We don’t know about you, but we love a good DIY project, especially when it benefits our curly hair! Buying products for your curl care can get pricey and there are a lot of products on the market with chemicals or ingredients that just aren’t so great for our curls. We’ve put together the recipes for three awesome leave in treatments that are perfect for naturally curly girls. You can find most of these naturally healthful ingredients right in your kitchen, so get mixing and let us know what you think!
