Summers are the time to
enjoy a range of hairstyle that are fun, flirty and easy to manage.
However, all the fun can be spoiled by dryness, which is one of the
major hair challenges in summers. Even newly moisturized hair can
turn dry and look unhealthy after spending some time in the hot sun.
Living in areas with dry summers does not help either.
A quick summer spritz recipe
All
the ingredients that you will need to make your very own summer
spritz are easily available in the next-door supermarket. If you have
already been taking care of your tresses with natural
hair products for dry hair, you will most
likely have them with you.
All you need is a spritz
bottle, some glycerin, a few drops of any essential oil and water.
Take a clean spritz bottle and pour three tablespoons of glycerin in
it. Add around 10 drops of any essential oil of your choice like
rosemary, peppermint, tea tree, or orange. Close the cap and shake
the bottle a little to emulsify the two ingredients. Next add water,
about half a cup, and shake it again with the cap on. This time you
will have to keep shaking it for a few minutes so that all the
components get mixed together properly.
Things to keep in mind
The key to making a good
spritz is keeping to the specified quantities of the ingredients. If
you think the water in your area is heavy with hard salts and mineral
content, it is best to use distilled water for the spritz. Hard water
will not allow the other components to mix well together, giving you
a summer spritz that doesn’t work at all.
The glycerin in the spritz
is a humectant. This means that it will attract available moisture
from the air around and deposit it to your hair. The spritz works
well when used in moderation. Too much of the spritz and you could
end up with hair that is flat without definition. You may want to
consider a different ingredient like rosewater or aloe vera juice,
instead of glycerin if you have your hair styled in braids,
twists-outs or knots.
