Kimberlily's defrizz spray

[Sherri]

Castor oil is too sticky. Other suitable oils are fractionated coconut oil, almond oil, broccoli seed oil, apricot kernel oil, and safflower oil. Basically any light oil will do in a pinch I wouldn't recommend oils like extra virgin olive and similar richer oils, because they won't distribute in the water very well.

It just hit me I can use my sweet almond oil in my difrizz spray. I have run out of the jojoba oil too. I was going to throw it out because I was using it by itself and my hair didn't like it. Maybe mixed with the other stuff it would be ok.

I made this for the first time the other day and I love it! I left out the glycerine because I didn't have any, and used sweet almond oil instead of jojoba but it's great.

The only problem I have is that the spray bottle I got is pretty useless so I have to just spray some on my hands and gently smooth it over, but I've got an almost-empty leave in conditioner bottle that I'll use next time.

Thanks Kimberlily!

such a great recipe....I've been using glycerin in catnip tea so far,and it works wonders...maybe I give this one a go too...thanks for posting!

[Leneveu]

Thanks so much - my hair loves this!

I used orange-blossom water which I had lying about, and it smells gorgeous. Also I used aloe juice (from Alnatura) as I couldn't find the gel in the shops here in Germany - so I'll keep the mix in the fridge.

Is it supposed to be that the jojoba oils stays floating on top (except when the mixture is shaken)?

[kimberlily]

Yes, Leneveu, the jojoba will float to the top. Totally normal. If you use a higher ratio of aloe gel (instead of juice), it stays suspended better, but shaking it solves the problem if it floats to the top.

Someone was asking about this so

I think I have everything except the glycerine for this. Wow, a hair spritzer that doubles as a make-up remover too!!! I'm sold!!!

I'm anxious to try this recipe out. I might add a little honey or agave nectar so that I get a little bit of hold.

How long can you keep your spray before it goes bad?
