Many chemicals make up a bottle of hairspray.  Some of them unpronounceable like the toxic chemicals found on The Dirty Dozen. By creating your own hairspray from your kitchen, you avoid those harmful chemicals. Far from your grandmother's aerosol hairspray, this is actually edible.

Directions:

1. Chop up Orange in pieces
