Natural Hair Spray Recipe

Natural Hair Spray Recipe
 
A super-simple homemade hair spray that is all natural and works well!

Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups filtered water (boil if you can’t filter)
  • 2 Tablespoons white sugar (darker ones don’t really work here)
  • 1 tablespoon of high proof alcohol like vodka (I actually like spiced rum for the scent)
  • 10-15 drops of essential oil of choice
Instructions
  1. Boil water and dissolve sugar in it.
  2. Allow to cool to room temp and add alcohol and essential oils.
  3. Store in spray bottle and use as regular hair spray.
Notes
This recipe lasts indefinitely if kept in an air tight container. 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.

Update! Where have I been???

As some of you know we have been making a transition in our household from home school to private school. From no extra curricular activities to oh my goodness its practices and games every day! The kids are adjusting fine... mom on the other hand has been a bit lost in the transition! We are going to be changing a few thing here at WWA! We will no longer have the web site up. We will be direct selling through our facebook page only and email, telephone orders. We feel like this will allow us to speak with each individual and make sure the product is proper for that individual. We will not be reopening the store. We will however take pick up calls and have your order ready if you would like to pick it up here at my house! We will not be accepting any more consignment items due to not having the store area. We are planning on vending around and about again really soon! If you need a particular product please feel free to email or call us!

Happy Herbal Healing!
