I always say that moisture is key in retaining length in the natural hair growth process.
During the day, before bed and in the morning, I always spray my hair with a moisturizer. Especially during the summer months when the sun is at its peak - moisture is necessary.
Instead of buying hair sprays, you can simply make your own depending on what your hair may need at the time. Here are a few tips and advice on D.I.Y Hair Spritz:
Spray bottles are easy to find. Try your local dollar store. Nothing too fancy is needed
If possible, always use distilled in your mix. This helps preserve your mix and helps without the introduction of hard water deposits.
You can combine different oils for specific purposes. If you have dry scalp, try using Tea Tree Oil
Empty and recreate your mix every couple of weeks. Bacteria can form if not done so.
Other ingredients can be added to your mix (Conditioners, honey, aloe vera juice, etc.)
Great things to add:
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Tea Tree Oil
Honey
Aloe Vera gel or juice
Conditioners
Green Tea
Vitamin E Oil
Jojoba Oil
How to:
Fill your spray bottle half way up with water, a few table spoons of aloe vera juice, then add your favorite ingredient - only about a table spoon is needed. Remember to shake before each use.
