Big Hair, Don't Care

Big hair, don’t care! Well actually maybe you should. 💁‍♀️

Whether you’re trying to relive the ‘80’s, taming those baby hairs, or battling humidity, many of us reach for a can of hairspray and get to work without much thought to what we are spraying...and inhaling.💨
The common drugstore hairspray is packed full of chemicals that work wonders to stiffen your hair but if not careful they’re also coating the inside of your lungs every time you breathe them in.
The main scary ingredient in hairspray? Propylene glycol aka antifreeze.
​🚫That’s not even to mention all the flammable propellants, Phthalates (plastic), and fragrances (undisclosed chemicals that fall under the protection of ‘Intellectual Property).

When Mother Nature provides plentiful ingredients for sticking and slicking your hair into any style, it’s worth wondering – just why are we surrounding ourselves with a thick fog of harmful chemicals with each spritz of traditional hair spray? ​✨Making your own is incredibly easy!✨
DIY Toxic-Free Hairspray
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar ⠀⁣
- 1 teaspoon organic brown sugar ⠀⁣
- 20 drops Cedarwood essential oil (for stronger hair)⁣
- 10 drops Rosemary essential oil (for healthier hair)
- 10 drops of your favorite smelling blend. We love Stress Away, Citrus Fresh, KidPower or Lavender. ⠀⁣
​Directions: ⠀⁣
- Add sugar to the bottom of a glass spray bottle. 
- Add a splash of hot water and swirl to dissolve the sugar.⠀⁣
- Add your essential oils. ⠀⁣
- Fill to the top with distilled water and shake before use!
Plus natural options do exist on the market as well - we always recommend a liquid spray over an aerosol option. If you can’t kick the habit be sure to use it sparingly, in a well-ventilated room, and hold your breath to avoid breathing in the cloud.
