Green Tea & Nettle Tea Hair Spritz

When you think "tea", you think of lemon wedges, ice cubes, relief for hot summer days or a remedy for a sore throat. However, different teas are beneficial beauty ingredients as well. Two herbal teas that are excellent hair conditioners are Green and Nettle tea.
These little leaves are packed full of antioxidants, vitamin C and E, panthenol, and beta carotene. It strengthens and conditions the hair, stimulates growth and helps relieve dandruff. And here you thought that it was just a delicious drink, shame on you!

I was in need of a moisturizing hair spritz, so I decided to quip up this little concoction. You may already have a few of these ingredients on hand. If not, don't worry! They are inexpensive and can be found at any health food store.

Green Tea & Nettle Tea Hair Spritz Recipe

You will need: 1cup of water,

1 green tea bag,

 1tbs of nettle tea,

 1/4 cup rose water

 about 5 drops of rosemary oil.

You can purchase pre-made tea bags, or create one with a knee high stocking. I put the tablespoon of nettle inside of the stocking and seeped the nettle and green tea in one cup of hot water for about 5 minutes.

Rosewater that I purchased from a local Middle Eastern grocery store in downtown Louisville, KY.

Rosemary is a scalp stimulant. If you do not have rosemary essential oil, use rosemary leaves (often in the spice section of you local grocery)

All mixed up! Let cool and pour into a spray bottle. Viola! All natural and moisturizing hair spritz!

This spritz smelled absolutely wonderful and will make your hair very soft! I will definitely create this again! Be careful, as the tea spritz stained my clear spray bottle. You may store this in the fridge or in room temperature.This will stay fresh for about 7 days.
