025. i put weird crap in my hair and whip my hair back and forth?

Soooo the other night, on Design Sponge as I was going back through many of the pages that I have missed, I came upon a post that suggested ways to keep your hair from going all crispy in the winter. I found this fantastic homemade rosemary oil recipe that I whipped up and tried on my hair.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh rosemary leaves (you will only need the needles, not the stems)
2/3 cup carrier oil of choice (can be olive, almond, grape seed or apricot kernel oil)



Preparation:
1. Fill a small pot with 2 to 3 inches of water, bring just to the boiling point over medium-high heat.
2 Place rosemary needles and oils in a glass heatproof jar or a glass measuring cup with a spout. Put the jar into the pot (the water should come about mid-way up the jar; alternately, you ca warm the oil and needles in a double boiler).
3. Heat until the oil and needles are warm. Remove from heat, strain off needles and allow the oil to cool slightly.



Application:
4. Apply the oil to dry hair, massage into scalp, comb hair from scalp to ends to coat evenly.
5. Put either a plastic bag or a shower cap over your hair. Cover with a bath towel.
6. Leave the treatment on for at least an hour or even overnight.
7. Shampoo the oil out. you may need to shampoo twice to thoroughly remove.
8. Style as usual.

And basically that's it, which rules. It smelled good enough that Aadi kept trying to lick my head, she likes anything food oriented. But either way, it was nice.

And sidenote, I had to wash my hair three times. Stupid olive oil.

Haircare, Jordan.
