 Fabulous
Rinse For Dark Hair (The
Queen Of Hungary's Water)
- BY ERZEBETTE
P. |

Hey, your site is great so I
wanted to contribute a tip!
For the cost of a few herbs
and a bottle of vinegar you can make a wonderful rinse for dark
hair that also doubles as a good astringent lotion. The herbs
are common, so it is simple and cheap to make.
- 6 parts lemon balm
- 4 parts chamomile
- 1 part rosemary
- 3 parts calendula
- 4 parts roses
- 1 part lemon peel
- 1 part sage
- 3 parts comfrey leaf
- vinegar (white or apple cider)
- rose or witch hazel extract
- optional- essential oils such
as lavendar, rose,
jasmine, etc.

1. Place all the herbs in a
large glass jar (you will need to have a tightly fitting lid)
Pour the vinegar on top of the herbs until it reaches an inch
or two above the herbal mixture. Screw the lid on tightly and
allow the jar to sit in a warm spot for two to three weeks. (trust
me, it's worth the time and trouble)
2. When at least two weeks have
passed strain the mixture, reserving the liquid. For each cup
of the herbal vinegar add 1/2 to 1 cup of either rose water or
witch hazel. If you would like to add a few drops of essential
oil, feel free.
Pour the mixture into a bottle
or jar that can be resealed. The finished product will stay preserved
indefinitely and needs no refrigeration. |

Recipe
for Perfect Hair - BY
LESLIE with beautiful hair |
- Ingredients:
"Hope Conditioner"
2 whole eggs
1 tbsp light olive oil
Mix together. Pour over hair. Massage. Leave on about 20-30 min
while washing other parts, shaving legs, etc. Rinse. Shampoo
as usual.

- Build-Up Remover
Ingredients:
2 cups warm water
1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh lemon is best)
Mix together. Pour over hair. Massage gently. Let sit 15 min.
Rinse.
Usually no need to condition.
I've done it. It works! Makes
hair grow faster too. If using for faster growth of hair, stick
with it about once a week. Trust me, you'll notice results within
30-60 days. Also doesn't hurt to take a folic acid, vitamin E
and niacin supplements. Or prenatal vitamins work too. |
