Product Overview

Chagrin Valley Herbal Detangler Tea is a natural, organic herbal hair rinse made with carefully selected botanicals that help soften hair and ease tangles—without silicones or synthetic ingredients that can build up on the hair over time.

At the heart of this blend are plants naturally rich in mucilage — a unique, thick, gel-like compound that swells when it comes into contact with water. In plants, mucilage helps retain moisture during periods of stress, acting as a natural reservoir that supports survival and growth.

This same property is what gives this rinse its remarkable conditioning and detangling ability.

Mucilage-Rich Plants Matter

When brewed as a tea and used as a rinse, these botanicals create a rich hair tea that:

Provides a moisturizing treatment that coats the hair shaft to improve detangling, add shine, and reduce breakage.
Helps hold in moisture, leaving hair feeling soft, hydrated, and more flexible.
Add “slip,” making it easier to work through stubborn knots—especially in thick or curly hair—while reducing mechanical breakage.
Offers soothing properties that help calm a dry, itchy, or irritated scalp.
Helps reduce frizz and flyaways while enhancing the hair’s natural sheen with regular use.

The Herbs Behind the Blend

Marsh Mallow Root, Burdock Root, Flaxseed, and Hibiscus, rich in mucilage, help smooth the hair cuticle, reduce friction between strands, and make detangling easier while calming frizz and improving manageability.
Basil adds luster and shine to dull hair
Rosemary helps condition hair and scalp, increases manageability, and adds shine and luster

A simple, plant-based way to soften strands, ease tangles, and bring back smooth, manageable hair—naturally.

Soft slip. Fewer tangles. Naturally manageable.

One bag contains about 1 cup of tea — enough for 4 to 8 rinses. A reusable cotton muslin bag is included.

How To Use

Directions for a Simple Detangler Hair Tea Rinse:

Fill muslin bag with 3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup of herbs.
Pour 1 1/4 cups of boiling water over herbal bag.
Steep for at least 30 minutes covered.
Remove herbs from the tea and make sure it’s not too hot.
Use a Whole Head Rinse:
- As you slowly pour the tea over your wet head, massage the infusion into your hair and scalp.
- Keep a large bowl under your head to catch the liquid and reapply several times.
- Gently rinse it out with cool water or, for extra conditioning benefits, just leave it in and towel dry hair.
- Comb from the bottom up using a large-toothed comb.
Spray:
- Pour the tea into a spray bottle.
- Spray tea on freshly washed hair and comb through.
- Do not rinse out, just style as usual.

Always make and store herbal hair preparations in nonreactive containers. Refrigerate leftover hair tea for 7 -10 days in a clean airtight container. Do not refrigerate tea in an aluminum container.

Changes hair color

"This turned my blonde hair to orange/brown. Wish I would have know that before I purchased so many bags. Also I rec'd a dandruff blend which I didn't order. Company said it was mislabeled wrong. I don't think so, dandruff looks completely different from detangle blend. Why not reach out to your customer and explain, instead I have to email saying I rec'd wrong product. Warning should be on these teas. NOT for blonde hair. Great, now I have to use a chemical shampoo to turn my hair blonde again. I was trying to avoid harsh shampoos. Thanks"

Detangles and softens

"This is a nice blend for the hair. I wanted a more natural product to use and this does a great job of not only offering natural ingredients, but it softens and helps detangle my hair. It also adds some luster/shine."

— Bonita H. (4/5)

Works perfectly for my daughter's super curly hair

"Her curly hair is just another level of attentions, and we are so grateful we found this detangler. I brewed the tea and put into glass spraying bottle, using it as detangler just before brushing her hair. I found it more effective by leaving it for about 10 seconds after spray and then brush the hair. Works really perfect and she doesnt say ouwie anymore when we do her hair. We also use the Coconut Milk shampoo bar, and i think this also give a lot of contribution to easy to handle curly hair now...Thank you so much!!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Chagrin Valley Ingredients & Products USDA Certified Organic?

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve is a USDA Certified Organic Company

The most important consideration in any business is its customers. Today's world of misleading claims, false advertising, and simple deception, often leaves consumers trying to discover the truth about personal products and their ingredients.

We want our customers to know that we are committed to transparency in everything we do.
We want our customers to know that when we say "organic," we mean it.
We believe that in becoming a USDA Certified Organic company, our customers do not have to wonder if we really use certified organic ingredients or if our organic products are truly organic.
So we choose to be a certified organic company and abide by the strict standards required for organic certification.

Some of my favorite products are made with ingredients that just do not exist as certified organic. Why? At this time there are no standards created for ingredients specifically used in the personal care product industry. Organic certification of personal care products is based on the organic food standards set by the National Organic Program of the USDA.

But since we are a certified organic company, we are required to submit documentation that even our "non-organic ingredients" were produced without the use of toxic pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), sewage sludge, or irradiation.

Are Your Products and Ingredients Cruelty Free?

All of Chagrin Valley's natural soap, shampoo bars, and personal care products are certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny.

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve has been Leaping Bunny Certified since 2013.

The Leaping Bunny Program was developed in 1996, by The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), to identify and support companies that are doing their part to help eliminate the unnecessary use and mistreatment of animals to test cosmetic products and ingredients. The CCIC is made up of eight animal protection groups including the Humane Society of the U.S., as well as groups from Canada and Europe.

At Chagrin Valley we do not test our finished products on animals (other than human volunteers). But what about the raw materials, the ingredients we use?

Many products display labels claiming that their finished product is ‘not tested on animals’ but this does not guarantee that the product ingredients are actually free from animal testing.

The CCIC Standard is a pledge that a company makes to remove animal testing from all stages of product development. Our pledge to buy ingredients that are cruelty-free is integrated into the purchase agreement for all of our suppliers.

Personal care products displaying the “real” Leaping Bunny logo are certified ‘cruelty-free' using the internationally recognized Humane Cosmetics Standards. These rigorous standards require that no animal testing is performed or authorized for finished products or any of the ingredients in any stage of product development by the company, its laboratories or its suppliers after a fixed cut-off date. All Leaping Bunny companies are subject to independent audits and pledge commitments that are renewed on an annual basis.

This annual renewal is a key requirement that sets the Leaping Bunny Program apart from other cruelty-free certification programs. Companies that manufacture products, as well as their ingredient suppliers, must annually recommit to upholding their promise to not conduct animal testing on any finished products, ingredients, or formulations.

Why is this annual commitment renewal important? "Because product formulations change, suppliers come and go, and manufacturers develop innovative lines to meet consumer needs. But we know that compassionate consumers need to be confident that no animal testing is involved in the products they use."

At Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve . . .

we do NOT test our products on animals
we do NOT use ingredients tested on animals
we do NOT sell into markets that require animal testing

The Leaping Bunny Program provides
the best assurance to consumers
that they are making compassionate shopping choices
by purchasing Cruelty-Free skin care!

Ida's Shampooing Technique for Long Hair

Men and women with short hair seldom have hair adjustment problems to natural shampoo bars. However, folks with long hair may have to change their shampoo technique when switching from commercial liquid shampoo or synthetic detergent shampoo bars to natural bars.

We have discovered that people with long hair often feel the need to use too much shampoo. Also, it is more difficult to rinse shampoo out of all the little nooks and crannies in long hair. As a result, there are pockets of soap residue left in the hair that make hair feel tacky.

I have found that many times the proper technique makes all the difference.

Natural Shampoo Bar Technique for Long Hair I have long, fine hair. Below is my technique for using a shampoo bar.

thoroughly wet my hair
tie my long hair into a loose ponytail
wet the natural shampoo bar and rub the bar across only the top of my head in strokes from front to back until I have covered the entire scalp area (Rubbing any shampoo vigorously in all directions causes lots of tangles!)
massage my entire scalp (only the scalp) in a combing motion to work the lather through my hair
I do not rub the bar or work the lather on the length of my hair
take out my ponytail and rinse allowing the shampoo to drip down the length of my hair (I have found that this rinsing is enough to clean the length of my hair)
rinse, rinse, rinse for at LEAST one minute as I rub my fingers through my hair to be sure that all of the shampoo is rinsed away
squeeze gently on the length to remove excess water and cover with a towel while I dry off
I do not rub the towel over my wet hair because it causes nasty tangles
use a wide toothed comb and gently comb from the bottom up

Dry and style your hair as usual!
