Herbal Vinegar Hair Conditioner |
Many, many thanks to Andrea for this great recipe and informative description of use. I am sure it will be most appreciated. Thanks again!!! I use this recipe as a hair rinse every time I wash my hair. Apart from leaving my hair with a wonderful scent, it does condition and nourishes my hair, and helps balance excess oil - but please note benefits will depend on the choice of herbs and EOs. Fill up a third of a clear, preferably wide-mouth jar with dried herbs of your choice: - rosemary for stimulating hair growth and strength - peppermint for balancing excess oil - thyme and sage if you have grey hairs; they're also stimulating, but I wouldn't recommend for light hair - lavender for nourishing Top up with apple cider vinegar, close it, shake it, and leave in a window sill or somewhere with lots of sun light. Shake the bottle at least twice every day for about 2 weeks, and your concentrate should be ready then! How to use it: dilute 1-2 tbsp in 500mL water, and if you want, add 10-20d of EOs of your choice, and use it as a rinse after shampoo. This is for one use, so you can vary the EOs every time! Many people think they'll be stinking of vinegar smell, but in fact, it fades off as soon as you towel your hair to dry it. If you add EOs to your mix, that's really the 'perfume' that will stay on your hair. Believe me, I've got compliments from strangers on the streets for 'how nice your hair smells!'. |
