HOMEMADE DETANGLER SPRAY RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix the baking soda, citric acid and epsom salts together in a bowl until well combined.In a second bowl, mix the melted coconut oil and essential oils.
• Very slowly, add the wet ingredients into the dry bowl as you mix with your hands. You don’t want it to start fizzing yet. You want to make a crumbly, wet sand like consistency that just holds together.
• If it’s a little dry after adding the coconut oil mixture (as in it’s not quite wet enough to hold together), spray in a tiny amount of water and mix again. Add more water very slowly until it’s the right consistency. If you don’t have a spray bottle, you can use a teaspoon – just 1/2 a teaspoon at a time. You are aiming for the mixture to be able to mold into a shape and it’ll stick – just.
• If you want coloring, this is the time to add it. I recommend a pinch of beet root powder for pink or Brazilian purple clay powder for purple to keep it all natural.
• You could also use mica powder or a couple of drops of food coloring (more about this below). Multi-color bath bombs can be awesome for kids so you could also split the mixture in two here (or more) and add different colors. Use color sparingly so you don’t end up staining your bath.
• Pack your bath bomb molds. Add the mixture then pat it in so there aren’t any big air bubbles. Fill them right to the brim.
• If you want to make round bombs, put the two sides of the mold together. I like to have a different color on each side.
• Let it sit for half a minute and then twist each side of the mold in different directions to remove half of the mold. Ideally, keep the other half on it while it sets. If you need to reuse the mold (so can’t keep it on), put the half you took off first back on and then twist the other half off. It should then be easy to take off both parts of the mold.
• If it breaks apart, you can try again.
• If they have a flat bottom, put them on a baking tray. Otherwise, you need a soft surface if you can’t keep a round bomb in half of the mold.
• Leave for at least 12 hours. Remove any molds.
• Store in an airtight container.
