Herbal hair remedies

[Guest guest]

I found these, thought I'd pass them along. Haven't tried them though.

 

  

   

recipes for nicer hair.

Herbal Shampoo

2 tablespoons catnip

1 tablespoon castille soap

1/4 cup boiling water

Place boiling water in a cup and add catnip. Allow to steep for 10

minutes.

Add castille soap to cup. Mix well. Apply entire portion to wet hair and

lather well. Rinse with cool water.

Leave-In Conditioner for Dry Hair

Handful of fresh rosemary

Handful of fresh mint leaves

1 cup cider vinegar

In a glass jar with a lid, drop the rosemary and mint leaves and cover

with

the cider vinegar. Seal the jar and leave for two weeks. Strain the

potion.

After shampooing, pour a tablespoon onto dry hair and leave in.

Conditioner for Oily Hair

1 lemon

1/4 cup cider vinegar

Wash, slice, and de-seed the lemon. Whir lemon in a blender to a smooth

pulp.

Filter through muslin. Mix with the cider vinegar. After shampooing,

blot

hair with a towel and rub lemon-vinegar mixture into scalp. Leave on

5-10

minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Conditioner for Fine Hair

2 strips kombu (Japanese seaweed)

3/4 cups boiled spring water

Steep kombu in spring water for 30 minutes. Remove the seaweed. After

shampooing, massage into hair. Rinse.

Dandruff Elixir

4 or 5 drops tea tree oil

1 tablespoon jojoba oil

In a glass jar with a tight lid, combine ingredients. Shake well. After

sectioning wet hair, dab mixture onto a clean cotton wad and stroke

along the

scalp. Wrap hair in a towel and let sit for 2 hours. Work shampoo into

hair

with a little water to remove oil. Rinse.

Hot Oil Hair Treatment

3 tablespoons pure jojoba oil

Warm the jojoba oil and apply it to your hair, starting at the ends and

working up to the top of head. Wrap hair in a towel and relax for an

hour, or

leave the oil in overnight. Rinse and shampoo hair as usual. Do once a

week,

more often if your hair is extremely dry.

 

 

Take good care.
