Loc'd/Natural Hair Daily Moisture Spritz

My 4c hair is SUPER dry...I mean tumbleweed in the middle of the desert without a drop of water in sight dry.
It wasn't until I started making my own daily spritz that I could keep my hair moisturized. When I got the dryness under control, it stopped breaking and shedding. It actually grows now...

This is how I make my spritz for locs. My spritz for my loose hair had about a teaspoon of vegetable glycerin in it. I don't use the glycerin in my loc spray because I don't want any buildup. 

You'll need: 

• Distilled water (tap water can be drying)
• 100% pure Aloe Vera Juice
• Castor oil and/or Jamaican Black Castor oil
• Lavender, Clary Sage, Rosemary, and Peppermint essential oils 

Oh yeah, and a spray bottle :-) 

Fill the bottle with half aloe juice...

...and half distilled water.

Add about a tablespoon of castor oil or Jamaican black castor oil (or combine both to make a tablespoon)

Add 6-8 drops of each essential oil...

Shake well and spritz away! I use it at night, in the morning, and throughout the day as needed. I use it to change a style, I use it when tightening my locs. I use it ALL THE TIME. One bottle usually lasts 7-10 days. 

In the morning & evening I always follow my spritz with a 1:1 JBCO/EVOO mixture scalp massage. This is probably aiding in the moisture & length retention. 

You could probably store this in the fridge but I never have. I keep it on the bathroom counter and it's never gone "bad" on me.

See y'all later!
