5 DIY Hair Moisturizing Sprays

To get moisturized hair, you really don’t have to spend all your money on those pricey products that claim to give your hair “the business”. Whenever you need that refresher, look no further than your kitchen and refrigerator.

Buying just ingredients rather than whole products can last you much longer versus buying moisturizing products that come in small amounts, most of the time.

Moisture is key when it comes to retaining length, avoiding breakage or shedding, and keeping the hair soft so here are a few DIY Moisturizing sprays you can try:

1. Plain aloe vera juice
Fill a spray bottle up with COLD organic aloe vera juice from your refrigerator, and use it as a daily refresher/moisturizer for your hair. Aloe vera juice* contains proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that feed the hair strands making them strong and hydrated.

Not to mention it can be used as a great detangler as well. You can find organic aloe vera juice* at your supermarkets or Wal-mart, just make sure that is it 100% organic. When this hits your scalp, your scalp will feel so refreshed and cool, you can also add water if you like but that is completely optional.
Benefits of Aloe Vera:

►moisturizes the hair strands

►restores the hair

►gives hair its proper hydration

►conditions the hair strands

►prevents hair loss

►reduces oily strands

►regulates pH level of hair and scalp

►reduces dandruff

►closes the cuticles of the hair strand to lock in moisture

2. Distilled water mixed with your favorite oils
Here is where you can get creative when it comes to moisturizing your hair. Once you have found what oils your hair likes, they can be mixed together with water inside your spray bottle. So, grab your spray bottle fill it half way with distilled or purified water which is less harsh on the hair compared to your tap water.

Fill the rest of the bottle up with oils of your choice. Jojoba oil, extra virgin olive oil*, sweet almond oil*, tea tree oil*, castor oil*, coconut oil*, etc. Make sure your oils are organic. You can use as many or as little of these oils to your liking. Oil alone will not moisturize your hair so adding water will make the solution one of the best moisturizers for your hair.

3. Coconut oil mixed with Rosewater and Aloe Vera juice*
This is another mixture your hair will thank you for, it is SO beneficial to your hair it is almost unbelievable. This one takes a little work, but it will be well worth it. Gather your organic rose petals, boil them until the color fades. Drain off the rosewater into a bowl and start off with 4 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil in a separate glass bowl.

To melt the coconut oil*, stick it in the microwave for about 10 or less seconds. It is okay if it’s a little hot, add the coconut oil* to the rose water, stir or blend well.

Lastly, add 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice. Mix well, and pour into your spray bottle. Voila! You have a nice moisturizing spritz for you hair. *whispers* This can also be used on your skin!

We already mentioned the benefits of aloe vera juice* so what does rosewater contribute to the mix? Glad you asked! Rosewater is great for many including moisturizing and conditioning the hair as well, it also strengthens your hair and promotes growth. Oh and rosewater provides a shine, too! Oo la la!

Now coconut oil, the benefits are plenty, read about it here, it pretty much works miracles. It is one of the only oils that can penetrate the hair shaft strengthening the strand from the inside out.

4. Distilled water, your favorite conditioner, (oils are optional)

Cheat ALERT! This mixture is quick and simple. Just add your favorite conditioner (or leave in conditioner*) to your spray bottle filled with mostly water (distilled or purified).

You can go to a dollar store and purchase a bottle of conditioner for a dollar and some change. There are no exact measurements on how much conditioner to mix with your water that is completely up to you, just make sure there is more water than conditioner or the mixture will be too thick.

You may add olive oil or vitamin E* oil to add more benefits. This spray is basically acting as a leave in say Yes to more moisture!

5. Raw honey, Biotin, Extra Virgin Olive Oil*, and Distilled Water

Get that spray bottle add one teaspoon of raw honey, squeeze four gel pills of biotin, one teaspoon of olive oil, and fill the rest of the bottle with distilled or purified water. And there you have it…

Raw honey is added due to it gloss properties and it promotes moisture and shine. The biotin, of course,  promotes crazy hair growth. Usually, these are effective when taken by mouth, but why not physically put it on your hair and scalp? Major plus!

As always if you are allergic to any ingredient avoid using it, and if you are not sure about anything always consult your doctor first. All of these DIY sprays can be used as daily hair refreshers when your hair need its fix so enjoy!
