Rosemary Spray for Hair
This simple, all-natural rosemary spray for all types of hair, will leave your hair feeling nourished, refreshed and healthy. This rosemary water can also help relieve itchy or irritated scalps and promote hair growth.
Essential Oils
Essential oils are potent, and need to be diluted. Make sure to do your research first and use with extreme care. As this spray is being used near your body and face, you will need to use essential oils that are gentle enough to be applied to your skin – and use in the correct quantities. Be careful to avoid sensitive areas like your eyes. Also, make sure to use oils that are safe for kids if using this spray on your kids.
Be careful when using some essential oils such as lemon. This is a photosensitive oil, which means that you can have a reaction if you go out in the sun within a few hours of using it. For this reason, when using Lemon essential oil in body care products, I use this Steam-Distilled Lemon Essential Oil from Plant Therapy as it is not phototoxic, which means you don’t have to worry about phototoxicity.
Some essential oils that could be used in this spray are
- Rosemary essential oil
- Lavender essential oil
