How to Create an All-Natural Hair Spray

The hair spray that your purchase from the store is not necessarily the most environmentally friendly. Hair spray contains an assortment of ingredients that can cause increased damage to your hair, along with the environment. You can create an all-natural hair spray that will be much healthier for your hair and your surroundings.

You Will Need

• 2 lemons


• 1 orange


• 4 cups of water

1. Slice your lemons down the center.


2. Peel your orange and chop the orange into small chunks.


3. Place the sliced lemons into a medium sauce pan.


4. Add the orange chunks into the sauce pan with the sliced lemons.


5. Fill the sauce pan with just enough water to cover the top of the lemons and oranges.


6. Set the stove to medium and bring the water to a simmer.


7. Lower the flame and continue to let the fruit simmer in the saucepan. Allow the fruit to simmer for about an hour.


8. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the contents into a bowl.


9. Grab a spray bottle and pour the liquid from the bowl into the spray bottle. Refrigerate prior to using for best results.


10. Add one tablespoon of rubbing alcohol to the mixture to make it last longer. Overall, the all-natural hair spray will last for about two weeks.


11. Continue this process each week to create your very own natural hair spray.


12. Pair your all-natural hair spray with an all-natural hair gel.


13. Create an all natural gel for the hair by combining a teaspoon of gelatin with a cup of water. Allow the gelatin to sit in the refrigerator prior to using it. The gel will last about one week along with the hair spray.
