Conditioner/Water mix spray bottle?

I heard someone suggest using a mixture of water and conditioner in a spray bottle, think that would help weigh down hair well and make it look better on bad hair days?
Also,
When I tie my hair back it makes a 2.5 inch ponytail now. I think I'll try wearing it in public this weekend and see how it goes. :)
Use it!!

Spraying water on my hair from time to time as well as spraying on a water/condition mix has worked well for me-I'd suggest buying 2 of those spray bottles for hair and try it (1/3 conditioner to 2/3 water)!
Effects?

What effects does it have, does it relieve dry/frizzy/out-of-control hair?
Don't use a hair brush

Brushing with a hair brush tends to make the hair frizzy. All this water spray does is help your hair naturally form locks-the conditioner (it's only a little) will help give the hair more weight. This spray gives it more control than if you hadn't used it and without drying out the hair, whereas I've found that gel dryes out the hair but gives a lot of control. After you spray on anything for hair locks, don't brush out the hair when it's dry.
Because you're really not putting much into your hair that won't evaporate, you don't have to wash this out with shampoo as often as gel-especially if you only use water. Your natural hair oil gives it a lot of control if you let the oil build up for a couple days.

I used to use plain water out of a spray bottle and spray it on my hair all day long when I worked at six flags where it was hot and humid... the water from the spray bottle really made it frizzy.

After spraying on water, let it air dry without any brushing/combing (other than with your fingers) and when it's dry don't brush/comb out the hair locks that have formed. For a softer more brushed look, I like to brush it first and then spray on water or a water/conditioner mix (you won't have as much control this way than if you don't brush it). The best thing to do to avoid frizziness is not to use a hair brush or a comb-use your fingers.
Hope this helps!

Yeah, that would work . . . but you might have better results with something with a lot of cyclomethicone (or some sort of -cone stuff), like the spray "Shine" products like Citrishine or some other companies put out. Easy does it with this stuff, a little goes a long way . . . too much will make your hair look greasy.

sweet, my hair is around the same length now too. when you put it in a ponytail it probably looks real short and bunchy, right? Well, i like to take some gel and just slick the ponytail to make it look longer.
