Prep Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Recipe Category: Bath/Beauty
Yield: 1 treatment
Description:
This simple and effective hair rinse, inspired by a recipe from a book by someone named Bubbles, is a beloved choice for enhancing brunette hair. It not only adds a lovely sheen but also subtly covers greys. The rinse is designed to wash out over time, making it a gentle and temporary solution for richer, more vibrant hair.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon rosemary (fresh or dried)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white)
- 1/4 cup strong coffee (cooled)
- 2 vitamin E capsules
Instructions:
-
Steep the Rosemary: Start by steeping the rosemary leaves in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm, which should take about 30 minutes. This step infuses the water with the rosemary’s natural properties, which can help in enhancing hair color and shine.
-
Prepare the Rinse Solution: In a spray bottle, combine the lukewarm rosemary infusion with 1/4 cup of cooled strong coffee and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. The coffee helps to deepen the color, while the vinegar adds shine and helps to balance the pH of your scalp.
-
Add Vitamin E: Break open the vitamin E capsules and squeeze the contents into the spray bottle. Vitamin E is known for its nourishing properties, which can help to improve the overall health of your hair.
-
Mix the Ingredients: Secure the cap on the spray bottle and shake well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly. This ensures that the vitamin E and other components are evenly distributed.
-
Apply the Rinse: Wrap a towel around your neck to protect your clothes. Hold the spray bottle about 6-8 inches from your hair and spray the rinse generously over your entire head. Be sure to work the rinse in thoroughly, ensuring it reaches down to the roots.
-
Let It Sit: Allow the rinse to sit in your hair for about 30 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to work their magic, enriching your hair and enhancing its color.
-
Rinse and Shampoo: After 30 minutes, rinse your hair thoroughly with water. Follow up with your regular shampoo and conditioner to remove any residual rinse and to keep your hair feeling fresh and clean.
Notes:
- This rinse is best used once a week or as needed, depending on how often you want to enhance your hair color.
- Always do a patch test before using new products to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
Enjoy your natural, vibrant brunette hair with this easy and inexpensive rinse that fits perfectly into any beauty routine! 🌿☕✨
