Rosemary Rice Water Rinse

A refined scalp rinse for a fresh, fuller-looking finish.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp dried rosemary or 3 tbsp cooled rosemary tea
• 3 tbsp fresh rice water
• 1 tbsp aloe vera gel

Why These Ingredients

• Rosemary tea is traditionally used in scalp-care rinses for a fresh, herbal feel.
• Fresh rice water can help hair feel smoother and more polished after rinsing.
• Aloe vera adds a light conditioning feel and helps the recipe spread gently.

How to prepare

Mix the measured ingredients in a clean small bowl until smooth. Prepare fresh for one use only; do not store leftovers.

How to apply

1. Steep rosemary as a light tea first, then combine it with fresh rice water and aloe.
2. Pour slowly over clean scalp and roots, letting it run through the lengths.
3. Rinse after a few minutes if hair feels coated.

How long to leave on hair

Leave on hair/scalp for 10–20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and shampoo well if any oil, egg, yogurt, or honey remains.

Frequency of use

Use once weekly. For sensitive scalp, start every 2 weeks and stop if irritation appears.

Patch test note

Patch test behind the ear or on the inner arm for 24 hours before use. Avoid if you react to any ingredient; onion, egg, citrus, salt, and herbs can irritate sensitive scalp.
