Simple Hairspray Formula for Winter Flyaway Hair
By Annie B. Bond
The heat is on in our homes and offices, and the air outdoors is cold and dry. This can spell big trouble for our poor abused tresses: flyaway hair is everywhere! If your hair could use a little soothing help, try this one-ingredient hairspray. Unlike commercial hairspray products which often contain harmful toxic chemical ingredients, this is totally natural. It smells so fresh and clean, is super-simple to make and use, and works like a charm to tame those flyaway locks!
Find out the easy directions here:
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
boiling water to cover
1. Place the rosemary in a coffee mug and cover with the boiling water. Allow to steep for several hours, then strain the liquid into a spray/spritz bottle.
2. Spritz onto dry hair.
Makes about 1 cup of spray. Will keep for a week, if refrigerated.

Be gentle with wet locks. Dehydrated hair is more likely to break when brushed, explains Eric Fisher, owner of the Eric Fisher Salon in Wichita, Kan. To protect hair after showering, lightly spray ends with a leave-in conditioner (opt for Pantene Detangle Light Spray Conditioner, $4.30; at drugstores; or Biolage Fortifying Leave-In Treatment, $1 3; 800-6-MATRIX) to help make strands more pliable. Then comb tresses gently with a wide-tooth comb and blot with a soft towel (vigorous rubbing can cause further breakage).

Rosemary rinse or spray... Use it all the time!

This is a nice recipe, but if I was looking for something with decent hold, I'd have been disappointed. Good thing I wasn't!
It's great at keeping the fly-aways at bay and if I apply it when my hair is wet, my curls stay in individual locks longer. I added a few drops of 5th dark vanilla essential oil (from Texas Natural Supply) after it was done steeping and it smells delicious. The rosemary on it's own has a nice earthy scent, but I needed a stronger scent to mask the smell vinegar rinses leave behind.

Thank-you for this one. I once had a dog with allergies and the Vet recommended using this rosemary rinse for her itchy skin. Seems better than the lemon juice as for generations my family has use lemon juice to lighten hair in the summer months and it works great. Dark haired folks may not want the lightening effects of the lemon juice.
