Tips & Warnings
To apply, massage the mixture into the hair and onto the scalp. Massage the scalp gently for 3 to 5 minutes and brush hair with a soft comb. Do not rinse the hair tonic out.
Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade cosmetics in an aluminum bowl or container, as there is serious concern about heavy metals entering the body through the scalp and pores.
