Why this mist stays light
Rose water gives a soft botanical base, aloe vera adds a light hydrated feel, and a tiny amount of glycerin can help the mist feel smoother on dry lengths. Keep it light: this is not a heavy leave-in cream and it should not make hair sticky.
Recipe ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rose water
- 1 tablespoon distilled water
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel
- Optional: 2 drops vegetable glycerin
How to prepare it
- Add rose water and distilled water to a clean 2-ounce spray bottle.
- Whisk aloe vera gel with a teaspoon of the liquid until smooth, then add it to the bottle.
- Add glycerin only if your hair likes humectants.

How to use it
- Mist lightly over mid-lengths and ends, not directly into the eyes.
- Comb through gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.

- Stop if your scalp feels itchy or uncomfortable.
