Hair Beautifull
 
Okay, we will have to face facts that this chat group is mostly combination of women. Though we do have some male member's they are pretty much Ghosts to us.
On that note, as women we fuss and complain, cause we can't find the right product for our hair to get it to do what we want it to so that it looks good.
We also have issues  (especially if you are like me ) With the cost, now this is something the men can agree on . We spend so much money on hair care products to get them home, we use them for the week trial period and then if they dont' work we go out and get something else, meanwhile we load our bathrooms up with all sorts of shampoo bottles, cause we just can't find what we are looking for and it gets costly,.
So lets be Thrifty, or frugal and make our own. Our ancestors did this. And though they didn't usually live past the age of fity LOL They were able to get their hair into all sorts of contorted designs.
We must not forget when making our own that hygine is always a must. It helps to keep us healthy and keeps away unwanted germs, and bugs.
 
So lets get busy. This is the opening to making your own Hair care products. GOOD LUCK. And let me know how they turn out if you do.
 
 
 
 
 
Basic Hair Rinse

1 oz herbs of your choice
1 pint water
4 teaspoons of Borax

Infuse herbs in boiling water in a covered non-metalic container until liquid has cooled. Strain, add borax.
Use cold as a rinse.
 
Beer Rinse

1 oz water
2 teaspoons Cider Vinegar
7 drops Lemon essential oil
1 ounce Beer
5 drops Rosemary essential oil
5 drops Calendula essential oil (optional for blondes)

Mix all ingredients together. Use as a final rinse, rinse well. Stale beer is fine to use. Adds protein to make hair shiny and make it feel thicker
 
Herbal Essences Hair Rinse

1/2 cup dried Rosemary
1/2 cup dried Red Clover
1/2 cup dried Nettle
1/2 cup dried Sage (for dark hair)
1/2 cup dried Chamomile (for light hair)
1/2 cup dried Witch Hazel (for oily hair)
1/2 cup dried Marigold (for dry hair)

Mix together herbs and store in a covered, light-proof container. Before you shampoo, take 1/4 to 1/2 cups herbs and add to 2 cups water in an enamel pot. Cover pot, bring to slow boil, simmer a few minutes, remove from heat and proceed to shampoo your hair. After last rinse, strain herbs from pot, add enough cold water to herbal brew to rub into scalp and proceed to rinse hair. Catch drippings in pot and keep pouring them through your hair until all are used. You may now either rinse your hair with clear water or omit water rinse. Makes 2 cups rinse, enough for 4 to 8 after-shampoo rinses
