Mint Green Tea Aloe Scalp Rinse

Why this rinse fits a warm-weather wash day

Cooled green tea gives the ritual a clean, light feel, mint makes the rinse feel fresh, and aloe vera gel adds slip. This is a cosmetic rinse for a comfortable wash-day finish, not a remedy for shedding, dandruff or scalp conditions.

Recipe ingredients

• 1/2 cup cooled green tea
• 1/2 cup cool water
• 1 teaspoon plain aloe vera gel
• 3–4 fresh mint leaves, lightly bruised, then strained out

How to prepare it

1. Steep green tea, cool it fully, then dilute with cool water.
2. Add mint leaves for 5 minutes only, then strain them out.
3. Whisk in aloe vera gel until the liquid looks even.
4. Pour into a clean applicator bottle and use the same day.

How to use it

1. After shampooing, apply the rinse to scalp and lengths.
2. Leave on for 2–3 minutes while gently massaging with fingertips.
3. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water.
4. Condition the lengths if hair needs more softness.
