Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to try making my own hair fragrance for a while now, you know, something that smells good and is actually good for my hair. I finally got around to doing it, and let me tell you, it was way easier than I thought!
First, I grabbed an empty spray bottle I had lying around. You know, one of those small ones you use for travel or whatever. Then I went to my essential oils collection – I’m kind of obsessed, not gonna lie. I picked out peppermint and orange because, well, they smell amazing together! But you can totally use whatever scents you like.
I also got some distilled water and some lemon juice. I know, sounds random, but the lemon juice helps the fragrance last longer, and the water, well, it dilutes the oils so they’re not too strong.
Now for the fun part! I put some distilled water into the spray bottle, not too much, just enough to fill it about halfway. Then I added about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. After that, I put in like, 10 drops of peppermint oil and 10 drops of orange oil. You can adjust this, of course, depending on how strong you want the scent to be. My friend, Haley, told me she once added too much, 27 drops, and it was too strong! Remember to start with less because you can’t remove it after you added them.
I gave the bottle a good shake to mix everything up. And that’s it! Seriously, that’s all there is to it.
I’ve been spritzing this on my hair after I shower, and it smells so fresh and lovely. Plus, peppermint is supposed to be good for your scalp, so it’s like a win-win. My hair feels great, and it smells delicious. I even made a small bottle for Haley and she loves it! If you want to make one for yourself, watch this.
- Got an empty spray bottle.
- Mixed distilled water and lemon juice in the bottle.
- Added peppermint and orange essential oils.
- Shook it all up!
- Spritz and enjoy the good smell!
Here’s a quick recap of what I did:
Honestly, this was such a simple and fun little project. I’m already thinking about what other scent combinations I can try. Maybe something with lavender next time? Or maybe I can add them to my shampoo or conditioner? Anyway, if you’re looking for a natural way to make your hair smell amazing, I totally recommend giving this a try. It’s cheap, easy, and your hair will thank you!
