Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we jump into the instructions, gather the following ingredients:

2 cups of water
1/4 cup dried herbs (choose from chamomile, nettle, rosemary, or lavender)
1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (optional for an extra shine boost)
A pot or saucepan
Strainer or cheesecloth
A bottle or jar for storage

Instructions to Make Your Herbal Hair Rinse

Now let’s create your herbal hair rinse. Follow these simple steps:

Boil the Water: Start by bringing the water to a boil in a pot or saucepan.
Add the Herbs: Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and add your chosen dried herbs. Stir well!
Steep the Mixture: Allow the herbs to steep in the hot water for about 20-30 minutes. This will help extract their beneficial properties.
Strain the Herbs: After steeping, strain the mixture using a strainer or cheesecloth. Discard the herbs and keep the liquid.
Add Apple Cider Vinegar: If you’d like, mix in the apple cider vinegar to the strained liquid. This is optional but highly recommended for extra shine!
Cool and Store: Let the rinse cool down completely. Store it in a bottle or jar with a lid. It can keep for about a week in the fridge.

How to Use Your Herbal Hair Rinse

Now that you’ve made your herbal hair rinse, let’s go over how to use it:

After shampooing your hair, pour the herbal rinse over your hair evenly.
Gently massage it into your scalp and the lengths of your hair.
Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the herbs to work their magic.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal in the shine.

Enjoy the fresh, fragrant feeling of your newly revitalized hair!
