  6. Screw the lid back on.

  7. Shake it like a Polaroid picture.

  8. Spritz liberally all over those foxy locks of yours.

Extra tips

Shake the spray bottle well before you use it.

You can use the spray on dry hair, before or after styling, as a pre-shampoo treatment, or right after showering when your hair is freshly washed and slightly damp.

This spray is fab to use if you have dandruff or a dry, itchy scalp. Coconut oil, lavender oil and vitamin E are highly moisturising and safe for sensitive skin.

You can use this coconut oil spray to protect your hair naturally whilst swimming to prevent chlorine and sun damage.
