Things You'll Need:
- 2 cups water
- 2 fresh lemons or oranges, preferably organic
- 1 tablespoon of denatured alcohol
- a few drops of essential oils, optional
- empty spray bottle
-
Step 1
Prepare the lemons/oranges by cutting into slices. (They will be thrown out, so no need to be neat!)
NOTE: If not using organic fruit, peel rinds from fruit first to ensure that you won't be exposing your hair to pesticide residues. -
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat water just to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer.
-
Step 3
Add the fruit to the saucepan and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. At this stage, the lemons/oranges should be extremely soft and pliable.
-
Step 4
Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool for about an hour.
-
Step 5
Strain liquid to remove all lemon/orange pieces.
-
Step 6
Pour alcohol and if chosen, essential oils, into the spray bottle. Next, pour lemon water mixture to bottle.
-
Step 7
Shake bottle to mix every time before use.
