Verdict- It's like Butter baby!!!!

So- I don't have any reg. salt at home but I was determined to try KiyaFizzle. I substituted Epsom Salt for reg. salt and voila. I got the softest hair and it detangled so gently and easily. this recipe is now a keeper and it will be doing it more often.

For those that don't know- KiyaFizzle- is adding 1 tsp (?) of salt to 8 oz of conditioner.

Oh and I'm a natural 3c/4a.

I do this, too...It leaves me with just the softest hair, but the miracle is in how it detangles.

What do you mean by leftovers, wonderstar? You mix the salt in the conditioner, and then use that as a treatment.....

She means if U mix the salt in the bottle, will it remain good.:grin:

:duh: Oooooh, thank you! :lol: I never even thought of that.

I don't know - since I always adulterate my conditioners, I mix it up at the moment. Sounds like carameldiva is having success with that, though.

Yea what if I mix an 8oz batch and only use 5 oz., can I use the remainder the following week?

I don't see why not..... *thinks* I almost always use 10-12 oz of con at a time :)look:) so I never have anything left over. :lachen: I can't see the salt being mixed in changing it MORE over time. :ohwell:

Sorry, I am just now seeing this. It works differently. The salt does give that extra moisture ooommph, but epsom salt has different properties and provides different benefits to the hair and scalp, but I have been giving my hair an occasional bath in epsom salt for about three years. I have only just now started adding it to conditioner and it has the same effect -- soft, fluffy hair with lots of body that requires no detangling at all. I am always able to run my hands right through it, which was phenomenal, particulary considering that my splits were pretty bad. They are all gone now (much shorter hair now, too) but I they were really holding me back.

It give you light, fluffy hair too with loads of body and bounce...

Girl, you are so right. I find that my hair is at its best when I do the KiyaFizzle...whether I wear my hair curly or straight...light, bouncy, fluffy hair!

I have to try it with the Epsom salt next time!
