Making rosemary water with essential oil for hair is a simple process involving diluting the oil in water for use as a hair rinse or spray. Here’s how:
Steps to Make Rosemary Water with Essential Oil:
- Boil Water: Bring 100ml (approximately 1/2 cup) of water to a boil.
- Add Rosemary Essential Oil: Turn off the heat and add 15 drops of rosemary essential oil to the hot water.
- Stir and Cool: Stir the mixture well to help disperse the oil. Allow the rosemary water to cool completely.
- Transfer to a Container: Transfer the cooled rosemary water into a clean spray bottle or jar for easy application.
Important Considerations:
- Essential Oil Quality: Use high-quality, pure rosemary essential oil for the best results.
- Dilution is Key: Essential oils are potent. Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to your scalp, as this can cause irritation. This recipe provides a safe dilution.
- Patch Test: Before using the rosemary water all over your scalp, perform a patch test on a small area to check for any allergic reactions.
- Storage: Store your rosemary water in a cool, dark place. It's best to use it within a week or two to maintain its freshness and potency. Refrigeration can help extend its shelf life.
How to Use Rosemary Water on Your Hair:
- As a Rinse: After shampooing and conditioning, pour the rosemary water over your hair, making sure to saturate your scalp. Gently massage your scalp for a few minutes. Do not rinse out.
- As a Spray: Spray the rosemary water directly onto your scalp and hair. Massage your scalp gently. You can use it daily or a few times a week.
