Chamomile Hair Rinse
Prep Time 15 minutes
Steep For 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Makes 2 -3 treatments

Equipment

  • tea pot, glass jar or large mug

Ingredients
  

  • 3 heaped tsp chamomile tea preferably organic & loose-leaf
  • 375ml / 1½ cups water

Instructions
 

How to make it

  • Boil water and let it cool down to about 80°C / 175°F. Meanwhile, put loose chamomile tea into a strainer or use 1 tea bag instead (or 2 for stronger).
  • Pour water over the chamomile tea and let it steep for a while. I just brew the tea in my teapot.
    Infuse for at least an hour or until it's cooled down to about 38°C / 100°F. I prefer infusing it overnight and warming it up the next morning.
  • Remove the tea strainer or tea bags and either use the chamomile hair rinse right away or keep it in the fridge.

How to use it

  • As hair rinse/conditioner: After you’ve washed your hair, slowly pour chamomile hair rinse several times over your hair and scalp. Gently massage it in from the roots to the ends. Leave it in for at least 15 minutes before rinsing it out.
    Tip: take a large bowl into the shower to catch the chamomile tea running down your hair. You can reuse it again.
  • As hair mask: Pour the chamomile hair rinse into a large bowl. Dip the ends of your hair in first and saturate them. Using a cup or your hands, pour the tea over your whole head. Make sure all of your hair is completely drenched. Massage it in from the roots down to the tips. Gently wring out any excess chamomile tea.
    Put on a shower cap and leave the hair mask in for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. Then wash and condition your hair as usual.

Notes

  • If you’ve got some leftovers, you can store them in a glass jar in the fridge for at least a week.
