Can You Use Cooking Spray on Hair?

January 25, 2012 By Tiki 4 Comments

Having two daughters makes for some very interesting conversations. One day while having a random chit chat, my daughter asked me if you could use cooking spray on your hair. I had to stop and think about it for a second. In her mind, it was a natural oil spray and sealer. My first instinct was to say no because the spray I was most familiar with contains propellant. However, after further research and a little testing, my answer changed.

Now, I say…Why yes! You can use cooking spray on hair. Yep, that’s what I said! You read it correctly! Someone mentioned using 100% olive oil spray on one of the hair boards and I decided to go for it. Plus, I wanted to get some for my daughters because they hate the moisturizing and sealing process. So, I picked up a can that didn’t have any additives and decided to use it as a natural oil spray. It turns out that their and Cherrelle (my hair) loves it. Years later, I still keep cooking spray in my stash but I also purchased an oil mister that I filled with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Can You Use Cooking Spray On Hair As A Natural Oil Spray Or Sheen

Olive Oil Spray Using A Mister

Did I mention…This is a great alternative to using a commercial oil sheen that contains mineral oil. I will admit that this is a plus for those like me who don’t like the feel of oil on their hands but know the importance of sealing in moisture. I know it does sound a bit crazy to use cooking spray on hair but it does work.

ETA: Since this post, I have recommended the brand below to other in hair communities and they’ve had great experiences. Again, I do say try buying a mister first but if your budget is tight or you are in a pinch, pick up an Olive Oil spray and give it a go. If you would like to know what I did to grow my hair to Hip Length, please stop by my hair regimen page.

The Olive Oil spray below is the one I picked up but I would like to try the Sunflower Oil spray. This is the ONLY one I’ve seen that doesn’t contain propellant. I purchased this from my local Wal-Mart for less than $4.00.

    What are the dangers of the propellant or why can’t it be in my hair? I’m asking because the spray I have is from Sam’s club and it has propellants, however, I’m not allowed to buy another one. Is it better to just use the oil(that doesn’t contain propellant) or the spray that contains propellant?

      It’s better to have a spray that is 100% oil and no additives. That’s best for cooking and your hair.

    Hi Tiki!!!

    I feel you๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’— love your site. I have rosacea…skin is so dry on cheeks…I am on a budget and found olive oil works so well for my face…cheeks. And like if I put make up I feel and look great, makeup nice natrual looking, but you can see the enlarged pores on my face now…it was not like that always so its progressed due to roseace. But can you suggest if I have to buy a product or whatever…for my face because I see the roseace damaging skin…I am seeing miniscule craters and wrinkles…it looks like my pores are actually expanding….so like I figure I need somethings to plump skin…like prevent further damage. I will use a facial cream or natural stuff..i gotta see if I can make a mixture of olive oil and something. Oh by the way I am 40…but I look younger, so my skin is holding up with my proper eating habits adequate hydration and using moisturizers, but I am running out of time.

    Question…where do I get a mister? Or that can spray thick olive oil…maybe I will try this dollar store one I have just sitting around.๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒˆ
