Spray Bottle Love

Here’s a tip that I remember from my first summer of being natural.

Buy a spray bottle that will fit in your purse and each day fill it with your favorite leave-in conditioner and a small amount of water. When you’re wearing a English: A spray bottle.style that tends to dry out through the day, use this mixture to bring your hair back to life.

When I heard this piece of advice, the only thing that I could think or see in my head was the image of the 1980s Curl Craze epidemic that had people spraying activator on their heads constantly, tearing up the furniture. However, a take-away from that dark moment in Black History is the fact that we had a grasp of the importance of moisture in the growth cycle of our hair.

Here are a few spray bottle recipes:

In a 3 oz Sprayer-

General Upkeep

• 2 oz. favorite leave-in conditioner
• 1oz water
• Shake and spray

Nussle in you hair Spray- (not for color treated hair)

• 1/2 tsp Shea butter
• 1/2 tsp cocoa butter
• 4 drops of essential oil (pick your favorite scent) *remove this step is hair is color treated
• 2 oz favorite liquid leave-in
• shake and spray
• Keep the mixture out of the sun to preserve the essential oil scent

Reset Button- good for re-styling the front on the go

• 2 oz warm water
• 1 oz favorite liquid leave in
• small ball of Shea butter
• Drop the small Shea butter ball in last and shake well while still warm

Hope these give you a few ideas. Try your own recipe. If you would like to use essential oils in your mixtures opt for a colored bottle to reduce sun exposure. If you can find a plastic amber-colored bottle or one that does not allow light to pass through in general. An aluminum bottle is suggested only if you have perfected your mixture in a see-through container. You want everything to blend well before you spray it to avoid clogs and uneven distribution.

As always ask questions when it stops making sense. Enjoy!
