Herbal Cleansing Conditioner - Formula

Inspired by Better Basics for the Home by Annie B. Bond (Three

Rivers Press, 1999).

Simple Solution

This refreshing formula will moisturize and smooth your hair, gently

cleanse your scalp, and impart a delicate and soothing herbal scent,

all at the same time. In fact, this smells so good, you may find

that people will want to hug you longer!

 

A natural humectant, a pH balancer, and a lovely herbal ingredient

all combine to make this wonderful formula. Read it here:

 

INGREDIENTS

 

1/4 cup dried lavender

6 ounces boiling water

2 ounces glycerin

1 ounce lemon juice

 

1. Put the lavender in a lidded jar and cover with boiling water.

Cover and allow to steep overnight, then strain out the flowers (you

can dry them for another use), retaining the lavender water.

 

2. In a lidded jar, place the lavender water, glycerin, and lemon

juice and shake to blend.

 

3. Apply about 1/4 cup of this mixture to clean wet hair, then rinse

with warm water.

 

Makes 1 cup, and keeps for a week or so.
