Getting new, chemical free hair care with essential oils is easy! This is a product that I have been using for five years, and absolutely love it. Spray it on while hair is still wet and before any other styling products.
Why Make a Hair Tonic?
I have used tonics and sprays to hydrate and smooth for years, and I like to apply them before either blow drying or air drying. Over the past few months I have been exploring new options for living a chemical free lifestyle. I have done well with food and medications, but I have hesitated with cosmetics and hair care.
I looked for a blow dry spray, but could not find anything that I liked that was chemical free. Therefore, I started to read the labels of some of the products that I have liked in the past. They all had one thing in common: essential oils and small amounts of fatty oils.
This gave me the confidence to try it myself! My first attempt at a hair tonic was a huge success. My hair is softer than it ever was with the chemically laden products. An added bonus is that this homemade product smells divine.
