Hair Spray

Reviewed by Debra Jaliman, MD

WebMD Feature

This hairspray works surprisingly well. You can use leftover lemons that have already been squeezed. The alcohol extends the shelf life of the product.

2 to 4 lemons, sliced

1 tablespoon rum or vodka

Cover sliced lemons with water in a saucepan. Simmer for 30 minutes, then cool. Strain the liquid and pour into a spray bottle. Add rum or vodka.
