Tips & Warnings
To use, pour half of the hair rinse over your hair, massaging gently. Wait ten minutes and repeat with the rest of the hair rinse.
Store the hair rinse in a plastic bottle if you intend to keep the hair rinse in the shower to avoid possibly dangerous broken glass.
Avoid storing or mixing any type of homemade skin or hair care products in an aluminum container, as there is serious concern about heavy metals entering the bloodstream through the scalp and pores.
