Resi-do-away Rinse

Wash away styling product residue.

This great after-shampoo rinse replaces that soapy residue build-up in your hair with pure shine. Rosemary stimulates the scalp and promotes hair growth.

Here's what you do:

Chop rosemary and place it in a jar. Fill jar with apple cider vinegar and store in a cool dark place for one week, shaking jar vigorously once a day to disperse the rosemary. After one week, strain liquid, discard rosemary and return liquid to jar. When ready to use, dilute 1/3 cup of liquid in three cups of warm water and rub into freshly shampooed hair. Rinse thoroughly.

You'll need:

2 springs fresh rosemary
1 cup apple cider vinegar
3 cups warm water

Do-It-Yourself Tips:

Try out your concoctions on an inconspicuous place like your forearm before you go slathering it all your body and have fun!
Use recipes with perishable food items such as eggs and veggies immediately or store in an airtight container up to one week in the frig.
Vodka, witch hazel, vinegar and lemon juice are natural preservatives and help extend the life of a DIY mixture.
Sugar and salt scrubs generally keep for a couple months as long as the container has a tight seal.
Store aromatherapy massage oils in a dark, well-sealed glass container for up to 6 months.
For gifts, consider separating the dry ingredients from the liquid and giving the recipient directions on how to mix them in one-use increments.
