For lustrous, bouncy and healthy hair, we do many things. We want thick, long, shiny and manageable hair. What many people usually do is check for expensive hair care products which can do this job for them but there are affordable best remedies for the same.
Herbs and other natural ingredients can really do much more than you can expect. So, next time instead buying those products, try to use them. Opt for a herbal shampoo, conditioner and your homemade herbal hair rinse. Here are 5 such herbal homemade hair rinse recipes I’m sharing below of which ingredients are easily available and easy to make.
How to Use It?
Using it is very easy; you just need to shampoo with a gentle herbal shampoo as usual and then condition your hair with a good herbal conditioner. Then rinse your hair with this homemade hair rinse as a final rinse. You have two choices. If you want, you can leave the rinse on your hair or just wash it after some time. You can rinse it after 15 minutes or even an hour; it totally depends on your wish. Use hair rinse only once or twice a week but not too often if it contains vinegar since on regular use, vinegar can be drying. While making this recipe, always make small batches of it to keep it fresh always. Use only filter water or mineral water instead of tap water to make it.
