Making your own Homemade Hair Rinses
The scalp of our hair supplies the hair with protein and other nutrients to keep the hair healthy. This supply comes from blood vessels and to keep the hair healthy you have to treat the scalp rather than the hair shaft itself. There are chemical rinses and natural rinses that help in the process.
Natural rinses act to stimulate circulation in the scalp rather than coating the hair and other simple techniques will help to repair and keep your hair looking great. Here are a few that can help and some can be done in less than 30 seconds.
• Linden Flower Rinse: boil 1 cup water, and 1 tsp linden flowers. Steep the linden flower and allow to cool a bit, strain out the flowers and rinse over stressed or over-dried hair. Can be used for up to 6 weeks.
• Sesame Oil Rinse: 1 tbs. of sesame oil into the hair and scalp can help guard your hair against sun damage. Apply to hair and scalp before heading out into the sun.
• Chamomile Rinse: 1 cup boiling water plus 1 tsp. chamomile flowers. Pour the water over the flowers and steep. Allow to cool slightly and filter out the flowers. Rinse hair and scalp with this water mixture and it will give your hair sheen; you can also use this to lighten blonde hair healthy.
Use these rinses incorporation with your normal shampooing routine to help keep your hair and scalp healthy in a natural way. Hair rinses date back to before women took the time to care for themselves and just using their old techniques can keep your hair looking great everyday.
