Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 Cups of Baby Shampoo
• 1 Cup of Water
• 1 Tablespoon of Dried Sage
• 1 Tablespoon of Dried Rosemary
• 5 Drops of Lavender Oil

1. Bring the water to a boil, then quickly remove from the heat and add in the sage and rosemary. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture to make sure the rosemary and sage doesn't just float at the top. Put the lid over the pot.

2. Wait about one hour, allowing the herbs to steep properly in the water.

3. Once the hour is up, strain the mixture into a medium or large mixing bowl.

4. Add in the lavender and baby shampoo, and gently stir the mixture together gently.

5. Pour the mixture into a cleaned out shampoo bottle, or lotion bottle. When using, just use 1 Tablespoon and massage into the hair. Wait 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

6. In between uses, store the shampoo in the fridge. It will stay fresh for about 4 weeks.
