Benefits of this DIY hair perfume

Ladies, this hair perfume is not just a fragrant concoction for your hair, but all the ingredients that are used promote good hair health

2. Vanilla extract – This will not just give your hair a beautiful fragrance, but if you have dry hair then vanilla extract works like a magic pill. Your hair stays moist and well-nourished, and you might dodge a chance of getting split ends as well.

3. Grapefruit extract – Grapefruit is amazing for those who have dandruff issues, as it contains vitamin C. Do you know that dandruff when mixed with sweat can give you an itchy scalp? Yes, my dear, it can cause a total mess. On top of that, it can cause under-nourished hair follicles by clogging the pores on your scalp. Grapefruit extract kills the bacteria and keeps your scalp health in check.

So, bid adieu to smelly hair because now that you know how to make this amazing DIY perfume!
