To make oat cream for hair, you'll simmer oats in water until a creamy liquid forms, which can then be strained and used as a hair treatment. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Steps to Prepare Oat Cream for Hair
-
Gather your ingredients: You'll need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (plain, unflavored)
- 2 cups of water
- A pot
- A strainer or cheesecloth
- A bowl
-
Combine oats and water in a pot: Pour the water into the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the oats to the simmering water.
-
Simmer the mixture: Let the mixture heat gently for 10 to 12 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent sticking.
-
Add more water if needed: If the mixture becomes too thick or dry during simmering, add a little more water to maintain a creamy consistency.
-
Cool and strain: Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl. This will separate the creamy liquid (oat cream) from the solid oat particles.
-
Use the oat cream: The oat cream is now ready to use as a hair rinse, mask, or leave-in conditioner. Apply to clean, damp hair. Leave it on for 10-30 minutes before rinsing, or use it as a leave-in by applying a small amount.
Why use oat cream for hair? Oat cream can help to moisturize, soothe irritated scalps, and add shine to hair.
