Goldilocks' Herbal Hair Rinse for Blonde Hair
Made with Oatstraw, Elder Flowers, Lemon Peel, Calendula Flowers & Mullein Leaf from Mountain Rose Herbs. |
Whether you're a 'No Poo' enthusiast who treats shampoo like a nemesis, or a bubbly wash-and-rinse warrior, you're going to fall head over heels for this herbal hair rinse. Crafted especially for the blondes and light-haired beauties out there, this rinse is as easy to whip up as your morning cup of herbal tea!
But don't let its simplicity fool you. This concoction is a bona fide hair superhero, swooping in to cleanse, shine, and rejuvenate your tresses. It's like a spa day for your hair, minus the extravagant bill!
This recipe yields enough potion for one to two rinses, depending on how generous your hair is. But hey, whether you're sporting a chic bob or a Rapunzel-esque mane, there's no such thing as too much pampering, right?

Place the dried herbs into a large French Press with 2 1/2 cups of boiling water.
Allow the dried herbs to infuse the water for at least 30 minutes up to 1 hour. Strain the liquid from the herbs.
Look at how beautiful this herbal infusion is!!!! Perfect for blonde hair!!!
The way I like to use this is to add about 1 1/4 cups of the hair rinse to a spray bottle. After I cleanse and towel dry my hair, I drape my towel over my shoulders and mist the entire bottle of hair rinse through my hair while combing it through. I pat my hair dry to absorb any extra hair rinse and then allow my hair to naturally air dry. I get a ton of compliments when I walk in the sunshine. The other day a kind lady told me my hair is like spun gold. Store the remaining hair rinse in the fridge and use within three days. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays and thaw it out when you are ready to use it.
Cheers!!!
