- Wash your hair with your usual gentle shampoo.
- Apply a small amount of the cooled infusion to a limited area of the scalp first.
- If there is no irritation, you may use a small amount on the scalp, avoiding the eyes and broken skin.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Apply conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair if needed.
Do not leave the mixture on your scalp for a prolonged period, and do not use it if you experience burning, itching, redness, or swelling. A patch test cannot guarantee that an allergic reaction will not occur.
There is no established evidence-based frequency for this particular homemade infusion. Start cautiously rather than automatically applying it two or three times per week.
