Herbal Hair Rinse

Herbal Hair Rinse
           This rinse is amazing and very beneficial to your hair and scalp. In contrast to a vinegar based hair rinse, this rinse should not be washed out with water, but left in your hair to reach the maximum benefit. This recipe makes enough for one rinse.

• 4 Cups of cold Distilled Water
• 1/2 Cup of Birch Bark
• 1/4 Cup of Chamomile Flowers
• 1/4 Cup of Elderberry Flowers and Leaves
• 1/4 Cup of Horsetail
• 1/4 Cup of Nettle
• 1/4 Cup of Walnut Leaves
• 1/4 Cup of White Oak Bark
• 1/4 Cup of Yarrow Flowers

In a saucepan, combine the ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain, cover again, and allow to cool. Use as soon as it is cool enough to use on your scalp. 

To use:  wet hair with one-third of the rinse, then shampoo and rinse with clean water. Pour the remainder of the rinse over your hair and allow it to penetrate for a few minutes. Then dry your hair and normal.
