Do it your self HAIRSPRAY!!! THIS WORKS WONDERFUL!!!

 Hey girls who are hairspray junkies, like myself must try this!!! I love this!!! It is flexible so it wont be rock solid keep in mind... You can add any essential oil and seriously I am a hair stylist and this is my favorite!! Try it!!! I do the orange instead of the lemon because I do color my hair!

Citrus-Lavender Hairspray

  • 1 orange or lemon
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol or clear grain alcohol (vodka, gin, etc.)
  • 6-8 drops of lavender essential oil

A few things to note…

This is not a maximum hold hairspray that will freeze a prom up-do or 80′s bangs. I can say with confidence that it’s a flexible hold formula. I was a loyal user of firm hold hairspray for years before trying this formula… now I PREFER this to my old sprays.
This formula has been tested on my brunette hair. Hairspray made with an orange has a bit of a darker tint, so if your hair is light-colored you may want to use a lemon.
Grab the orange or lemon sitting in your fruit bowl and give this hairspray a whirl.
