Castor oil is sourced from the castor bean (Ricinus communis) and is rich in ricinoleic acid – a type of fatty acid that is known to fight inflammation. When applied to the scalp, it can enhance the health of the hair follicles. Furthermore, castor oil is rich in vitamin E, omega-6, and 9 fatty acids, as well as keratin. Therefore, when used on the scalp, it can help in increasing blood circulation which improves hair growth. Thus, this natural hairspray, apart from keeping your frizz-free and preventing it from going brittle, can also act as a DIY hair tonic.
Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons of sugar
* 1 cup of filtered water
* 1 tablespoon of castor oil
* 1 drop of any essential oil (optional)
Process
* Heat the filtered water and in a saucepan.
* Add the sugar and stir well until it dissolves.
* Let the solution cool.
* Pour the solution into a spray bottle.
* Make sure you shake the bottle well before use as this recipe combines oil and water which does not mix.
* Discard after 1-2 months.
