Hi ladies and gentlemen. I went to the salon today and my stylist showed me a book called Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey/Deborah Chiel and in it was a recipe for lavender hair mist that my stylist used on me and recommended. It smells so incredible and is easy to make if any of you are interested. I just made it tonight so I can't wait to try it. I'm sure it is fine for straight hair, too! Anyway, here is the recipe:
[SIZE=-1]"Lavender has cleansing properties, so this quick mist not only makes your hair smell like a lavender field in Provence, it's also indispensable for cleansing and reviving your curls. Make it in large quantities; keep a large spray bottle in your shower and smaller travel-size bottles in your purse, desk, and car.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]1/2 gallon water
5 drops pure (not synthetic) lavender essential oil
3 empty spray bottles (available at most drugstores)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]1. Fill a large pot with a half gallon of water.
2. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer for an hour to get rid of impurities. (Check occasionally to make sure water isn't boiling away.)
3. Remove from heat, add lavender oil, stir, and replace lid.
4. Let steep until cool, then pour into empty spritz bottles."

[SIZE=-1]I cut the recipe in half because I won't use 3 bottles so I will have to see how it works and let you know.
