DIY Anti Frizz Spray

A Quest to Find the Quickest Solution to Frizzy Hair – As Seen in Willow and Sage Magazine!

When the humidity level reaches sky-high limits, I’m talking 90% humidity during the summer months, my hair becomes a mass of frizz!

The summer is quite possibly the most notorious season for bad hair days!

You see as our hair absorbs moisture from the environment, it can become frizzy. Which makes wearing your hair down and/or straight near impossible. This is probably why ponytails and ball caps seem to be pretty popular during the summer…

What Gives?

While summer hair is, unfortunately, nothing to brag about for many of us. There are luckily a few things that can help. For example, washing your hair less can actually help your natural hair oils to do their job.

But, those oils often build upon our scalp and roots. This is where a good natural boar hairbrush comes in to help distribute the excess oil down the length of your hair.

And of course, a dry shampoo spray (recipe here) applied at the roots after brushing can help avoid the flat hair look… Secondly, if your hair tends to tangle a good homemade hair detangler will not only stop the tangles it will leave hair softer and healthier than before. Give it a try and use my five steps to keep your tresses moisturized, strong, and tangle-free here!

Third, a moisture-rich conditioner like my recipe for an all-natural shea butter conditioner does make a big difference when it comes to frizzy hair days.

But, sometimes washing your hair less often, using a dry shampoo, detangler, and great conditioner is not enough! 

Especially when the high levels of humidity last from sunup to sundown. We need more than the above combat to frizz! On my quest to find a solution I found several things that helped. Such as:

• Honey
• Coconut Oil
• Eggs
• Banana
• Aloe Vera  
• Apricot Oil

What Works to Tame Frizzy Hair?

Honestly, all of the above works to cut down on frizzy hair. However… most are not easily applied. Most require a hair mask or hot oil treatment. Although, I can make time for one of those once a week, I need something more convenient.

And I imagine, so do you. Luckily for us, I combined several of the frizz-controlling ingredients into an easy, very convenient DIY anti frizz spray! Now we can tame our frizzy hair in little to no time.

Anti Frizz Styling Aid:

After regularly washing your hair, pat dry with a towel, and apply a detangler. Comb through hair and apply a DIY anti-frizz spray from the following recipe. Style as usual and spritz in more as needed, depending on if you have curly, straight, or wavy hair.

Utilize aloe vera gels’ ability to form a protective layer around the hair to prevent moisture loss. Along with its’ power to smooth hair and keep the frizz down. If you’re washing your hair every other day, refresh it by lightly wetting with a spray bottle and applying more anti-frizz spray.

• ⅓ cup aloe vera gel

In a small dish dissolve two tablespoons of sugar into a half cup of warm water. Stir well to quickly dissolve sugar, then allow to cool. Speed up the process by placing the sugar water in the fridge for three minutes.

Next, once cooled add a third cup of aloe vera gel and half a teaspoon of apricot oil. Stir well to combine. While stirring add five drops each of lavender and rosemary essential oil.
