I love watching your channel so much. Sometimes on days like this one, when I feel a little down and tired, I just play your videos and I find them so comforting and familiar and hopeful. I suppose it’s just your spirit and the spirit of nature ❤️🙏🏽
I made your shampoo recipe using rosemary, lavender and sage and just a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse as I didn't have the infused one ready yet. It has transformed my hair ❤. I've just made a new batch of shampoo using calendula, horsetail, rosemary, sage, chamomile - I find the whole experience so fulfilling and my aged hair has been brought back to life 😊 Thanks so much for your inspirating ideas ❤
Lovely! Just a little caution about using plastic and essential oils. Essential oils react with plastic so any product containing essential oils, should be kept only in the glass containers. And thank you for this lovely video. 💚
Dr. Robber’s shampoos have essential oils. Do you suppose that the kind of plastic the company uses for their essential oils shampoos is a special kind of plastic ?
Unless it is HDPE(#2 plastic. Which is stronger.) I learned the hard way. I used to mix up cleaning blends in bigger spray bottles and one day, found bottle leaking Everywhere.
Thank you for returning herbal product manufacture to everyday kitchens where it always was historically. No special equipment, no expensive consumer products, just everyday kitchens, a garden and home made , easy products for everyday use.
I steep a sprig of rosemary in 2 oz of water overnight in a mason jar and then keep it in the fridge. 2x a day I have been massaging my husband’s scalp and my own. Our hair is fuller now and I noticed mine growing much faster. I think my husband’s bald spots are reversing, but I’m not entirely sure because I’ve only been doing this a week. One bottle lasts about 3-4 days.
Rosemary Gladstar used to live in a nearby (to me in California) small town. This was back in the 1970's, she was so young and vibrant and had a little herb shop then too. She'd wear her black lace dress and dispense her knowledge with such wisdom and joy. So I love hearing about your using her recipes way over the pond in Ireland!
I just happened on your site Danu, and it is just what I needed. I am getting a bald spot near my crown and have heard that Rosemary is an excellent scalp stimulant. It's hereditary; my dad and brother balded young. I'm 78 and plan to do what I can to fight it! Thank you for all this information Danu. You are a very good teacher and a lovely lady. 😊🌻
I'll soon be 75 years old. My hair is about the same color as yours; except, my hair is very dry, dull, and breaks easily. Today is very windy; and, my hair is a mess every time I go outside. I am going to give this a try. I'll have to grow the rosemary first. I love the smell of rosemary. Your hair is beautiful. Thank you for this video.
Mostly I use birch leafs, golden rod, (for the platinum look ;) stinging nettle, chamomile, ( My mother used to rinse my hair with chamomile and I loved this floral scent) honey, burdockoil (chop up the roots from the first year plant, dry them in a dark place, cover them with almond, olive, jojoba,.....oil, close the glass firmly, keep it in a dark place for 4 weeks and shake from time to time. ) and exactly the same Soap :) And when the calendula blooms, I will definitely try your recipe. Our grandmothers often had no choice but to pick herbs. We do! have the choice! We can make so many things ourselves and share what we know and walk together a better and healthier way of living. I thank you with all my heart and everyone else too!!!
Last time I used vinegar on hair was when my daughter donated some head lice - yuk! But how that vinegar worked on us both! And our long hair was so smooth, soft and shiny. I don't use conditioner at all, but seeing this film is very inspiring and I'd like to start making my own shampoo. Thank you xxx
Ugh, wish I would’ve known that one when my son brought that hOMe twice🙈. In the states, the otc treatment is expensive & those combs get stolen from the shelved boxes🙊 I Love this channel🐬
The seeds of custard apple can be used for head lice. Crush them and grind into a paste with water (doesn't find entirely smooth, but do your best) apply onto the scalp and hair, put on a shower cap, leave it in for 30 minutes or overnight. Wash with any shampoo. Repeat after 3 days if any still left.
Bicarbonate of soda works ok for dandruff, wet hair and rub Bicarbonate of soda well into scalp, rinse well and dry. Do it regularly only using bicarbonate of soda, the scalp will begin producing natural oils, after a few weeks.
OMGosh!! This is the BEST shampoo recipe!! I used what I had in the garden: rosemary, sage and mint. My hair is so soft silky after using-unlike anything I’ve used from the store. It also helps me reduce my plastic waste. Thank you!!!
I have just tried this for the first time, I went in the garden and collected rosemary and sage, and added some drops of lavender essential oils and a teaspoon of argan oil shampoo, and made a rosemary rinse and oh my gosh. I had no idea it would work so well, it cleaned my scalp, I have little to no dandruff already and for the first time in ages my scalp isn't itchy. Thank you so so much for this, I am over the moon and my hair smells so nice!!!
Alrighty, I just made the hair rinse with rosemary, lavender, rose and lemon balm. It smells rich and I can’t wait to see the end product in 6 weeks! ☺️👍🏻👍🏻
I use rosemary and lavender from my garden to make infused whipped shea butter. Great for the hair and body! I use ACV to rinse my hair but never thought to infuse it. I will try this soon.
I use ALOT of rosemary as recommended by ny Wiccan friend (I'm celtic green pagan myself) and yes rosemary works!!!! My hair comes much thicker for winter and keeps my hair shiny even thoughbits dyed :)
Thank you for this wonderful video. You’ve inspired me to start looking into what I have here near me as far as local wild herbs I can use for hair. Not only is this a much more healthier more natural way to clean your hair, but also it helps you to become more self-sufficient. It helps you to become more self reliant, and to be able to live a good life without depending on stores, and modern technology. Much like our ancestors who produced their own food, built their own homes, made their own clothing and shoes and pretty much everything that they used and consumed
I'm a Cosmetologist. I see almost everyone has a nasty scalp condition nowadays. My client the other day told me he hasn't washed his hair in 5 years! It wasn't gross or smelly! I've tried that no shampoo thing before but I always fail. I'm tired of my dry itchy scalp, dry damaged hair. I'm trying it again because I'm allergic to everything.
Update: I just finished mixing up some of the shampoo. All I have on hand is dried herbs, too cold here for herbs except chives. Didn't think that was a good idea, ha! I measured out an ounce of herbs knowing it would be too much. I had to add more water as it absorbed nearly all the water, of course. I recently read Clary sage is good for hair, so added several drops of it and cypress essential oils and a natural facial oil I have on hand. It smells so nice! I was concerned it would smell like an Italian savory sauce, but it's a lovely wonderful earthy fragrance, like walking in woods. I actually have tried to duplicate that fragrance and here I stumbled upon it!. I cannot wait to use it and plan to use rosemary, Clary sage and cypress essential oils in my next batch of soap. I do not care for the odor of Castile soap, but is completely disappeared. Original: Those sound heavenly. Thank you! I have been making my own shampoo and body bar for several years but your recipe sounds lovely for a self care evening. Joanne, USA
I made a body scrubb with pure grey seasalt ( full of magnesium) olive oil,rosemary, and very fine chopped lemonskin. Scrub your body before bedtime with it, put on a pyama and leave it on your skin till the next morning. Then shower your body with luke warm water. Fantastic what it does with your skin.
I use onion skin, mint, sage, rosemary, coffee , tea, mugwort, and turmeric, in various combinations. What ever I have most of. I wash my hair with baby shampoo. I do this once a week. I like it better than dye's it doesn't bother my scalp. Love your channel.
I made this using rosemary, lavender and apple mint. For the oil, I used castor oil because it is good for hair growth. I washed my hair and it feels amazing- my scalp and hair. This is definitely going to be my go to shampoo now. Thank you! Do you happen to have recipes for a great deodorant and toothpaste?
I was wondering what other oil would be good to use! Thanks for sharing your experience with Castor oil. I've heart the same about its benefits to increase hair growth but wasn't sure if it would be too sticky to use in this shampoo.
I make my own toothpaste with Coconut Oil and Bicarbonate Soda…just add peppermint if want a minty taste Lol… my own shampoo next…because I don’t like going to big shops anymore. 🌻☘️
I use rosemary + cloves + bay leaves tea as a spray after washing my hair with organic olive oil and bay leaves soap and it's really amazing with hair growth & preventing the loss💕🌿🌱 I've just discovered your channel and I LOVE your videos so much ❤️ 😊
This was wonderful! Wanted to add that putting your rinse in the fridge solves the problem (for me) of needing to do a cold final rinse of the hair to close the shaft.
One thing I had to formulate on my own, as there wasn't much around on it, was a hair balm or styling pomade. I make it much like a traditional balm with a base of Olive Oil and Beeswax. Then I add in some oil of bergamot, rosemary, and tea tree to help keep the scalp healthy. Its works great! :)
I also created a pomade for my husband years ago, only I use coconut oil with beeswax, lavender, and rosewood. He still uses it every day. Good to know I'm not the only one.
I usually simmer rosemary in a pot for like a half hour to hour and then strain and add some apple cider vinegar, and yse it as a hair rinse. I never thought of making a shampoo, such a good idea. Im going to try it. 💜
I normally wash my hair with an all natural herbal shampoo bar and "condition" with a cooled rosemary and lavender tea with some rosemary oil and apple cider vinegar. I'll try infusing the herbs with the vinegar soon. I have a small child at home and still repurpose glass jars. I'm just careful to put everything out of reach or away so he can't get into it. 😉
My latest batch of homemade shampoo is a rosemary and horsetail blend. Horsetail for silica to keep my hair healthy and rosemary to keep it from thinning. A rinse I like is either made with nettle or a stimulating rosemary and peppermint mix in vinegar or sometimes lemon juice, water, and chamomile essential oil. I can gather horsetail on a nearby forest trail, but I now live in a condo so often purchase dried herbs to use. Watching you in your lovely garden makes me miss my large herb garden on my former homestead. Your vlog is a feast for heart and soul.
I use shampoobars to wash my hair, and then I’ve made a “mermaid”-hairspray with essential oils. It’s basically just rosemary, lavender & cedarwood and then fill the rest with water. Sometimes I put in a dash of witch hazel. but I love making them myself 🤗
Not herbal, necessarily, but here are a couple of things to try: weekly hot oil treatment - 1/4c coconut oil//0.5 tsp flax oil//0.5 tsp castor oil. Final rinse - fermented rice water. Great as facial toner too as it removes redness and calms the skin
When I converted to natural shampoo, my scalp and hair never feIt so clean and shiny, not to mention, I got my hairs natural texture back. It takes a few weeks, for some people even month to regulate the oils on the scalp and detox from shampoo “addiction “. I tried diluted Castile soap with other natural ingredients but made my scalp very itchy and didn’t like the feel of my hair. What worked for me was good old eggs or egg yolks, apple cider vinegar, rosemary and peppermint, lavender essential oil. Shook the bottle with the applicator and put it on the scalp and rubbed, then rinsed it with lukewarm water. Felt very very clean. Now I just use apple cider vinegar with essential oil and some nettle tea, rub it in my scalp and rinse.
The calendula is a beautiful shade of orange! I have used my liquid laundry soap with success and will now move on to shampoo - this was great advice and example. Thankyou! (Canada)
Hi Terri.Oh! How lovely!.I can almost smell the beautiful aromas of the shampoo through the screen. Your hair is proof of how these wonderful natural ingredients enhance the beauty of hair! Your hair is beautiful, and looks so healthy and soft. I will be trying this,. Thank you as always for your fantastic and interesting video. Have a happy week:)
I use 1 teaspoon of dried stinging nettle leaves (organic) in large bowl and add boiled water. When water is luke warm, drain the leaves and then I dunk my whole head in the stinging nettle water, using my hands to rub into scalp. I don’t rinse, just air dry - it does an excellent job- hair is very clean & very easy to do- I’ve heard you can use other teas & I’ve tried using dried dandelion leaves, did a good job cleaning my hair, but it made my blond highlights to brassy . Also do not attempt to brush wet hair after washing with stinging nettles - wait until it’s 80% dry then brush- if hair is to dry or frizzy after it has dried ( as mine is without commercial conditioner), I use a silk bonnet & or silk hair ties overnight . This works a treat.
I make rosemary and sage hair rinse and it goes on straight after I've washed my hair, and leave in for a few mins then squeeze out. I leave it to seep in HOT water over night before usage
I'm absolutely going to try this. I just buzzed my hair to get rid of all chemical color. My natural is mostly silver with some dark. I want to encourage growth. Hopefully the rosemary doesn't darken my silver ☺️
Have you ever considered using soapwort in your herbal shampoos? I was looking into herbs that contain saponins and saponins are actually named after soapwort because of its official name, saponaria officinalis. Soapwort is also native to the uk and Europe which I was glad to hear
Thanks for replying! I've used soapwort in my own shampoo for a few weeks now and it works quite well. I boil rainwater with calendula petals, oats, flaxseeds, soapwort and lavender. Sometimes I add apple cider vinegar if my hair is particularly in need of a deep clean... im currently at the six month mark of no shampoo or conditioner, and I've finally found a recipe that works for me. Your videos were a big help in that. Thank you.
Helo Turtle face, I use soapwort as well. I simmer for about 20 minutes with rosemary and then add an essential oil afterwards. It keeps very well and for my fine hair, I use it every now and again, as I find it doesn't give a thick look to it. But I might try some more herbs to add to help remedy that.
Lovely idea. The good news is i ordered plantain from etsy in florida and planted 2 that are doing well. You called it the bandaid. I am excited hope it lives through winter. You are inspirering thank you!!!
Thank you so much, I love your recipes. My grandma used herbs for me when I was child instead of commercial products. Your recipe with rosemary is additional plant to them what I just new. Thank you.
Thank you for this, I will give it a try as soon as I need. I've taken to using bar shampoos to reduce my plastic purchases. Rosemary grows well in my current garden and although I'm a natural blonde (whose hair color is naturally evolving as I age) I like using a rosemary tea as a rinse. Smell is wonderful and it makes my hair feel extra silky.
Very nice. I also put herbs like tulsi, or yarrow flowers...or whatever is available at the time. In the winter I pull out some of my dried herbs and flowers and use them. Lavender is one that really gives a nice fragrance even through the vinegar scent.
At 1:00 in the morning, can't sleep, I found you! Thank Mother. I love your channel and have subscribed and I can't wait to try your recipes. We have loads of herbs in our garden in North Wales and they are going to be utilised now, thanks to finding you. Lovely lady... bless you xxx
Terri, you are such an inspiration to me! I am going to make both of these as soon as I get home on Saturday. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and knowledge with us!
Great video, as usual. I learned so much and I'm going to give it a shot. Your comments about so-called natural ingredients remind me about what you said in your video about making laundry soap, that just because something is recommended as good for your hair doesn't mean anything really. The man who cuts my hair recommended that I take some kinds of supplements to help my thinning hair and a "purple shampoo" to prevent brassy tones in my lightening hair. I was about to go buy these products until I saw this. You are the one I trust!
@@DanusIrishHerbGardenThanks for taking the time to respond . I'll look into the B vits. He suggested Rogaine. which I have not investigated. My opinion is still that what nature gives us is always the best place to start, especially with what you say about Rosemary's long history. (I had a Rosemary plant when I was living on my boat because it is so salt tolerant. Rosemary is Rosmarinus, dew of the sea). I also want to avoid the shampoo he mentioned, and all shampoos really as I'm learning from you about what commerical shampoos do to your hair. I already have everything on hand to make this, even rosemary, which doesn't grow where I live, I can purchase at my local market. Thank you again for making your experience and wisdom available to us.
I made the shampoo with calendula, rosemary, rose buds, and lavender. I'm very happy with how my hair feels. I used an acv rinse, but I have a jar of it infusing with lemon balm, rosemary, and lavender.
I live in North Carolina USA, and can't locate calendula or chamomile flowers for the highlights. But one herbal shop sells them in dried form. Would the dried herbs works?
I have dark hair. So what I do aside from using Aleppo soap as my "shampoo", I make a mixture of henna powder, coconut oil, honey, and an infusion of Roselle flowers. I mix it and let it sit for however long I have time (between an hour to overnight) and then I apply the paste onto and into my hair, and leave that on for however long I have time..(between an hour to overnight) the longer it all sits, the more intense the reddish hues.. but I only want a slight reddish effect so I never leave it for very long. I will wash it all out with my Aleppo soap, and then use the rest of the roselle infusion as a rinse so as not to waste whatever was leftover in making the henna paste. I've noticed my hair is a lot healthier and doesn't fall out like it used to. As for a "conditioner" (its really not needed, but makes my hair shiny) I use a hair oil of some type. Sometimes a plain argan oil or sometimes it's a rosemary (and other herbs) infused almond oil. on a regular wash day, I'll just use Aleppo soap and then the hair oil.
Thank you Danu for your scented shampoo recipe. Here is one for you. To make natural soap, whole Soap-nuts and whole Shikaki you can purchase them from Amazon or any East Indian store because the products are from India. Wash about 12 Soap-nuts and 4 pieces of Shikaki, boil in 2 cups of water until it is soft, foamy and a thick consistency of about 1 cup. Let sit overnight, strain and infuse with any herb or scented oil. Bottle and keep in the fridge .Feels great on the scalp. PS. Do not use powder only whole ingredients because powders do not produce the same results, it is impossible to strain, very messy.
Loved this, I collect river water because of all the great benefits of the water to rinse my hair or just let it set in my hair and since I've done that my hair has grown fast...would love to try this out, thanks for sharing your ideas...
Interesting recipe that I'll try when I run out of mine. The one I made was regular cold process with gentler oils for hair and butters and the hers Rosemary and Nettle included in the trace. First try, I see I should have infused them. I never thought of the castile soap for the hair, mine need lots of moisturizer so I don't know how it'd react. And I use my rinse with 1 part of apple cider vinegar for 7 parts of distiled water. I should add the herbs there too to increase the effects. It's a brilliant idea, thanks!
I make my own solid shampoo great as no bottle.... using herbs rosemary lavender peppermint seaweed and fermented rice water leaves my hair soo very soft
I am happy to share my recipe what type of hair do you have so can give you the correct recipe as I have a couple... also do you have an email address I can send the soapcalc printout.
Also I always use a acv rinse, bout one fourth acv w warm water great f itchy scalp n dandruff I f also use the castile soap, especially on private parts, as t not irritate I'm also changing over t all plant base products I'm noticing itching n stuff don't have a garden like u but will do my best just boughtva rosemary plank U are a godess! We are bout same age n I have silver hair n some platlin😮🎉
I've started making my own hair oil infused with rosemary, cloves and coconut oil or olive oil. I find it works with reducing frizz and making my hair shiny. I've only been using it for a year and I've never looked back. I'm excited to try this out☀️
This is lovely! I started using rhassoul clay to wash my hair months ago and it’s been working beautifully. I just put some clay in a jar and shake it up with some distilled water and rosemary essential oil. After watching this I think I’ll infuse the water with some calendula that I have prior to mixing. Also I have been using a flaxseed gel as a daily hair mask to strengthen my hair. I always love hearing new ideas and I’m very grateful for this video and your channel as a whole. 💕
@@hikerx9366 You will find it in the fridge in health food shops. It should be kept in fridge otherwise it goes rancid. It's new to me to hear it's good for hair growth. But so much is, after reading all these notes. This is such a great site.
Oh I know who Rosemary Gladstar is! She collaborates with Mountain Rose Herbs in Oregon, US. I’ve watched her videos and have purchased many products from Mountain Rose Herbs. Thank you Terry for these great ideas! I will get started today on the rinse and shop for some Castile soap next week for the shampoo recipe. Bright blessings to you ♥️🌱♥️
I've made "my" version of both products and LOVE them omgoddess! Surprisingly the vinegar did Not strip my bright pink & purple. I've left the vinegar in overnight & my hair was almost Too soft. Took days to Mohawk it again😂 Your channel & products are fantastic TY💜💛
@@DanusIrishHerbGardenwow u have NO IDEA how much More i like you rn! You have an awful lot of subscribers. TY for caring enough & appreciatimg each one of us to like & welcome me! So impressed rn❤❤
I am very excited, have calendulas and rosemary in garden.. we are in summer so fortunate I came across your site this morning... I have made your recipient, haven’t had so much fun in years!! Thank you
I love using herbs for things other than flavoring food. I have not made shampoo for years. I think I will now. Thanks for the push I needed to start this wonderful experience again. Cheers from Long Island USA
German Chamomile helped with the health of my blonde hair and scalp, at 67 years old. Quite a bit of silver hairs and occasional skin rashes, Brings out the blonde. Switched to a shampoo with no nasty additives, no paraffin, sulfates etc.
Hey Terri, I love your channel, been watching for a while now, very relaxing, nourishing and knowledgable. I tried Castile shampoo for my hair recently but it’s just stays in the hair and doesn’t rinse out even if I use ACV after. I also heard soap isn’t good for the hair and scalp as it makes the PH too alkaline when it needs to be slightly acidic. Your hair looks so lovely and healthy I was wondering what you use to wash your hair with?
I use my own home made shampoo or occasionally an organic shampoo from the health shop and I use my ACV rinse almost every time. It does take some time to adjust from the commercial shampoos so be patient. xx
Lovely tutorial, I'm going to make this tomorrow. Got rosemary in garden and lots calendula's in polytunnel. I've never used rosemary on my hair as I thought it was just for dark hair but now I'm white I'll give it a go!!! I love your site, very informative., thankyou.
I use a rosemary nettle bar on my hair and have for years but I find it be a little drying so I am anxious to try this especially since I can make it myself! I always look forward to your videos :)
You can add some hibiscus leaves to overcome the dryness. Rosemary used to dry my hair as well but after using hibiscus it became very soft and fluffy because hibiscus is conditioning.
I add rosemary oil to my shampoo which is vegan. Your hair is beautiful Terri....mine is natural grey....it looks platinum as does yours! My hair is three feet long and I am growing to four ft. Love your site! Subbed.🐝🦋💜🦋🐝
Wow, I love this. I'm going to try it. I was just questioning today to myself about getting more natural shampoo without all the suds. How funny I found your video today. Thank you!
Lovely! Decades ago I had Phillips Beck's Herbs, Health and Cookery- which had since lovely recipes for hair and body care products. I made many herbal vinegars, nettle and horsetail were 2 she suggested as well. I've been using a bar shampoo that I quite enjoy - but can't use the accompanying conditioner, as it has wheat germ oil and that makes my scalp itchy! Calendula and Rosemary shipping like a lovely combo
Thank you Terri! 🙂 I think this may be a higher power tapping me on the shoulder. I just read similar information a couple days ago. Message received!😉 Love and blessings! 💜
Well, since all the other recipes you have shared have turned out so wonderfully, I am totally going to try these as well! Thank you for another great video!❤️😊❤️
I really enjoyed making homemade soap from one of your previous videos and would love to give this a go too. I couldn’t agree more with your comments on commercial shampoos & conditioners. I found that commercial shampoos tangled up my hair necessitating the purchase of a conditioner to detangle ( capitalism at its work!). However, when I switched to natural shampoo bar made from natural oils and herbs I didn’t have this problem. Like you say, there is some adjustment to be made getting used to less lather & bubbles from the natural product but my hair is in way better condition. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching your channel so much. Sometimes on days like this one, when I feel a little down and tired, I just play your videos and I find them so comforting and familiar and hopeful. I suppose it’s just your spirit and the spirit of nature ❤️🙏🏽
You are so kind. I am so glad to hear you enjoy the channel and that you find the films comforting. Blessings!
I was just thinking the same thing myself. I'm nursing a migraine and have been listening to all of the Danu videos because they're so soothing 🌼
I agree 😅❤🎉
Interestingy
To learn,
Aaaaaw what you just said gave me goose poles and so I hear you!
I made your shampoo recipe using rosemary, lavender and sage and just a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse as I didn't have the infused one ready yet. It has transformed my hair ❤.

Your own hair is a good promotion for herbal shampoo and rinse. I will give it a whirl.
Do! You will def see a difference in condition.
I agree, Terri your hair always looks so healthy and strong.
Lovely! Just a little caution about using plastic and essential oils. Essential oils react with plastic so any product containing essential oils, should be kept only in the glass containers. And thank you for this lovely video. 💚
Dr. Robber’s shampoos have essential oils. Do you suppose that the kind of plastic the company uses for their essential oils shampoos is a special kind of plastic ?
True. Plastic ruins everything.
I was going to say something too. I do mix them in a plastic bottle for cleaning..but I only make a small amount and use it every time
Unless it is HDPE(#2 plastic. Which is stronger.) I learned the hard way. I used to mix up cleaning blends in bigger spray bottles and one day, found bottle leaking Everywhere.
@Julia Obregon yes it has to be #2/HDPE plastic
Thank you for returning herbal product manufacture to everyday kitchens where it always was historically. No special equipment, no expensive consumer products, just everyday kitchens, a garden and home made , easy products for everyday use.

It's hereditary; my dad and brother balded young. I'm 78 and plan to do what I can to fight it!
Thank you for all this information Danu. You are a very good teacher and a lovely lady. 😊🌻
I'll soon be 75 years old. My hair is about the same color as yours; except, my hair is very dry, dull, and breaks easily. Today is very windy; and, my hair is a mess every time I go outside. I am going to give this a try. I'll have to grow the rosemary first. I love the smell of rosemary. Your hair is beautiful. Thank you for this video.
Mostly I use birch leafs, golden rod, (for the platinum look ;) stinging nettle, chamomile, ( My mother used to rinse my hair with chamomile and I loved this floral scent) honey,
burdockoil (chop up the roots from the first year plant, dry them in a dark place, cover them with almond, olive, jojoba,.....oil, close the glass firmly, keep it in a dark place for 4 weeks and shake from time to time. ) and exactly the same Soap :) And when the calendula blooms, I will definitely try your recipe.

@@blueocean2510 Interesting, thank you for sharing.
Rosemary,calendula flowers, 8 oz water,put in the container, infuse for 30 minutes , 3 oz castillo soap after ,beauty oil, and essentials al oils,
another plant that’s great to put in the hair rinses is horse tail. it strengthens your hair
That's right, he is full of silica

Alrighty, I just made the hair rinse with rosemary, lavender, rose and lemon balm. It smells rich and I can’t wait to see the end product in 6 weeks! ☺️👍🏻👍🏻
I'm going to make these today ! I have to smile at the versatility, hair rinse or salad dressing, dual purpose..! 💜
I use rosemary and lavender from my garden to make infused whipped shea butter. Great for the hair and body! I use ACV to rinse my hair but never thought to infuse it. I will try this soon.
I'm growing rosemary & lavender for cooking, but I may try that too. Nice idea.
How do you make the Shea butter.
I must agree with Lynn Hill ,your hair is a wonderful advert .Will try this when the Calendula flowers
Thank you Mary!
I use a base of Miracle ll then use oils for my shampoo and body wash.
I'll have to add some actual herbals too. Thanks
My hair has grown tinsels (not grey, lol), and it's naturally curly. Nothing commercial works right. I'll try this!
I use ALOT of rosemary as recommended by ny Wiccan friend (I'm celtic green pagan myself) and yes rosemary works!!!! My hair comes much thicker for winter and keeps my hair shiny even thoughbits dyed :)
Rosemary is a wonder for the hair. x
Hello. Could you please tell me How did you prep and use your Rosemary on your hair? Thank you
Thank you for this wonderful video. You’ve inspired me to start looking into what I have here near me as far as local wild herbs I can use for hair. Not only is this a much more healthier more natural way to clean your hair, but also it helps you to become more self-sufficient. It helps you to become more self reliant, and to be able to live a good life without depending on stores, and modern technology. Much like our ancestors who produced their own food, built their own homes, made their own clothing and shoes and pretty much everything that they used and consumed
I'm a Cosmetologist. I see almost everyone has a nasty scalp condition nowadays. My client the other day told me he hasn't washed his hair in 5 years! It wasn't gross or smelly! I've tried that no shampoo thing before but I always fail. I'm tired of my dry itchy scalp, dry damaged hair. I'm trying it again because I'm allergic to everything.
absolutely, Karina! a much higher quality of life in your own hands.
Update: I just finished mixing up some of the shampoo. All I have on hand is dried herbs, too cold here for herbs except chives. Didn't think that was a good idea, ha! I measured out an ounce of herbs knowing it would be too much. I had to add more water as it absorbed nearly all the water, of course. I recently read Clary sage is good for hair, so added several drops of it and cypress essential oils and a natural facial oil I have on hand. It smells so nice! I was concerned it would smell like an Italian savory sauce, but it's a lovely wonderful earthy fragrance, like walking in woods. I actually have tried to duplicate that fragrance and here I stumbled upon it!. I cannot wait to use it and plan to use rosemary, Clary sage and cypress essential oils in my next batch of soap. I do not care for the odor of Castile soap, but is completely disappeared.
Original: Those sound heavenly. Thank you! I have been making my own shampoo and body bar for several years but your recipe sounds lovely for a self care evening. Joanne, USA
I made a body scrubb with pure grey seasalt ( full of magnesium) olive oil,rosemary, and very fine chopped lemonskin. Scrub your body before bedtime with it, put on a pyama and leave it on your skin till the next morning. Then shower your body with luke warm water. Fantastic what it does with your skin.
I use onion skin, mint, sage, rosemary, coffee , tea, mugwort, and turmeric, in various combinations. What ever I have most of. I wash my hair with baby shampoo. I do this once a week. I like it better than dye's it doesn't bother my scalp. Love your channel.
Fantastic, I love your combinations. The sky is the limit!
Just wondering what does the coffee do for hair? I have never heard of using it in shampoo. You have peaked my intrest
This sounds very interesting. Can you elaborate abit more on how you make this up and how long you leave it on for? I would love to try it!
I made this using rosemary, lavender and apple mint. For the oil, I used castor oil because it is good for hair growth. I washed my hair and it feels amazing- my scalp and hair. This is definitely going to be my go to shampoo now. Thank you! Do you happen to have recipes for a great deodorant and toothpaste?
I was wondering what other oil would be good to use! Thanks for sharing your experience with Castor oil. I've heart the same about its benefits to increase hair growth but wasn't sure if it would be too sticky to use in this shampoo.
Hi ! I love this idea ! Do you have the portions to your shampoo or instructions ?? Thanks 🥰
It’s in the drop down section below the video@@nazarethpenarodriguez9519
yes, please do share the recipe. It sounds fantastic!
I make my own toothpaste with Coconut Oil and Bicarbonate Soda…just add peppermint if want a minty taste Lol… my own shampoo next…because I don’t like going to big shops anymore. 🌻☘️
I use rosemary + cloves + bay leaves tea as a spray after washing my hair with organic olive oil and bay leaves soap and it's really amazing with hair growth & preventing the loss💕🌿🌱
I've just discovered your channel and I LOVE your videos so much ❤️ 😊
This was wonderful! Wanted to add that putting your rinse in the fridge solves the problem (for me) of needing to do a cold final rinse of the hair to close the shaft.
I remember the very first video I watched had me thinking how lovely your hair is. I wondered what you used. Now I know! Thank you!
when I speak of my formerly brown hair I call it my crone crown.. Love this thank you so much for all you do!!
This has been a manifestation to a request. 😍🙏
I have always admired your lovely hair. It's beautiful 😍
Thank you Sandra🙏
One thing I had to formulate on my own, as there wasn't much around on it, was a hair balm or styling pomade. I make it much like a traditional balm with a base of Olive Oil and Beeswax. Then I add in some oil of bergamot, rosemary, and tea tree to help keep the scalp healthy. Its works great! :)
Ooh oil of bergamot! I didn’t think of that one to use! I love bergamot
You should sell that!! I would buy it!!
I also created a pomade for my husband years ago, only I use coconut oil with beeswax, lavender, and rosewood. He still uses it every day. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Have you a recipe with specific amounts please? If not fair enough..bet you smell lovely as you waft on by
I usually simmer rosemary in a pot for like a half hour to hour and then strain and add some apple cider vinegar, and yse it as a hair rinse. I never thought of making a shampoo, such a good idea. Im going to try it. 💜
Do you use just the rosemary leaves or include the stems? Thanks☺
I normally wash my hair with an all natural herbal shampoo bar and "condition" with a cooled rosemary and lavender tea with some rosemary oil and apple cider vinegar. I'll try infusing the herbs with the vinegar soon.
I have a small child at home and still repurpose glass jars. I'm just careful to put everything out of reach or away so he can't get into it. 😉
Your rinse sounds lovely!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden thanks. I have fine curly hair.
My latest batch of homemade shampoo is a rosemary and horsetail blend. Horsetail for silica to keep my hair healthy and rosemary to keep it from thinning. A rinse I like is either made with nettle or a stimulating rosemary and peppermint mix in vinegar or sometimes lemon juice, water, and chamomile essential oil. I can gather horsetail on a nearby forest trail, but I now live in a condo so often purchase dried herbs to use. Watching you in your lovely garden makes me miss my large herb garden on my former homestead. Your vlog is a feast for heart and soul.
So glad to hear you are enjoying the videos xx
I use shampoobars to wash my hair, and then I’ve made a “mermaid”-hairspray with essential oils. It’s basically just rosemary, lavender & cedarwood and then fill the rest with water. Sometimes I put in a dash of witch hazel.
but I love making them myself 🤗
It is very satisfying and then you can never go back to the shop kind
Not herbal, necessarily, but here are a couple of things to try:
weekly hot oil treatment - 1/4c coconut oil//0.5 tsp flax oil//0.5 tsp castor oil.
Final rinse - fermented rice water. Great as facial toner too as it removes redness and calms the skin
Perfect - thanks! xx
When I converted to natural shampoo, my scalp and hair never feIt so clean and shiny, not to mention, I got my hairs natural texture back. It takes a few weeks, for some people even month to regulate the oils on the scalp and detox from shampoo “addiction “. I tried diluted Castile soap with other natural ingredients but made my scalp very itchy and didn’t like the feel of my hair. What worked for me was good old eggs or egg yolks, apple cider vinegar, rosemary and peppermint, lavender essential oil. Shook the bottle with the applicator and put it on the scalp and rubbed, then rinsed it with lukewarm water. Felt very very clean.
Now I just use apple cider vinegar with essential oil and some nettle tea, rub it in my scalp and rinse.
Old fashioned shampoo that worked for thousands of years!
The calendula is a beautiful shade of orange! I have used my liquid laundry soap with success and will now move on to shampoo - this was great advice and example. Thankyou! (Canada)
Go for it Miriam! Brilliant to hear.
I just got rosemary and calendula seeds. Can't wait to make these!
if you want rosemary faster, 4 inch pieces root easily in water.
Hi Terri.Oh! How lovely!.I can almost smell the beautiful aromas of the shampoo through the screen. Your hair is proof of how these wonderful natural ingredients enhance the beauty of hair! Your hair is beautiful, and looks so healthy and soft. I will be trying this,. Thank you as always for your fantastic and interesting video. Have a happy week:)
You too! Blessings x
Will definitely make that shampoo, I have all the ingredients. I have used ACV as a hair rinse with some lemon juice and it is great for the scalp.
I haven't had access to fresh herbs for a while. But I used to use aloe vera juice with essential oils as a hair rinse. It was lovely.
Sounds great! xx
I’ve always used a chamomile rinse with witch hazel. I may spread my wings a bit and try this!
Hi! I just started witch hazel and I love it! Except the smell... it almost makes me sicky feeling to smell. Any suggestions?
I just found your site today!! Wonderful!! I love the way you pronounce your words. I am from the USA.
I use 1 teaspoon of dried stinging nettle leaves (organic) in large bowl and add boiled water. When water is luke warm, drain the leaves and then I dunk my whole head in the stinging nettle water, using my hands to rub into scalp. I don’t rinse, just air dry - it does an excellent job- hair is very clean & very easy to do- I’ve heard you can use other teas & I’ve tried using dried dandelion leaves, did a good job cleaning my hair, but it made my blond highlights to brassy . Also do not attempt to brush wet hair after washing with stinging nettles - wait until it’s 80% dry then brush- if hair is to dry or frizzy after it has dried (
as mine is without commercial conditioner), I use a silk bonnet & or silk hair ties overnight . This works a treat.
I make rosemary and sage hair rinse and it goes on straight after I've washed my hair, and leave in for a few mins then squeeze out. I leave it to seep in HOT water over night before usage
I'm absolutely going to try this. I just buzzed my hair to get rid of all chemical color. My natural is mostly silver with some dark. I want to encourage growth. Hopefully the rosemary doesn't darken my silver ☺️
Use Chamomile instead!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Wonderful. Thank you!
Have you ever considered using soapwort in your herbal shampoos? I was looking into herbs that contain saponins and saponins are actually named after soapwort because of its official name, saponaria officinalis. Soapwort is also native to the uk and Europe which I was glad to hear
I have Soapwort outside the back door. I use it to make washing up liquid and hand cleanser. Still experimenting!
Thanks for replying! I've used soapwort in my own shampoo for a few weeks now and it works quite well. I boil rainwater with calendula petals, oats, flaxseeds, soapwort and lavender. Sometimes I add apple cider vinegar if my hair is particularly in need of a deep clean... im currently at the six month mark of no shampoo or conditioner, and I've finally found a recipe that works for me. Your videos were a big help in that. Thank you.
Helo Turtle face, I use soapwort as well. I simmer for about 20 minutes with rosemary and then add an essential oil afterwards. It keeps very well and for my fine hair, I use it every now and again, as I find it doesn't give a thick look to it. But I might try some more herbs to add to help remedy that.
I’m a bloke and even I’m won over by this! Thanks again for the wisdom good Terri!
Lovely idea. The good news is i ordered plantain from etsy in florida and planted 2 that are doing well. You called it the bandaid. I am excited hope it lives through winter. You are inspirering thank you!!!
Good luck!
Ty I’m so happy I found this video and this lovely lady .
Thank you so much, I love your recipes. My grandma used herbs for me when I was child instead of commercial products. Your recipe with rosemary is additional plant to them what I just new.
Thank you.
Thank you for this, I will give it a try as soon as I need. I've taken to using bar shampoos to reduce my plastic purchases. Rosemary grows well in my current garden and although I'm a natural blonde (whose hair color is naturally evolving as I age) I like using a rosemary tea as a rinse. Smell is wonderful and it makes my hair feel extra silky.
Wonderful! xx
Very nice. I also put herbs like tulsi, or yarrow flowers...or whatever is available at the time. In the winter I pull out some of my dried herbs and flowers and use them. Lavender is one that really gives a nice fragrance even through the vinegar scent.
Lavender is wonderful!
At 1:00 in the morning, can't sleep, I found you! Thank Mother. I love your channel and have subscribed and I can't wait to try your recipes. We have loads of herbs in our garden in North Wales and they are going to be utilised now, thanks to finding you. Lovely lady... bless you xxx
Hi Jay!
Terri, you are such an inspiration to me! I am going to make both of these as soon as I get home on Saturday. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and knowledge with us!
Good for you. Try them xxx
Great video, as usual. I learned so much and I'm going to give it a shot. Your comments about so-called natural ingredients remind me about what you said in your video about making laundry soap, that just because something is recommended as good for your hair doesn't mean anything really. The man who cuts my hair recommended that I take some kinds of supplements to help my thinning hair and a "purple shampoo" to prevent brassy tones in my lightening hair. I was about to go buy these products until I saw this. You are the one I trust!
Some supplements could help, B vits such as Biotin but Rosemary has a long long history of restoring hair xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGardenThanks for taking the time to respond . I'll look into the B vits. He suggested Rogaine. which I have not investigated. My opinion is still that what nature gives us is always the best place to start, especially with what you say about Rosemary's long history. (I had a Rosemary plant when I was living on my boat because it is so salt tolerant. Rosemary is Rosmarinus, dew of the sea).
I also want to avoid the shampoo he mentioned, and all shampoos really as I'm learning from you about what commerical shampoos do to your hair.
I already have everything on hand to make this, even rosemary, which doesn't grow where I live, I can purchase at my local market. Thank you again for making your experience and wisdom available to us.
I made the shampoo with calendula, rosemary, rose buds, and lavender. I'm very happy with how my hair feels. I used an acv rinse, but I have a jar of it infusing with lemon balm, rosemary, and lavender.
This is a godsend. I've had a fungal infection on my scalp for a while now and your remedy sounds perfect.
I live in North Carolina USA, and can't locate calendula or chamomile flowers for the highlights. But one herbal shop sells them in dried form. Would the dried herbs works?
@@debraelramey5254 I am sure they will try and lets us know.
I have dark hair. So what I do aside from using Aleppo soap as my "shampoo", I make a mixture of henna powder, coconut oil, honey, and an infusion of Roselle flowers. I mix it and let it sit for however long I have time (between an hour to overnight) and then I apply the paste onto and into my hair, and leave that on for however long I have time..(between an hour to overnight) the longer it all sits, the more intense the reddish hues.. but I only want a slight reddish effect so I never leave it for very long. I will wash it all out with my Aleppo soap, and then use the rest of the roselle infusion as a rinse so as not to waste whatever was leftover in making the henna paste. I've noticed my hair is a lot healthier and doesn't fall out like it used to. As for a "conditioner" (its really not needed, but makes my hair shiny) I use a hair oil of some type. Sometimes a plain argan oil or sometimes it's a rosemary (and other herbs) infused almond oil. on a regular wash day, I'll just use Aleppo soap and then the hair oil.
Sounds divine!
I use rosemary as I have a massive bush and it is helping my hair stay brunette and not grey.
Rosemary is excellent for dark hair for that reason.
So glad I found this channel.
As I can see that you have lovely shiny hair and a healthy competition, I will most Definitely try this recipe! Thank you 🌻
Thank you for sharing these recipes, and explaining how they work.
Thank you Danu for your scented shampoo recipe. Here is one for you. To make natural soap, whole Soap-nuts and whole Shikaki you can purchase them from Amazon or any East Indian store because the products are from India. Wash about 12 Soap-nuts and 4 pieces of Shikaki, boil in 2 cups of water until it is soft, foamy and a thick consistency of about 1 cup. Let sit overnight, strain and infuse with any herb or scented oil. Bottle and keep in the fridge .Feels great on the scalp. PS. Do not use powder only whole ingredients because powders do not produce the same results, it is impossible to strain, very messy.
Thank you. We have some Asian stores in the city that sell all kinds of eastern goodies so perhaps they will have these. I will give it a try.🙏
Loved this, I collect river water because of all the great benefits of the water to rinse my hair or just let it set in my hair and since I've done that my hair has grown fast...would love to try this out, thanks for sharing your ideas...
You're welcome!
Interesting recipe that I'll try when I run out of mine. The one I made was regular cold process with gentler oils for hair and butters and the hers Rosemary and Nettle included in the trace. First try, I see I should have infused them. I never thought of the castile soap for the hair, mine need lots of moisturizer so I don't know how it'd react. And I use my rinse with 1 part of apple cider vinegar for 7 parts of distiled water. I should add the herbs there too to increase the effects. It's a brilliant idea, thanks!
I have thick natural curly hair! I love ACV rinse as it really takes off excess build up from the commercial soap! Thank you for the recipes! ❤️
You are welcome Sara. ACV rinse is so good! xx
What a lovely lady! Thank you for sharing!
I make my own solid shampoo great as no bottle.... using herbs rosemary lavender peppermint seaweed and fermented rice water leaves my hair soo very soft
Wonderful - maybe leave the recipe? I would love to try a solid shampoo.
I am happy to share my recipe what type of hair do you have so can give you the correct recipe as I have a couple... also do you have an email address I can send the soapcalc printout.
@@adriennewilliss9058 I would also love to see your recipe it sounds very interesting.
Also I always use a acv rinse, bout one fourth acv w warm water great f itchy scalp n dandruff
I f also use the castile soap, especially on private parts, as t not irritate
I'm also changing over t all plant base products
I'm noticing itching n stuff don't have a garden like u but will do my best just boughtva rosemary plank
U are a godess! We are bout same age n I have silver hair n some platlin😮🎉
I've started making my own hair oil infused with rosemary, cloves and coconut oil or olive oil. I find it works with reducing frizz and making my hair shiny. I've only been using it for a year and I've never looked back. I'm excited to try this out☀️
This is lovely! I started using rhassoul clay to wash my hair months ago and it’s been working beautifully. I just put some clay in a jar and shake it up with some distilled water and rosemary essential oil. After watching this I think I’ll infuse the water with some calendula that I have prior to mixing. Also I have been using a flaxseed gel as a daily hair mask to strengthen my hair. I always love hearing new ideas and I’m very grateful for this video and your channel as a whole. 💕
Thank you Melanie, glad to hear that. x
Flaxseed gel, that sound interesting what exactly is it and did you notice substantial hair growth ? If so that's amazing.
@@hikerx9366 You will find it in the fridge in health food shops. It should be kept in fridge otherwise it goes rancid. It's new to me to hear it's good for hair growth. But so much is, after reading all these notes. This is such a great site.
Oh I know who Rosemary Gladstar is! She collaborates with Mountain Rose Herbs in Oregon, US. I’ve watched her videos and have purchased many products from Mountain Rose Herbs. Thank you Terry for these great ideas! I will get started today on the rinse and shop for some Castile soap next week for the shampoo recipe. Bright blessings to you ♥️🌱♥️
And Blessings to you too MrsMMcG, have a great day!
I've made "my" version of both products and LOVE them omgoddess! Surprisingly the vinegar did Not strip my bright pink & purple. I've left the vinegar in overnight & my hair was almost Too soft. Took days to Mohawk it again😂 Your channel & products are fantastic TY💜💛
Welcome and glad you are enjoying the channel xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGardenwow u have NO IDEA how much More i like you rn! You have an awful lot of subscribers. TY for caring enough & appreciatimg each one of us to like & welcome me! So impressed rn❤❤
I am very excited, have calendulas and rosemary in garden.. we are in summer so fortunate I came across your site this morning... I have made your recipient, haven’t had so much fun in years!! Thank you
Oh good to hear! It is fun making your own body care. xx
I make nettle vinegar and use it after conditions my hair, it make it Shiney and soft.
Nettle vinegar is a marvel - full of vitamins!
I have plenty of nettles. How do you make nettle vinegar? (I'm new to this and not sure of quantities!)
Hi ,I am from România and live here in North Ireland from 16 years ,I am so happy to discover your Chanel! ❤️💐🍀🌹
Hello and welcome!
I love using herbs for things other than flavoring food. I have not made shampoo for years. I think I will now. Thanks for the push I needed to start this wonderful experience again.
Cheers from Long Island
USA
German Chamomile helped with the health of my blonde hair and scalp, at 67 years old.
Quite a bit of silver hairs and occasional skin rashes, Brings out the blonde. Switched to a shampoo with no nasty additives, no paraffin, sulfates etc.
Hey Terri, I love your channel, been watching for a while now, very relaxing, nourishing and knowledgable.
I tried Castile shampoo for my hair recently but it’s just stays in the hair and doesn’t rinse out even if I use ACV after.
I also heard soap isn’t good for the hair and scalp as it makes the PH too alkaline when it needs to be slightly acidic.
Your hair looks so lovely and healthy I was wondering what you use to wash your hair with?
I use my own home made shampoo or occasionally an organic shampoo from the health shop and I use my ACV rinse almost every time. It does take some time to adjust from the commercial shampoos so be patient. xx
Trying this today 🤩 I live in Bermuda and I am tired of spending so much money on natural hair products!!
Lovely tutorial, I'm going to make this tomorrow. Got rosemary in garden and lots calendula's in polytunnel. I've never used rosemary on my hair as I thought it was just for dark hair but now I'm white I'll give it a go!!! I love your site, very informative., thankyou.
Thanks for the thumbs up Cjristine!
The books arrived! Thankyou!🙏🏻
So glad to hear. I hope you enjoy them💚💞
I use a rosemary nettle bar on my hair and have for years but I find it be a little drying so I am anxious to try this especially since I can make it myself! I always look forward to your videos :)
Thank you!
You can add some hibiscus leaves to overcome the dryness. Rosemary used to dry my hair as well but after using hibiscus it became very soft and fluffy because hibiscus is conditioning.
I add rosemary oil to my shampoo which is vegan. Your hair is beautiful Terri....mine is natural grey....it looks platinum as does yours! My hair is three feet long and I am growing to four ft. Love your site! Subbed.🐝🦋💜🦋🐝
I love Rosemary Gladstar too! Love the content here! Keep up the awesome wonderful work!
She is wonderful!
Wow, I love this. I'm going to try it. I was just questioning today to myself about getting more natural shampoo without all the suds. How funny I found your video today. Thank you!
Thank You Terri...Love and Happy Mother's Day...
Many Happy Returns Forest BirdGirl💚
Lovely!
Decades ago I had Phillips Beck's Herbs, Health and Cookery- which had since lovely recipes for hair and body care products.
I made many herbal vinegars, nettle and horsetail were 2 she suggested as well.
I've been using a bar shampoo that I quite enjoy - but can't use the accompanying conditioner, as it has wheat germ oil and that makes my scalp itchy! Calendula and Rosemary shipping like a lovely combo
I looove her she is fantastically wonderfully superb!!!!
Thank you Terri! 🙂
I think this may be a higher power tapping me on the shoulder. I just read similar information a couple days ago. Message received!😉
Love and blessings! 💜
Enjoy the process xx
Love this thankyou for the different hair reccomendations, im going to try adding the chamomile and lemon rind!
You can play with these recipes to suit your hair colour and condition.
Well, since all the other recipes you have shared have turned out so wonderfully, I am totally going to try these as well! Thank you for another great video!❤️😊❤️
Great! Glad you have been trying other things too. x
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I can’t wait to try your recipes!
Grey, no , silver, no, platinum YES!💋
YES!
I have used a vinegar rinse occasionally. This sounds wonderful! I’m going to give it a go with these plants from my garden. Thanks
Great! Try lots of plants!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden can you recommend a plant for dry scalps? Very interested in joining your online lesson in February
THANK YOU...that is WHAT I was looking to find. YES.
I really enjoyed making homemade soap from one of your previous videos and would love to give this a go too. I couldn’t agree more with your comments on commercial shampoos & conditioners. I found that commercial shampoos tangled up my hair necessitating the purchase of a conditioner to detangle ( capitalism at its work!). However, when I switched to natural shampoo bar made from natural oils and herbs I didn’t have this problem. Like you say, there is some adjustment to be made getting used to less lather & bubbles from the natural product but my hair is in way better condition. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome Feeonagh. Once you get over the adjustment you get used to it.😃
