Homemade hair rinsing aids
March 3, 2009
After washing the hair with a shampoo or any other cleaning agent, it is very important to rinse well. Rinsing aids could help restore the natural pH balance making the hair healthier and imparting a natural shine.
They also help remove the last traces of shampoos and conditioner residue that might have remained in the hair shaft. It is recommended to use a good rinse aid once a week and wash it off thoroughly with cold or tepid water.
Some homemade rinsing aids are listed below;
The use of Cider vinegar dates back to the time of our grandparents. In this recipe, apple cider vinegar is the base ingredient.
In a glass jar, mix 5 ml or 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar to 10 ml or 1 tbsp of orange flower water, 10 ml or 1 tbsp spring water, 3 drops of petit grain essential oil and 1 drop of bergamot. Shake well to disperse them. For using after shampoo and conditioning of hair, pour the rinse gradually through the hair so as to cover all hair strands. Wash off with cold or tepid water after a couple of minutes.
This rinse suits all types of hair but is best suited for greasy hair.
Rosemary suits dark hair best. If you have light colored hairs substitute rosemary with chamomile or parsley.
Boil the finely chopped herbs in a pan with water just enough to cover it. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, strain the mixture and squeeze the juice of one lemon approximately 1 tsp into it
Combine the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon 1 tsp (5 gm) fresh, chamomile, or parsley, finely chopped rosemary, with enough water to cover the herbs in a small saucepan. For using after shampoo and conditioning of hair, pour the rinse gradually through the hair so as to cover all hair strands. Wash off with cold or tepid water after a couple of minutes.
This rinse also suits all types of hair and imparts a shine and glossiness to the hair.
