NOTE: Some of these spritzes have a short shelf life (few days to a few weeks), so be sure not to create too much in one sitting. Refrigeration may extend the shelf life a bit.
I never tried adding conditoner to a spritz before. Hmmm... I did experiment with glycerin and oils in spritzes. My hair dosen't like glycerin and the oils made my hair greasy.
ReplyDeleteMy spritz contains water, aloe vera gel and a tiny bit of honey. It's very moisturizing and smells good. Also, it provides a bit of hold (due to the honey) so when I tie my hair down with a satin scarf I have a smooth finish.
Thank you for this! I have fine hair and this is really helpful :)
ReplyDelete@mangomadness: Now that spritz concoction sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing! :o)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: You're welcome! :o)
Hey, how do you know when ur spritz has gone bad? Does it change colour?
ReplyDelete@Karlene: My spritz mix has never gone bad. I use the mix I mentioned above. The aloe vera gel I use (Lily of the Dessert) has preservatives so I think that's enough to keep my mix from spoiling. Also, It never last very long so it doesn't have the chance to spoil.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend making small batches and smelling the spritz mix before you use it. If something smells off--it's probably spoiled.
I hope this helps! :)
@Karlene: Agree with mangomadness. The spritz will start to smell bad if it's gone bad. It usually won't change color until well after it's gone bad.
ReplyDeleteOk, thanks...for the record, the spritz i use is water, glycerine and peppermint oil or doo gro's leave in growth treatment with a few drops of peppermint or wild growth oil...i never got a bad smell (prolly cuz of the p/mint) but to me it got cloudy...will try ur solutions and refrigerator storage!
ReplyDeleteHope it helps! (Given the ingredients you mentioned cloudy may not be bad, but yes, to be on the safe side, refrigerate.) :o)
