Main ingredients:
  • ½ cup cooled lavender tea
  • 1 teaspoon finely ground oat flour or colloidal oats
  • 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel
  • Optional ¼ cup cool water

Why this rinse is gentle

Lavender tea gives this pre-wash rinse a calm spa feeling, while oats make the mixture feel soft and cushioned. Aloe vera gel adds slip. This is a cosmetic comfort ritual for the scalp and lengths, not a treatment for dandruff, hair loss or scalp disease.
