Homemade Hair Spray

Homemade Hair Spray

• 2 cups water
• 2 fresh lemons
• 1 tablespoon of vodka or rubbing alcohol

Peel the lemons and chop them into thick wedges or chunks. Bring the water to a boil, boil for one minute, then reduce heat to simmering. Add the lemons and simmer until the lemons are soft and the liquid has reduced to about halfway.Remove from heat, cool and then strain out the lemon bits. Pour into a spray bottle and then add the vodka. Shake well and then shake each time before using. If it gets a little too sticky, just add a bit of water.

The vodka or rubbing alcohol is important to include since it will help keep things from going rancid, but this will only keep for 2 to 3 weeks so don’t make too much at one time. Also boiling the water first before adding the lemons will help keep the mixture from going bad because it sterilizes it first.
If the lemons are organic you can slice them into wedges with the peels on and boil, this is because there are no pesticides on the peel to worry about.
