Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of dried sage or 2-3 fresh sage leaves
- Your regular shampoo
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sage Infusion: Boil a cup of water and add the dried sage or fresh sage leaves. Let it steep for about 10-15 minutes until the water cools down and is well infused with sage.
- Strain the Sage: Strain the liquid to remove the sage leaves, leaving you with a sage-infused water.
- Mix with Shampoo: Add 1-2 tablespoons of the sage-infused water to your regular shampoo. Shake the bottle well to mix thoroughly.
How to Use:
- Apply the Shampoo: Wet your hair as usual and apply the sage-infused shampoo. Massage it into your scalp and hair, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed.
- Leave It On: Let the shampoo sit in your hair for about four minutes. This gives the sage pigments time to work on your gray hairs.
- Rinse and Condition: Rinse your hair thoroughly and follow up with your regular conditioner.
