How to use herbs for hair?

Using herbs is not at all difficult, just boil them with boiling water, in the ratio of 2 tablespoons of herbs to a glass (200 ml) of water. For hair of medium length, one liter of decoction is enough. 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.
