The Spray That Saved My Hair.... Literally!!!

Most of your know me from my boutique Hazel Blues® but let me tell you when I say this spray saved my hair, it really saved my pride. I was attempting to bleach my pretty healthy hair, so I could hopefully achieve that beautiful charcoal gray. Yeap, that did not happen. What I was left with was parts of hair less than an inch on my scalp, sideburns that were burned off, that nasty stretchy hair when it gets wet. A total MESS! I came across this recipe and thought- yeah right. 

Ladies and gents, let me tell you IT REALLY WORKS!!! 👏

 The recipe is easy and literally a 5 year old could do it, with supervision though. 😏

WHAT YOU NEED:

• 4 sticks of fresh rosemary 
• a handful of whole cloves 
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 C of filtered water
• large jar to store liquid 
• small spray bottle
• strainer

HOW TO MAKE THE MIXTURE:

• Place all of these items in a small pot filled with filtered water. 
• Boil for 15 minutes, stir every 5 minutes. 
• Allow mixture to cool some and then strain water into a large jar.
• Transfer some of the mixture to a spray bottle.

You can store this mixture in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.  Since my home stays pretty cool, I left the spray bottle in my bathroom and the remaining mixture in a jar in the fridge.

HOW TO APPLY:

Shampoo and Condition your hair as usual.  Spray the mixture in your hair, concentrating on your scalp.  Massage the mixture into your scalp for a few minutes.  Do not rinse mixture out.  Repeat every time you wash your hair.

WHY IT WORKS:

Cloves contain high levels of antioxidants and nutrients that can add to the growth and strength of your hair. They can be used for protecting the scalp from dandruff. Cloves also contain anti-inflammatory agents which further help in hair thickening. 

Rosemary is known to improve blood circulation. It reduce hair fall and it can also promote hair growth due to its ability to keep the nerves healthy. It contains carnosic acid, which is known to have a healing effect in the case of nerve damage. A combination of anti-fungal and decongestant properties, rosemary is ideal in helping deal with dandruff and other scalp issues. Not only does it keep your scalp clear of fungus but will also eliminate excess oil.
