Hair: 7 ways to use floral waters
Hair: 7 ways to use floral waters
floral waters and hydrosols are generally used for facials, but it is quite possible - and it is less known - to use it for hair. Beauté Test has listed several ways for you to use them to beautify your hair.
The undeniable advantage of floral waters and hydrosols is that they do not tarnish the hair as tap water can do when it is limestone. They provide acidity and therefore shine, which spring or mineral water foggers do not do
.
1-Reduce static electricity and add shine:
To smooth, shine and remove static electricity, mist your hairbrush, then style your hair. The hydrosols are all acidic, but some more than others, such as lemon, for example, for very dull hair. Softer, lavender or rose floral waters also work very well. As a bonus, their purifying action will help to clean up your styling tool.
Have you been a little too generous with your dry shampoo and your hair is tarnished? Spray your hair with fairly astringent floral water, like rose water. Are you looking for a more intense effect? Use grapefruit or lemon, which are even more acidic. Leave on for two minutes, then gently rub your hair with a towel.
3-Rehumidify curly hair:
In the morning, in order to redraw the curls, just mist the areas to be redefined. The acidity of the floral waters makes the hair shine more than mineral water or, all the more reason, than hard tap water. To make this moment pleasant, you can choose a hydrosol with a delicate scent like that of linden or orange blossom, the softness of which will perfectly suit dry lengths.
4-Treat gently oily, sensitive, or dandruff scalps:
Certain hydrosols can replace essential oils to treat unbalanced scalps. The latter, in fact, are sometimes too aggressive and can cause skin reactions. In addition, their use is often tedious. On the contrary, with floral waters, it is very easy, their action is lighter and does not require any special precautions for use. You can spray on freshly washed scalp (or not) and occasionally on a small irritation or dandruff area. In case of very thick hair, you can also proceed on wet hair, to better reach the affected areas. To treat dandruff, sage or grapefruit hydrosols are perfect. That of mint is well suited to oily hair, like that of tea tree. Lavender floral water soothes itchy scalps.

5-Dilute the rinsing treatments:
Are your conditioners and masks too heavy and contribute to regreasing your hair? You can generously mist your usual dose of care in the palm of your hand. They will thus be more fluid, therefore lighter and easier to rinse. The acidity and the purifying nature of certain hydrosols will limit regreasing. The floral waters of lavender, witch hazel or tea tree (in the case of very oily hair) are perfect for this use, because their purifying action helps to regulate the production of sebum.

6-Dilute the care without rinsing:
It is common to find that leave-in or leave-in creams sometimes leave cardboard hair, dull and a little heavy. To remedy this and give a second life to a rather average product, generously spray your daily dose of skincare. The floral waters will dilute it and thus make it lighter and evanescent on the hair. Not to spoil anything, their acidity, again, will bring even more shine.

7-Bring golden reflections to light hair:
Chamomile floral water is said to be lightening, its effect is light and it needless to say that it damages the fiber much less than a sweep or discoloration! Natural and often organic, it is ideal for bringing light to children's hair. You can use it in all the ways described above but also every day to gradually lighten the hair. In any case, if you notice a slight drying of the lengths, space the uses, make oil baths or use more nourishing masks.
