What's in your spray bottle(s)?????

[butterfly_wings]

^^ what benefits does the ACV have in your spray bottle?

 

[Nonie]

What's in your spray bottle(s)?

ACV, rosemary essential oil, lavendar essential oil, water.

For what do you use the spray bottle(s)?

To spritz my twists if I want to put them up in a style; they are easier to stretch when damp.

I also use this as my "ACV rinse" if I don't feel like dunking my head in an ACV solution in a basin as my final rinse after washing my hair. I will towel dry, then spritz my twists and let them airdry.

What tips can you share for keeping your mixture fresh?

I don't do anything really. I guess it doesn't stick around enough for it not to remain fresh since I wash my hair twice a week and I tend to lazy more days than not so spritzing is really what I'm likely to do instead of dunking. What's more, vinegar and essential oils are preservatives themselves so even if I didn't use it fast, I don't think I'd be too worried about the solution going bad. *shrug*

I'll start-

What's in your spray bottle(s)? 1 has lacio lacio & water (for rollersets & some braidouts. Another one has water & my favorite moisturizing conditioners (basically, I take the leftover conditioner that I can't get out that's at the end of a bottle, put a little hot water in the bottle, swish it around until it all becomes liquid & put that into a spray bottle for bunning and spritzing.

For what do you use the spray bottle(s)? rollersets, braidouts, twistouts, bunning

What tips can you share for keeping your mixture fresh? I am actually interested in keeping that mildew smell away, so any tips are appreciated.

You can buy a preservative online. There are ones like optiphen that do not contain parabens. Some think that things like grapefruit essential oil or vitamin will do it but they won't. You need a real preservative.

Water, tea tree oil, rosemary oil, and msm. I use this to moisturize the hair and scalp as needed, and it's very soothing. One 8oz bottle can last months, and stays fresh since the oils are anti-bacterial/anti-fungal. I don't mix any products into it.

 

[BlackDiamond21]

Ok I just started using a spray bottle on the regular, like every morning and this is the first time I am getting results that I want which is moisturized hair!!! Previous mixes left me just UGH - disgusted!

What's in it: Water & KCC Knot Today Leave In

Uses: Thus far I have used it for prepping my daily poof style in the mornings

Tips for freshness: I recommend only mix what you need/will use within a week (can stretch a couple days longer if need be), keep the bottle in cool area, such as your bathroom cabinet or counter and clean your spray bottle out with soap & water in-between mixes.
