Citrus-Lavender Hairspray

A fantastic recipe for making your own DIY hairspray using just a few natural ingredients....


You will need:
  • 1 whole orange (for dark hair) or lemon (for light hair), preferably organic
  • 2 cups distilled or filtered water
  • 2-3 tablespoons high proof vodka (or other clear grain alcohol)
  • 6-8 drops of lavender essential oil
Steps:
  1. Cut a whole orange or lemon into wedges and combine with 2 cups water in a small pot. Boil over medium high heat until liquid is reduced by half.
  2. Strain liquid through cheesecloth into a measuring cup. If you boiled too much liquid out add water until you have 1 cup. Allow citrus juice to cool.
  3. Combine alcohol and essential oils in a small bowl, swirl to mix, then add to the cup of citrus juice. (Feel free to experiment with your favorite essential oil or leave them out altogether.)
  4. Use a funnel to pour into a spray bottle with a fine mister and shake to combine ingredients. Shake before each use.
