8 Best DIY hair mists to keep your hair healthy

A hair mist is essentially a specially made perfume for your hair that can be used to keep it fresh in between the hair washes. They are inexpensive, light, water-based revitalizes with a lovely aroma. Hair mists are convenient for travel and simple to make at home. The best approach to take care of your hair and keep it looking healthy and beautiful is to use natural home remedies instead of chemical-based solutions. 

We never realize how important it is to keep our hair in good condition unless it is too late to get it conditioned. Our hair is frequently exposed to the sun's harsh rays, as well as a lot of dust, pollution and filth. We also employ a variety of styling tools and chemicals that can cause significant damage to our hair by removing its natural moisture and leaving it dry. 

There are a plethora of hair mists, styling refreshers and hair moisturizing sprays on the market that may or may not include ingredients that your natural hair prefers or requires. A DIY hair mist can have all of the components you want on your hair and none of the ones you don't, making it a unique combination that's just right for you.
