Would the alcohol do any damage to hair and especially color treated hair?

Simone says
No, the alcohol evaporates.

When using essential oils, be sure you’re using glass bottles for your end product, otherwise the oils will seep into the plastic.

Could you use tap water instead of distilled water?

Simone says
No. Distilled water is pure water without anything added.

That’s what I was wondering also. I’ve just used the lavender and water and never have a problem.

I know this is old, but if you can’t afford to go get distilled water, you can also make it yourself by boiling water in a kettle let it settle and cool down and then you have distilled water to help.
