I'm trying this one this out. I wasn't sure how much water so I used about 1 cup.
Hmm good point. The article didn't specify, however considering it says to put the ingredients in a spray bottle topped with water, and most bottles are 250mls, I would have gone with 1C too. I really want to try this too soon. With my current hairspray, I usually spray while holding my breath, then flee at great speed from the bathroom to avoid the plume of chemicals. Even moreso when I was pregnant.
I do find, though, using the bicarb washing method I don't use spray much at all now.
I look forward to hearing how it goes for you!
I didn't wash my hair again this morning and just gave it a good once over (probably about 6-10 squirts from my spray on leave in moisturizer bottle that I've repurposed)
It seemed to revive the back of my hair better than the front. It looked pretty decent until about lunchtime when the top started looking like it needed a good wash. It's about 4:30 now and the back still looks pretty good. It gave it a lot of texture and toned down the frizzy beatup ends. I'll try it again tomorrow when it's cleaner.
It seemed to leave my hair "dirty" looking and limp. I used it after washing my hair on Saturday. I think it looked a little dull too, no shine. I'm not sure if I will try it with a different ratio or not....I'm a Tejas girl and like my hair to have a little poof.
Hmm what a shame. Thanks for taking one for the team though!
I might try coming up with something myself. Though I rarely need spray now, just the jojoba oil for light smoothing and conditioning. It does offer some texture too.
In the 80's when my hair was quite big (lol) I used to use sugar water for hairspray. Worked good too.
