Tips & Warnings
To use, spray over styled hair like you would use traditional hair spray. You may need to use a bit more homemade corn syrup hair spray than commercial products.
Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade hair care products in an aluminum or copper container, as there is serious concern about heavy metals entering the body through the pores and scalp.
