Hair Spray

• Citrus-Lavender Hairspray
• 1 whole orange (for dark hair) or lemon (for light hair), preferably organic (to avoid having pesticides in your hairspray)
• 2 cups distilled or filtered water (find the best water purification systems here)
• 2-3 tablespoons high proof vodka (or other clear grain alcohol)
• 6-8 drops of lavender essential oil (find 100% pure essential oils here)

1. Step 1
2. Cut a whole orange or lemon into wedges and combine with 2 cups water in a small pot. Boil over medium high heat until liquid is reduced by half.
3. Step 2
4. Strain liquid through cheesecloth into a measuring cup. If you boiled too much liquid out add water until you have 1 cup. Allow citrus juice to cool.
5. Step 3
6. Combine alcohol and essential oils in a small bowl, swirl to mix, then add to the cup of citrus juice. (Feel free to experiment with your favorite essential oil or leave them out altogether.)
7. Step 4
8. Use a funnel to pour into a spray bottle with a fine mister and shake to combine ingredients. Shake before each use.
9. A Few Things to Note
10. This is not a maximum hold hairspray that will freeze a prom up-do or 80s bangs. I can say with confidence that it's a flexible hold formula. I was a loyal user of firm hold hairspray for years before trying this formula, now I PREFER this to my old sprays.
11. This formula has been tested on my brunette hair. Use an orange for darker hair, and lemons only if your hair is light-colored. There is a chance the lemon can lighten your hair when exposed to sunlight.
