Herbal Hair Rinses

Basic recipe is to make a tea, using 1 teaspoon of the dried herb or 1 tablespoon of the fresh herb and 1-2 cups of boiling water. Let it infuse 30 minutes. Cool it. And store in the frig. Use it as the final rinse after you shampoo.

If you don't have the fresh or dried herb, use herbal tea bags: 1 tea bag per 1-2 cups of water.

To bring out blond highlights, use chamomile.

To bring out red highlights, use candula.

To bring out brunnette highlights, use rosemary.

To help with dandruf, use parsley.

Christmas Craft Projects: Cinnamon ornaments

For hair growth.

1 egg yolk
2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
castor oil (estimate the amount so that you have enough stuff for the whole head )

Apply an hour or so before bedtime. Wash your hair in the morning.

My brother swears on this. I didn't try it, but he says his hair has become stronger since he started using garlic. Applying it (and getting rid of the garlic "perfume") might be a bit tricky if you have long hair.
