  A few drops goes a LONG way! 

How to improve my hair's health --- EASY HERBS 


  Burdock: root helps prevent dandruff

  Catmint: leaves encourage hair growth and soothes scalp irritations

  Chamomile: flowers soften and lighten hair

  Flannel Mullein: lightens hair

  Goosegrass: tonic and cleansing, helps prevent dandruff

  Henna: red hair dye and conditioner

  Horsetail: non-fertile stems and branches strengthens the hair

  Lavender: antiseptic, antibiotic, stimulates hair growth, and degreases

  Lime: flowers clean and softens

  Marigold: lightens hair color

  Nasturtium: for hair growth

  Parsley: enriches hair color and gives a nice luster

  Rosemary: tonic and conditioner, one of the best herbs to use, gives luster and body, also slightly darkens the hair. (This is good to use if you notice your hair lightening due to baking soda use.)

  Rhubarb: the root makes a yellow hair dye

  Sage: tonic and conditioning, darkens the hair

  Southernwood: encourages hair growth and helps prevent dandruff

  Stinging Nettle: tonic and conditioning and helps prevent dandruff

  Witch Hazel: leaves and bark are astringent and cleanses oily hair

Most recipes using these herbs call for dried or fresh, you can boil it into a tea and infuse it into your rinse routine (or make it a rinse all by itself). The oils will work as well, but make sure they're pure, and use very little. A few drops can go a long way!
