Recipes for Hair Rinses/Sprays

Hair rinses and sprays in this section are use to benefit the hair in some way, (such as cleaning it slightly, increasing hair growth etc.)

Hair Clarifier

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup lemon

Directions: Mix the ingredients together and pour over your head. Massage gently and let it sit for 10 minutes Rinse out, condition and style. Leaves the hair clean and smelling great! (This recipe won't work if you use a lot of oils and heavy styling products, you would need to shampoo in this case).

Lemon/Honey Rinse

  • 2 teaspoons honey1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 4 cups warm water

Directions: Combine in a large bowl. After washing hair, pour mixture through hair. Don't wash out. Dry as usual.

MotownGrl's Scalp Energizer

Directions: Place ingredients in a spray bottle and spray directly on scalp. This will leave your scalp feeling alive and smelling great! Shake well before each use. This relieves an itchy scalp or that uncomfortable feeling I get when my hair is growing. It can also encourage hair growth.

Egg & Honey Treatment
  • 1 tablespoon honey 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond oil
  • 1 tablespoon yogurt

Mix together apply to hair and let site for at least an half hour.

Olive Oil Treatment (Hot oil treatment for dry hair)

  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil (add more for longer and/or thicker hair)
  • 1 plastic cap or plastic grocery bag

Heat oil in the microwave until warm. For easy application, carefully pour the olive oil into a spray bottle to the ends and dry parts of your hair (avoid getting it on your scalp). You can use your fingers too, but I found the spray bottle to easier. After you have applied the olive oil, put on an old shower cap or a plastic grocery bag (I prefer the grocery bag).

For a deeper treatment, wrap a hot towel around the shower cap and leave on your hair for at least one hour. Apply shampoo directed to your hair without water first, then slowly work the water in. You can choose to use conditioner afterwards if you wish. Make sure you rinse it out in a kitchen sink - not in the shower because it will make the bottom of the shower/tub slippery
