Few drops of rosemary infused olive oil
Few drops of coconut oil
Hibiscus flower |
I use the contents of my homemade spray
bottle when wearing braided dos with or without extensions, for wetting my hair if getting a rollerset on dry hair or damp washed hair, as a cheat co-wash when I need to but don’t feel like co-washing or
when I feel that my hair needs extra moisture. There are only two standard
ingredients that remain the same at all times in my spray bottle; distilled
water (bottled/filtered water or boiled
water that has been cooled down)
and natural oils be they carrier or essential oils these two ingredients are
constant the rest of the ingredients that go into the bottle are determined by
what I have in the house at the time of mixing. This is how I determine what
else goes into my spray bottle; if it comes in a liquid form, can be liquidized,
doesn’t need to be rinsed out and has
been proven to be good for hair then it goes in I just play around with the
quantities to get an even mix. That being said if you have never had hibiscus
tea/juice or pineapple mint juice then you are missing out big time! Try making
them sometime. Have a lovely day people!
My super dented spray bottle:( Don't know what I was thinking adding hot water straight into it without cooling it first! |
Is it bad that that reminds me of milkshake and makes me want to drink it?

Hahahaha you cracked me up lol! It sure does look like strawberry milkshake! I actually made a lot more minus the oils and leave in condish of course and drank it just added sugar and chilled in the fridge for a few hours.
DeleteThat really looks yummy!! I can't keep that in my house cos my daughter will surely throw a tantrum each time she sees it!! Oh, and I thought I was the only one who made the mistake of pouring hot water into a spray bottle...lol!!
ReplyDeleteI tell you I thought it could withstand the heat and boy was I wrong!
