To brew the herb, you need to pour boiling water over it and boil for another 10-15 minutes, and then let it infuse and cool. When the broth has cooled, it must be filtered and already rinsed with it.

How I do it: I wash my head in the morning, so I brew the broth in the evening, and in the morning I warm it up and after all the procedures (shampoo, mask or balm), rinsing takes place. But, I do not just water my hair with a decoction, I dip it into the decoction and hold it for 5-10 minutes, so that even the scalp is in the decoction, you can even massage it a little more.
