a light red colour to light hair, though it should wash out. If you are worried, use water instead of hibiscus tea.
