Herbal Hair Rinse

Learn how to brew a simple herbal rinse for softer, shinier hair, and discover the one ingredient that adds lasting shine after every wash, in just a few minutes.

Basic Recipe Basics

Start with half a liter of water, add ten to twenty grams of your chosen herb, bring it to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer for ten to twenty minutes before cooling.

Water Amount

Each rinse uses exactly five hundred milliliters of water, which is enough to cover shoulder-length hair without waste, and works well for most hair types.

Herb Weights

Measure your herbs by weight: fifteen grams of reetha shells, ten grams of amla pieces, ten grams of hibiscus flowers or five grams of powder, and fifteen grams of black tea leaves.

Reetha Dose

Reetha works best at fifteen grams per half-liter, giving a gentle, natural cleansing foam that leaves hair feeling fresh, without stripping moisture, for oily scalps.

Making the Rinse

First soak the dried herbs overnight, then combine them with the water in a pot, bring to a boil, lower the lid half-on, simmer for the set time, turn off the heat, cover and let it rest for thirty minutes before straining through a cloth.

Two-Minute Version

If you’re short on time, just pour boiling water over fifteen grams of tea leaves or ten grams of hibiscus flowers in a jar, cover and steep for thirty minutes; the brew cools quickly enough to use right after shampooing.

The one tip for shine

For lasting shine, leave a chai or amla rinse in your hair after washing, simply blot excess with a towel and let it air-dry; the herbs deposit a faint, natural sheen that stays without extra rinsing.
