Sage Hair Rinse for Beautiful Shine

Hair products can be expensive, but it isn't necessary to spend hundreds of dollars for beautiful hair. There are natural infusions that you can make for beautiful hair without breaking your pocketbook or relying on something artificial.

For instance, did you know the herb, sage, can be used to make a great hair rinse that will add lustrous shine to your hair? It did for my hair.

Now, I will share this sage hair care secret I stumbled across, so you, too, can get beautiful, shiny hair for cents.

All you need is to take a handful of sage leaves. Either fresh sage or dried sage will work. You can buy sage in the herbs section of the supermarket, or you can grow sage by yourself. I would recommend putting a sage plant in your garden, because it is very easy to grow and doesn't require much care at all. You can pinch a couple sage leaves now and again for either this recipe or for cooking in the kitchen, and you'll know the sage you're using are fresh every time.

However, back to the sage hair rinse. Put the sage leaves into a very clean pot with about a quart of water and boil gently for about 10 minutes. Then, turn off the heat and let the sage leaves steep for about 15 minutes. It is important to give the sage leaves time to steep so all the fragrant and beneficial oils and sage juices can seep into the water.

After it has steeped a sufficient amount of time, drain the sage out and let the liquid cool. Pour this sage mixture over wet, freshly washed hair and let it sit in the hair a couple minutes.

Then, rinse with warm water. That's it! You should have shiny, beautiful hair now from the natural oils in the sage. The sage also leaves a pleasant, light fragrance that you can be assured is one hundred percent natural.

This sage infusion works great for me and I hope it works well for you, too. The trick to get beautiful hair for less is to experiment with off-brand products and home-made concoctions. The thing is that everyone's hair is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. You just have to see if it works for you. But the benefit of this sage recipe is that it is all-natural, so you know it isn't harming your hair. Enjoy!
