Fresh balance

Rosemary Green Tea Rinse

Light scalp refresh.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp dried rosemary or 3 tbsp cooled rosemary tea
  • 3 tbsp cooled green tea
  • 1 tbsp aloe vera gel

Why These Ingredients

  • Rosemary tea is traditionally used in scalp-care rinses for a fresh, herbal feel.
  • Green tea creates a light, fresh-feeling rinse that suits roots that feel heavy quickly.
  • 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. Apply to scalp, roots, or lengths as the recipe title suggests.
  2. Keep the mixture away from eyes and broken or irritated skin.
  3. Massage very gently; do not scrub the scalp.

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.
