I have been experimenting with natural ingredients to build a moisturizer that WORKS. I wanted a product that left my hair moist and not just for a hot second. I wanted it seal in the moisture and offer shine to my locs, my scalp and my loose natural roots (a few inches). I apply this moisturizing spray to my entire locs and squeeze it into my loc. for my scalp (when retwist not fresh) I spray liberally to my scalp and give my self a soothing scalp massage. My hair and locs love it. This formula would work wonders for loose natural hair as well (it’s not just for locs).
Below is what I use in my spray and I love it. In a 8oz bottle i add the following:
- 1/2 bottle rose water
- Mixture of your favorite base oils or you can select one: (Hempseed oil, Castor oil. Jojoba Oil)
- 3-4 drops of essential oils:
- Tea tree
- Rosemary
- Lemongrass
THAT’S IT!!!! Shake well and give your hair a treat.
What quantity of oil do you put into the mixture?
the rational is 2 parts water, 2 parts carrier oils to 1 part essential oil blend
I don’t like the smell of rosewater. Is it possible to use orange blossom water with the same effect? Or is there a chemical property that rosewater have orange blossom does not?
