How to Make Almond Oil and Chamomile Hair Rinse

Almond oil and chamomile hair rinse is a simple, easy to prepare homemade remedy for dry hair that needs moisture added to it. This often happens in the cold fall and winter months, when high winds and cold temperatures sap the moisture from your hair. This hair rinse recipe makes enough for about ten applications, though it is easily doubled. It also makes a great gift, especially when packaged in a customized bottle and wrapped with a bow.

Things You'll Need

• 10 tbsp. sweet almond oil
• 30 drops chamomile essential oil
• 20 drops sandalwood essential oil

Instructions

1. Put the almond oil in a small saucepan and warm over low heat for about one minute.

2. Add the chamomile essential oil the saucepan and heat for an additional minute.

3. Transfer the hair rinse to a sterilized spray bottle and set aside to cool at room temperature.

4. Add the sandalwood essential oil to the spray bottle and replace the cap. Shake vigorously and place in a cool, dry place for 24 hours before the first use. Shake gently before each use.

Tips & Warnings

• Spray the almond oil and chamomile hair rinse over the hair and wrap a towel around your head for about 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

• Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade hair or skin care products in aluminum containers, as there is serious concern about heavy metals entering the bloodstream through the scalp.
