Rosemary Hair Treatment
Take care of your body with steadfast
fidelity. The soul must see through
these eyes alone, and if they are dim,
the whole world is clouded.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
From Chamomile Times
Use this rinse to darken, condition and tone hair.
Hot Method:
Fill a jar with fresh rosemary and cover with sunflower or almond oil. Place the jar up to the neck in a saucepan of water and bring to a medium temperature. Simmer for up to three hours. Strain through filter paper or cloth into a brown glass bottle.
Cold Method:
Follow the instructions above, except that the oil should be placed on a sunny windowsill for up to three weeks instead of heated.
The process can be repeated with the strained oil infusion and a fresh supply of herbs to make a stronger oil.
To Use:
Work the oil into the hair, then cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Relax in a warm place with a good book for 30 minutes to an hour, then shampoo.
For External Use Only!
