Rosemary Hair Rinse!!

This post is a lot different than my past posts, but I thought I would do this one anyways.
I have been using this hair rinse I created for the past few months and really noticed a difference when I stopped using 2 weeks ago.
It sounds gross but your hair does feel amazing after the first few weeks of using it.


It is a rosemary vinegar rinse, here is how to do it:

-White Vinegar
- Rosemary
-A jar
-A squeeze bottle

First you need some rosemary, I used about 4 sprigs. After you wash them, put them in a mason jar, or a glass container with a lid. Boil some water and pour into the jar. (You are essentially making tea with rosemary). After a few minutes, put the lid on it and let it steep for a day, or until it cools completely.
After it is completely cool, use a fine mesh strainer to get all the stuff out of the water. (YOU WANT TO KEEP THE WATER. You can do one of two things. You can either use this as your rinse (i just did this for the first few months), or you can add some white vinegar. I did not measure anything I just eye balled it, so I diluted the vinegar with water, then added my rosemary water. You want about 1/3 diluted vinegar and the rest rosemary water. I keep the rinse in a plastic water bottle in the shower, and use it after I shampoo.

The white vinegar strips shampoo buildup without harsh chemicals, the rosemary makes the hair soft, smooth, and less frizzy.
If you want you can add essential oils. Just keep in mind, I have darker blonde hair, it did slightly tint my hair (it was subtle though).
All those people concerned with the smell of vinegar. Don't use this last (after conditioner), you can use it before or after shampoo, and no, you can not smell it in your hair.
