Simple Living Hairspray

   
I love the hold on this product.

If the statement above is true, then this hairspray makes me wonderwoman.

How much more simple can you get than three ingredients for a great holding hairspray. Best of all it costs less than a dollar to make!

Ingredients:
-3/4 cups boiled water
-1 tbsp white sugar (or raw sugar)
-1/2 tbsp vodka or white rum (I prefer vodka to avoid the rume scent)
-you can add about 7 drops of essential oil for a scent, but I never do

Directions:

1. Boil your water in a saucepan.
2. Once boiling add the sugar and stir to desolve.
3. Add the alcohol and give it time to heat up (boiling is not necessary) 
4. Allow it to cool before putting it in a spray bottle.

Any spray bottle will do. I use one of the TSA approved ones from the travel toiletries section in any supermarket, pharmacy store, Walmart, Target, etc. That way I can easily take it in my purse for hair emergencies whenever they strike. You can even use a larger all-purpose type spray bottle if you like.

Some tidbits of information. This hairspray does have an expiration date based on the fact that it has sugar in it. I find it takes a few months for it to spoil. But on the upside of things, this hairspray can be easily brushed out of your hair. Unlike store-bought sprays you don't have to wash your hair immediately after using. You can brush it out and go to bed after your night out on the town. The next day your hair will be fine and not at all stiff.
