What's up!!!
What's up!!!
What's up everyone!!! 

I hope everyone is doing well:)

Today I'm blogging about the benefits of Rose Water.

I absolutely love using Rose Water as a spritz for my locs.  It leaves my locs, hydrated, moist and soft.  Yeah! Yeah! I know I already mentioned the benefits of Rose Water already.  If you have not seen it yet, check out my "Let's Go Shopping Everyone" video below:

I started using Rose Water because I saw a lot of youtuber's using it to moisturize their hair.  So when I saw it in the Wholefood Market one day I picked it up to try it.  Now I can't get enough of it!!!!!


Rose Water is basically a by-product of rose oil through the distillation of pure fresh rose petals.  In other words it's the water from rose petals....  You can buy it from the Whole Food Market for about $5.99 to $8.99 depending on the size or you can make it yourself:)))  I just started making it myself because I got tired of paying for it...lol...All you need is the following:

 DISTILLED WATER
 
 ROSE ABSOLUTE (in jojoba oil)
 
AN EMPTY SPRAY BOTTLE
 
 

I use an empty 4 0z. Rose Water spray bottle fill it up with distilled water and add 5 to 6 drops of Rose Absolute oil.  Shake to mix it altogether and you are done.  Keep in mind their are other ways to make it which you can find online, YouTube and Google.  I just find this to be the easiest and best way to make it.  Now that I explained to you what Rose Water is, where to get it and how to make your own. Now let me go into the benefits of using it.
 
Since ancient times roses were used for various reasons like perfume, medicine and nutrition.  For the purpose of this blog we are going to focus on its natural healing properties (the medicine portion) of roses.  Rose Water is a natural anti-septic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory product which makes it perfect to treat most skin and hair issues.
 
For the skin Rose Water is a good cleanser and toner.  It's most often added to ointment to be used as an emollient or added to cold creams.  Rose Water can also be used to treat skin infections like dry scaly skin, oily skin, skin inflammation, dermatitis and eczema.
 
For the hair Rose Water soothes, nourishes, and revitalize the scalp thereby enabling smooth blood flow to the scalp.  It keeps the scalp cool and fresh, it also rejuvenates the scalp preventing inflammation.  Last but not least Rose Water strengthens the hair roots and promotes hair growth.  Therefore acting as a wonderful conditioner because it keeps the hair free from split, dry and frizzy ends.
 
If you are looking for something different, light weight and natural to use as a hair spritz try Rose Water.  It does not way down your hair, clog your pores or cause heavy build up like hair spray oils, leave in conditioners, hair creams, hair grease and most hair oils. 
 
Keep in mind everyone, water is the universal moisturizer.  Any product that uses water as it's key ingredient is a very good option.  Anyway that's all I have for you today:)))
 
Thank you everyone for reading my blog and most of all thank you for your support.
 
Remember to stay healthy, natural and happy!!!!
 
 
Thank you,
