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 🙂
- 2 tablespoon Green Tea Leaves
- Distilled Water
- 1 tablespoon Glycerin
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
- 25 drops Rosemary Essential Oil (EO)
- 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
I love the new look, the deep burgundy colour looks good. It doesn’t hurt the eyes & in fact I like this better than the old look.
As for this recipe, what does the rosemary eo do? How is it beneficial? And which brand did you use?
hey Poohkie…thanks 🙂 yeah I too like this better than the old one!!!
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!!!
I’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?
don’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.
Hi 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.
