A simple DIY hairspray using natural ingredients .So easy to make and works great , its also less expensive and much healthier for hair .Switching to homemade hair spray is a much safer option, especially if you are working on getting toxins out of your home.
Conventional hairspray is full of chemicals that you shouldn’t breathe in and most certainly not spray on your head. Hair sprays can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, skin, and lungs with inhaled.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup water
- 1.5 tablespoons white sugar .
- 1 tablespoon high proof alcohol (I have used Vodka)
- Glass bottle with atomizer
- Optional essential oil ( few drops )
*Adjust the sugar up or down for more or less stiffness/hold (more sugar=stronger hold) but don’t add too much or hair will feel sticky. Brown sugar, coconut sugar, honey, and other natural sugars will not work in this recipe.
*If you don't want to use alcohol ,you can leave it out and just use a sugar .It just will not last as long . The hard proof alcohol and essential oils act as a natural preservative.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat and then add in the sugar.
- Stir the sugar water until all the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool.
- Once cooled, add in the alcohol and essential oils.
- Transfer to a glass spray bottle for storage.
