This morning I created a quick and easy moisturizing mist. For those who prefer light mists over heavy butters, this is a wonderful way of refreshing an old twist or braid out or just adding a little moisture first thing in the morning. This is great when you hop in a steamy shower, the steam opens cuticles and using this spritz helps to add/seal in moisture while laying the cuticles down. Remember, aloe vera gel/juice flattens cuticles, prevents frizz, and balances pH levels in the hair.
Last night I trimmed my hair and when I took off my silk cap, my strands were still nice and moisturized. Just to test my handiwork, I took down a twist and I'm happy to say, it didn't go puffy on me! Yay!! The definition was nice, just the way I like it and held even after six hours from takedown.
Moisturizing Mist
3-4 parts water
1 part Sunflower oil
1 part Sweet Almond Oil
2 parts aloe vera gel
6 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil
This mist must be refrigerated and will last a few days or a week in the fridge. Make just enough to last a few days so you don't waste anything.
I have some dried hibiscus leaves soaking to gain their essential nutrients and will be adding a little into my mix as well. Hibiscus is great for strengthening the hair, stops hair loss, and breakage. In my next post I'll talk about the oils I use in my homemade recipes and hair care regimen.
