Tips & Warnings
Pour the hair rinse over your hair in the shower and let it work for about 5 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Use approximately 1 cup of the hair rinse per treatment.
Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade hair care products in an aluminum container, as there is some concern about heavy metals entering the skin through pores and scalp.
