How to Make an Herbal Dandruff Rinse

Dandruff is annoying and embarrassing, but often, commercial dandruff products aren't effective, and the strong chemicals are hard on your scalp and dry out your hair. Herbal dandruff rinses treat dandruff safely, and will leave your hair smelling great.

Things You'll Need

• Saucepan
• 2 cups water
• 1 tsp. dried lemon balm, or 1 tbsp. fresh lemon balm
• 1 tsp. dried chamomile or 1 tbsp. fresh chamomile
• 1 tsp. dried red clover or 1 tbsp. fresh red clover
• 1 tsp. dried peppermint or 1 tbsp. fresh peppermint

Instructions

1. Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.

2. Put the lemon balm, chamomile, red clover and peppermint in a large glass mixing bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Allow the herbs to steep in the water for 15 minutes. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and allow the mixture to cool, then pour it in a plastic bottle and put it in the refrigerator.

3. Open the can or bottle of beer and set aside long enough to go flat. Pour the flat beer in a separate plastic bottle and put it the refrigerator.
