Hairspray is notorious for containing chemicals, including aerosol, plastics, and VOCs. Fortunately, it’s easy to create a natural alternative that’s cheaper and healthier for your hair. You’d be surprised to know it only needs a couple of ingredients, one of which is white sugar—while not great for the body, it works wonders for skin and hair.
If you use hairspray, give this natural option a try and enjoy benefits for both your health and the environment. For those seeking added texture and volume, a sea spray might be more suitable.
This recipe can last indefinitely if you keep it in an airtight container. Adjust the sugar to change the stiffness and hold—more sugar will provide a stronger hold, but be careful not to overdo it to avoid stickiness. I’ve also experimented by combining this with salt from my beach wave spray for a texturizing mix, reducing sugar by half and adding half the magnesium.
