Ah the spritz, the most vital product in my regimen. It’s no surprise since the base ingredient here is water, the best hydrator! It's really a love potion for my hair 💓
The size
I've switched to a very small 50ml bottle. Reason being it's easier to clean, but most of all it empties faster. Mixing liquids and oils together makes the mix prone to spoiling and foul smells. The smaller size lasts me for about a week or so, meaning it gets used up before it spoils.
The smaller size also means I get to mix up a variety of concoctions more frequently which is not only fun but ensures that I take advantage of the variety of nutrients from all the different products.
What's in it
The basics are:
Distilled water,
Glycerine and/or,
Almond oil.
..and the more frequent alternatives are:
Olive oil,
Rose water,
Lavender oil,
..other guest appearances include:
Conditioner,
Honey,
Avocado oil,
Peppermint oil,
Tea tree oil.
Proportions
I honestly just eyeball the ingredients, as I do with most of my concoctions. I don’t believe there’s a wrong or right ratio when to it comes to the spritz.
Keeping the spritz bottle clean
I usually clean it using an old toothbrush, Sunlight Dishwashing Liquid and warm water. That dishwashing soap bursts through oil and grime so effortlessly.
How I use it
I try to moisturise my hair twice a day, in the morning while getting ready for the day and in the afternoon before I go to bed. Honestly, I hardly ever go a day without it. Depending on the condition of my hair and how I'm feeling, I'll either spritz the hair and walk out the door or work the moisture into my hair and use a sealant afterwards.
In my opinion, when it comes to spritzes there is no one formula. So have fun with it and don’t be afraid to experiment.
