When you finish washing your hair, a herbal rinse can act like a natural conditioner — soothing the scalp, adding shine, reducing dandruff, and keeping your hair soft and strong.
Unlike chemical conditioners, herbal rinses are gentle, toxin-free, and full of natural nutrients that continue to nourish your hair even after drying.
A Herbal Rinse
A herbal rinse is simply a water-based infusion made by boiling or soaking herbs, flowers, or leaves in hot water and letting them cool.
After shampooing, you pour this herbal water over your hair as a final step — no need to wash it off again!
It seals the hair cuticle, restores pH balance, and gives your hair a soft, shiny finish.
