I have been dying to make a hair spray at home because of many many reasons. First, it is free of chemicals and I can use anything I want which will improve the shine, impart a beautiful fragrance and help in its growth. And, I did give this a try. I am not really sure of the results but if not good, they wouldn’t turn out to be bad, that’s for sure. Green Tea is a versatile ingredient with amazing benefits for hair, skin and health. So, this can double up as a toner too 🙂
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Green Tea Leaves
- Distilled Water
- 1 tablespoon Glycerin
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
- 25 drops Rosemary Essential Oil (EO)
Method
- Prepare green tea and set it aside to cool down
- In a spray bottle (100ml), add glycerin and ACV
- Add the Rosemary EO
- Pour the green tea in spray bottle to fill it (I used the Body Shop Aqua Lily Body Mist bottle)
- Voila!!! Your hair spray is ready and you can use it as a toner too as all the ingredients in it are skin-friendly

As for this recipe, what does the rosemary eo do? How is it beneficial? And which brand did you use?

Rosemary helps in hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles. I go my EO’s from a wholesale retailer – http://mokshalifestyle.com/. Shall be putting up a post about them too!!!

November 26, 2012 at 9:42 AMI’m thinking of making it in the bottle. Right now I’ve used lemon juice, but I think it’s a good idea to add some green tea or herbal tea. But still make it really basic.
Question though- how does it endure in the fridge?

November 28, 2012 at 11:01 AMdon’t use lemon juice…it will go bad in 2-3 days even if kept in the fridge!!! and, its drying for hair. you can use green tea.

March 5, 2016 at 2:07 PMHi dear. Will it be OK if I do not rinse out the tea with water and leave it on my hair? I have oily hair and I just use the green tea no other ingredients.
