How to Make Lemon Hair Spray from Fresh Lemons

There are a variety of lemon hair care ideas out there if you’re interested in making your own natural hair care products. It’s common to use lemon juice to lighten hair in the summer, but have you ever tried to make lemon hair spray?

This all natural lemon hair spray really works – plus, it smells fantastic!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 lemons (sliced)
• 2 cups of hot water
• Glass or enamel saucepan
• Cheesecloth
• Strainer
• Pump-type spray bottle

1. 
   Try lemon hair spray - It's so easy to make!

   Be natural – and adventurous. If you’ve never made your own natural haircare products, you’re in for a wonderful treat that is so healthy for your hair, and adds shine.

2. 

   Put the lemons and hot water into your saucepan over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat. Simmer until the water has reduced by half. Remove your lemon hair spray from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.

3. Line your strainer with cheesecloth, and strain the mixture to remove the lemons and the pulp. You can squeeze the last of the lemon juice out of the cheesecloth, if you wish.

4. 

   Pour the strained liquid into the spray bottle. Always keep lemon hair spray (and all natural hair care products you make) in the refrigerator.

Tips & Warnings

• Reap the benefits of using lemon hair spray. Not only does it provide hold – it will add body to fine or limp hair. Those with naturally lighter hair will also notice a few bonus highlights, but all hair colors will get a boost of shine. Your hair will love lemons!
• Lemon hair spray (like other natural haircare products) will last in the refrigerator for a month or two.

on 9/9/2009 I have used lemons for lightening the hair but not hair spray. I will have to try this one day. That spray recipe will also work for removing fleas from cats or dogs naturally too. LOL 5* God bless.

on 8/17/2009 I love lemons and I love women who adorn their heads (in wreaths, no less), so needless to say, I'm glad I clicked on this!

on 8/16/2009 I've never heard of using it as a hair spray. I like to use several (essential oil) lemon drops along with my shampoo when washing my hair, which also works well. Thanks for thr great article... 5*****
