Rosemary Softening Rinse

(good for all hair types; gives hair luster and body)

  • 1/2 cup rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon borax
  • 4 cups distilled or spring water

Bring water to a boil, then remove from heat. Add herbs and borax. Stir, cover and steep for approximately 2 hours. Strain through a coffee filter twice and bottle. Use within 10 days or discard.

To use, shampoo and condition as usual, then use softening rinse as a final rinse. Use about 1/2 to 1 cup. Do not rinse out. Style as usual. NOTE: Consider using older and/or darker towels when drying hair as softening rinse might stain.
