Sage and rosemary hair rinse


Use sage (purple sage is best) as a hair rinse for brunettes and those with dark hair turning grey. This hair rinse is on page 132 of The Herb Book by Elizabeth Peplow but I have adapted it using fresh sage and rosemary. Place a handful (around 30 sage leaves) with a handful (30 fresh sprigs) of rosemary and three teabags in an earthenware jug (I used a plastic one, I'm afraid). Add 1 litre of boiling water. Strain into an earthenware jug through muslin. Cover and allow to cool. Use as a final rinse after shampooing your hair. (Pour it over your hair into a basin, so you can repeat the process several times).
