DIY Micellar Water for Hair
This natural DIY micellar water for hair replaces shampoo, leaving your tresses clean and soft without any harsh surfactants or suds. It can also be used as a clarifying treatment to gently remove buildup caused by hair products or pollution.
Servings: 1 bottle
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup peppermint hydrosol or culinary mint water
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 1 tbsp vegetable glycerin
- 1/2 tsp Poly Suga Mulse D9 (see recipe notes)
- 1 tsp leucidal liquid
- 5 drops peppermint essential oil
- 5 drops rosemary essential oil
Optional
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Supplies
Instructions
- As always, start with clean, sterilized tools – I submerge everything in boiling water before use.
- In your glass bottle, combine the vodka, peppermint hydrosol (or mint water) and vegetable glycerin. Shake gently to combine.
- Add the Poly Suga Mulse and swirl gently to combine before adding your peppermint and rosemary essential oils.
- Add the apple cider vinegar if desired, and then add the leucidal liquid before swirly gently once more.
Notes
You should tweak the amount of Poly Suga Mulse D9 to suit your particular hair type.
For dry hair, use 1/2 tsp of Poly Suga Mulse D9.
For slightly oily hair, use 3/4 tsp of Poly Suga Mulse D9.
For oily hair, use 1 tsp of Poly Suga Mulse D9.
The preservative is not optional! Water-containing products are a breeding ground for mold, fungus, and bacteria. Unpreserved DIYs are not only unsanitary, but they’re dangerous, too. If you don't have leucidal liquid on hand, please replace it with a water-soluble preservative of your choice.
