HERBAL HAIR RINSES FOR NATURAL LUSTRE AND BEAUTY

Air pollutants, heat, ultraviolet radiation, dry indoor air, cold winter air, permanents, hair dyes and strong shampoos all wreck havoc on the hair and scalp. Hair rinses can help, and the most effective are those that act directly on the scalp rather than the hair shaft, thus supporting the health of the scalp which provides the hair with protein and other nutrients through a network of blood vessels. There are basically two types of rinses (chemical and natural), the natural being the preferred. Natural hair rinses, which you can make yourself, act to stimulate circulation in the scalp and thereby strengthening the hair, giving it a fresh appearance, nourishing the hair follicle and promoting healthy growth.

After you have shampooed and conditioned, your hair, use a hair rinse which will boost up the natural shine and volume.

Hair rinses are simple and quick to make and they are effective in restoring the hairs natural PH balance. Hair rinse are also clarifying and remove the last traces of shampoo or conditioner residue that may remain on the hair shaft. This helps make the hair shine.

Preparation of Herbal Rinse

Prepare an herbal hair rinse the same way you make a herbal tea: Pour a cup of boiling water over a teaspoon of herbs.(Rosemary is my favourite). Steep for 10 minutes, then strain.

After shampooing, apply the herbal rinse to damp hair.

Message the rinse into the scalp gently and evenly; leave it on the hair without rinsing.  When applying the rinse, you can even use a squirt bottle or spritz bottle.

Comb the herbal rinse through the hair and allow to dry.

Dry your hair with a soft towel. Heat can damage your hair; so try to avoid using a blow-dryer and allow your hair to dry naturally.

Rinse with Chamomile Tea.

Simply prepare Chamomile tea (no sugar of course), take the tea bags out, let the water cool down and rinse the hair.  This works for any type of hair  Adding lemon to this tea will help keep the blond dye longer.  It actually helps lighten the hair colour. 

Rinse with Beer to add shine and body

If you want to do something nice for your hair, rinse it once a month with flat beer,

After applying the beer, you can rinse the hair with warm water or not, as you choose.  The beer acts as a natural setting lotion, giving blow-dried hair increased vitality, resillience and hold. The B-vitamins and natural sugar add body and shine. Don't  worry: The stale-beer smell will disappear very quickly.

Apply sesame oil to reduce sun damage:

The rays of the sun are extremely damaging to your hair, bleaching and drying it until it becomes brittle. Indeed, hair damage caused by to much ultraviolet radiation is irreparable.  However, sesame oil can provide excellent sun protection.  Massage a few tablespoons of the oil into your hair and scalp before going out into the sun for prolonged periods.  Sesame oil includes natural SPF (sun protection factor) of about 2,5.  For added
