Two Simple Recipes For Moisturising Hair & Scalp Sprays

Natural hair needs moisture and, although water is the best moisturiser, these two sprays not only moisturise your hair, they also nourish it, restore your hair and scalp pH, control frizz and promote shine:

1. Apple Cider Vinegar Mist (pH 4-5): 

source
- 100ml Water 
- 1/2 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar (I use Wescobee)
- 1 Teaspoon Jojoba Oil (you can substitute with any light oil of choice)
- 1 Teaspoon Glycerine (optional)

use: spray on your scalp to alleviate dandruff and itching and on your hair to impart shine and control frizz


2. Aloe Vera Juice* Spritz (pH 4-5): 
- 100ml Water
- 2 Teaspoons Aloe Vera Juice (I use Kate's Organics)
- 1 Teaspoon Jojoba Oil (you can substitute with any light oil of choice)
- 1 Teaspoon Glycerine (optional)

use: spray on your scalp to help with scalp dryness and on your hair to nourish, heal and promote shine

  1. Clarification: by adding a leave-in conditioner such as Giovanni, does that change the purpose of the spray?
    I know you posted a recipient for a leave-in yesterday and can that be used as a spritz as well?

    1. I use my leave-in conditioner in a spray bottle so you can absolutely add conditioner to either of the above sprays. It would change the pH though and you wouldn't be able to use it on your scalp but these recipes are for those people who don't leave conditioner in their hair. I use these Sorays nowadays more than the leave-in because I use terresentials and cowash regularly enough.

    2. Ahhh... That makes perfect sense now! You'd mentioned that conditioner on the scalp can lead to build up and clogged pores so the light bulb has gone on! Thanks :)
