Herbal Hair Spray
This herbal spray is specifically designed to support strong growth and moisture retention, especially for 4C hair types. 4C hair types consists of very tight, small coils/curls that are densely packed together.
It’s a wonderful way to work with your hands to create a mindful self-care ritual.
The mucilage (a slippery, gel-like substance) found especially in hibiscus leaves coats the hair shaft, improving slip and reducing friction during washing or detangling. This means less breakage and softer feel.
Rosemary helps improve blood circulation to the scalp. Better circulation means hair follicles receive oxygen and nutrients more efficiently, which supports normal hair growth and less shedding/thinning.
Cloves are among the richest natural sources of antioxidants which help protect the scalp and hair follicles from oxidative stress caused by pollution, UV exposure, and everyday environmental damage.
