Lavender – Balances oil production and soothes the scalp (great for before bed!)
Sage- Relieves dry, itchy scalp and dandruff. Can gradually darken the hair.
Peppermint- Helps calm an inflamed scalp. Stimulates blood flow to the scalp.
Thyme- Balances oily hair and has antiseptic and antifungal properties that soothe the scalp.
Chamomile – Great for blonde hair since it will bring out highlights. And a little FYI If you don’t
have chamomile flowers, you can use Chamomile tea. And this goes for all the herbs.
Bulgarian Rose- Helps relieve scalp conditions (you can use something like Rose Nectar)
How to use: Add a few tablespoons of herbal vinegar into a large glass or bowl and dilute it with
water. I bring the bowl (with the herbal vinegar) into the shower and fill it up with the shower water.
Then I dip my ends into the rinse and let it soak in for about 30-60 seconds. I then dump the excess
over my scalp/hair and leave it in for 1-2 minutes. You can leave it in or rinse it out. I use these rinses
around once a week.
* How much herbal vinegar you’ll need depends on how much hair you have and the length of your
hair. If you have short hair you might only need 2 Tbs, if you have long hair you may need 4 + Tbs.
Experiment and find the dilution that works best for the length and thickness of your hair! I have thick
waist length hair and use 4-5 TBS.
* I store mine in the fridge to keep it fresh. It should keep for a year if stored properly.
How to use: Once cooled, it’s ready to use on your hair/scalp. Simply dump over your head from
scalp to ends (after shampooing/conditioning). Leave on for a few minutes and then leave in or rinse
out. Use your herbal rinses as often as necessary.
* I get 1-2 uses out of a batch. If you have some left over, you can store it in the fridge for a couple
days and use next time you wash your hair.
