All Natural Homemade Hairspray

This is simply the easiest homemade hair spray ever for an all natural, gentle hold.

Servings: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water (filtered)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (use more or less according to how strong you want the resulting spray to be.)
  • 1 teaspoon vodka
  • 3-5 drops essential oils (optional, for scent and slight preservative action)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat water in a small saucepan to boiling.
  2. Add sugar and stir to dissolve.
  3. Allow to cool. Add vodka and optional essential oils.
  4. Pour the solution into a spray bottle, using a funnel if desired.

Notes

  • 2 teaspoons of sugar works well, but feel free to adjust the amount according to how much hold you would like. Of course, if you add too much, you will end up with residue on your hair so try adding just 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
  • Please use filtered water to avoid the toxins that are in tap water.
  • This hairspray should last quite a long time due to the vodka, but do discard if it smells off. 
  • I know--you're wondering, "Won't I be a bug's best friend if I use this?" I was worried about that too, but from mine and others' experiences, that's not a problem at all. 
  •   Technically, if you are going to use the essential oils in this spray, you might want to add an essential oil emulsifier. However, because you are spraying this on your hair and not on your skin, it's not really a problem.
