If you have struggled with your hair, be it texture, thickness, or shine, try this apple cider vinegar hair rinse. The healing power of this rinse is life-changing.
NOTE: You will need a large glass jar with a plastic lid. Or you can cover the jar with a cloth secured with a rubber band. Do not use a metal lid as the vinegar will destroy the metal.
STEEP HERBS IN VINEGAR. In a large glass jar, add chamomile, calendula, lavender, horsetail, nettle leaf, and marshmallow root. (You can use dried herbs, which are more accessible or opt for fresh herbs, if you have them available.) Shake the jar. Then, add apple cider vinegar. Allow jar to sit in a dark space for about 2 weeks.
STRAIN AND ADD ESSENTIAL OILS. After the mixture has had time to become potent, strain the herb water into a jar and discard the herbs. Add lavender and rosemary essential oils. Then add living silica, if desired. This is your undiluted tonic. It will stay good for a long time.
NOTE: Do not dilute rinse in water until you are ready to use it. Diluting the formula early will make it go bad quickly.
USE AS A RINSE. When ready to use, take 1/4 cup of mixture and dilute it in water. Apply to the hair and scalp as a rinse. You can leave it in to fully absorb into your hair and scalp.
USE AS A TONIC. You can also use the concentrated potion directly on your scalp without diluting it. Simply take a tablespoonful and put it at the top of your head. Allow the formula to roll over your scalp and spread it to different areas. You can apply it around the edges of your scalp along your hairline. You do not need to rinse. Let the mixture soak in to your skin.
NOTE: If you have eczema or psoriasis, do not allow this mixture to touch any area you have a rash. It will burn. If your head and scalp are rash free, you can use gloves to apply it to your scalp.
