my bff




In my ongoing battle against dryness I have rediscovered my bff water.  Water is by far the best moisturizer I have found for my hair.  I "water" my hair twice a day (once if I'm being lazy).  About once a week I wash my hair in the shower and add leave in (2tsp Giovanni leave in, 6tsp Aloe Vera juice, 2tsp vegetable glycerin, 1tsp Jojoba oil, 1tsp Castor oil, 1 drop liquid vitamin B, drops of essential oil of lavender, lemongrass, rosemary).  To wash my hair I use Aubrey Honeysuckle Rose, lemon juice rinse, plain water, or Terressentials about once a month.  On the other days I spray my hair with water from my bottle in the morning and at night.  I have found my favorite mixture to be tap water (about 22oz), about 4 drops liquid Vitamin B, 1-2tsp Aubrey honeysuckle rose conditioner, 2tsp vegetable glycerin, 1tsp Jojoba oil. 

I also DC with water when I feel like my hair needs an extra boost of moisture.  I simply spray my water mix on and cover with a plastic cap.  I place a satin scarf over my plastic cap and sleep as normal.  Usually, once I wake from my overnight DC I lightly spray and go.  

I know I have recommended water before, but it's so important I'm harping on it again!  So if you are struggling with moisture give it a try.  

Let me know how you combat dry hair.

Have a great week,
Tootles for now
