Any woman strives to always look good, to be well-groomed and attractive. Beautiful makeup, a variety of hair masks, medical cosmetics, visits to specialists in the field of beauty and, of course, a hairstyle help her in this. Surely every girl at least once found herself in a situation where there was no styling tool at hand. What to do in this case, how to fix the hairstyle? The answer to this question will be given below.
The consequences of applying hairspray
Previously, when there was no styling for industrial hair, our grandmothers and mothers came up with different options for replacing hair spray. For these purposes, they used the simplest available tools. All these recipes have survived to the present day. It’s not difficult to make a laying composition with your own hands. The resulting product will not only perfectly fix the hair, but also will not harm the hair. Regular use of varnish, gel, foam and other styling products purchased in the store can ruin the hair structure. Women may experience hair loss, dandruff, thinning, and increased sebum. And owners of sensitive skin can even get allergies. During varnish spraying, microscopic particles of styling products settle on the mucous membranes and skin of a person, penetrating the body. It's unhealthy. Want to learn how to cook your own hair styling product? Read on.

Every woman should know how to replace hair spray, so that on occasion you can quickly do the styling and look attractive. There are several simple rules that you should adhere to get a truly effective and high-quality product:
- All ingredients must be fresh.
- Only glassware can be used.
- It is necessary to determine in advance what degree of fixation is required. The amount of ingredients depends on this.
How can I replace hair spray
So, let's move on to the main question - what can be used to fix hair instead of hairspray. The following products are suitable for this purpose:
- Sugar.
- Lemon juice.
- Bread.
- Gelatin.
- Yeast.
One of the most effective and simplest means for fixing hair is a varnish made from lemon juice at home. This method was still popular with our grandmothers. If you adapt to use it correctly, the product will not only be invisible, but will also add shine and softness to natural hair. The cooking process consists of several steps:
- Whole, unpeeled lemon must be finely chopped or sent to a blender.
- The resulting mass is poured with three glasses of liquid and put on fire.
- The composition is boiled in half.
- Next, the broth needs to be cooled. To do this, just leave it in a cool, dark place for at least an hour.
- Strain the mass and pour into a container with a spray. Done!
Tip. If the liquid varnish seems to you too hard and strong, then you can add a small amount of clean water to the composition. It is recommended to apply varnish from lemon juice before proceeding to styling. Sprinkle dry or damp curls with varnish, comb thoroughly and style your hair as usual. Such a solution will fix the hair and will well affect the state of hair. For oily hair, it is especially useful, the head will become less dirty.
Sweet syrup
Thinking of what hairspray can be replaced with? Make a sweet water. From the name it becomes immediately clear that the main ingredient in this recipe is sugar. It takes only a few minutes to prepare sugar varnish. It is necessary to add three tablespoons of granulated sugar to a glass of water, mix thoroughly and done! But this tool has some drawbacks, it is not suitable for everyone.
- Apply sweet water only before the styling process. It is impossible to fix a ready-made hairstyle with its help.
- This solution is not suitable when you want to stretch your curls. Hair under the influence of the hot temperature of the iron will become hard and will stand "stake". But the curls on the curlers or curling iron under the influence of sugar varnish will last perfectly for several days.
- And the biggest drawback of sugar vodka is that it can spoil some types of hair - dry, thin and weakened. That is, if you are thinking of replacing thin hair styling products, you will have to refuse sugar lacquer. For others, this fixation method is also recommended to be used only in rare and emergency cases.
Borodino bread hairspray
Many have probably already guessed that brown bread will be the main ingredient. The process of preparation of "Borodino" varnish consists of the following steps:
- Crumble half the rye loaf in small pieces.
- Pour the crumb with two glasses of boiling water and cool.
- Add more water (two times less than in the second step), put on the stove and boil for 2-3 minutes.
- Strain and pour into a spray bottle.
Beer and Coke Recipe
Not sure what to use instead of hairspray? You can just take a beer or Pepsi and sprinkle a little hair with this liquid. Do this before laying. A hairstyle fixed by beer will last at least 8 hours.
Tip. Beer in itself does not have a particularly pleasant smell. For this reason, not every woman agrees to spray their hair. It is very easy to solve the problem - dilute the drink with herbal infusion in a ratio of 1: 1. Owners of light curls are recommended to add an infusion of chamomile or nettle. Dark-haired girls - hops. For a normal and oily type of head, use oak bark. And for hair prone to oily, sage or mint is suitable. With a mixture of beer / cola and herbal infusion, rinse the curls and dry. After that, you can begin the installation process.
Homemade styling
You can independently make not only hair spray, but also other styling products. For example, a laying balm made of flaxseed. This is the best mousse for hair styling, because it has a healing property. To make the mixture you will need:
- Add two tablespoons of flax seeds to a half glass of liquid and boil. Seeds must be boiled.
- Strain the broth through a sieve or cheesecloth.
- Add a few drops of your favorite aromatic oil to the resulting liquid. Done!
The solution is not very liquid. It can completely replace store mousse or styling gel. Great for smooth hairstyles, curls and when you want to achieve the effect of wet hair.
