Green Tea
Green Tea is a fantastic antioxidant and natural antiseptic. It can help restore balance and soothe irritated skin.
Green tea can also help stimulate hair growth, reduce shedding, and calm dandruff and psoriasis.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar aids in supporting healthy skin and hair.
Used topically on the scalp, it exfoliates dull, dry skin, adds body to your hair and makes it nice and shiny.
It also restores the pH balance of the scalp and discourages overgrowth of malassezia furfur, the yeast-like fungus thought to trigger dandruff.
Make sure you purchase a high quality apple cider vinegar.
I like this apple cider vinegar from Bragg Live Foods best.
It is available at most grocery stores, but you can also order online.
Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary can stimulate hair growth and slow shedding, helps with dandruff, and gives hair body.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender stimulates hair growth and calms dry, itchy scalp.

I just did it and hair feel good!! how do you sabe leftovers? how many times a week should you use it? Thanks!
I use an apple cider vinegar rinse once every 7-10 days. I store any leftovers in a glass jar.
I wish I can thank you in person how much this rinse has helped me. Before using this rinse, my hair was itchy, flakes often fall out, and I would feel disgusted and upset about my hair. Ever since I use this rinse (with slight changes), my hair is rarely itchy, flakes hardly fall out (expect by the 3rd day – but that’s my hair’s cue to wash it), and I feel much comfortable. I follow this recipe to the T expect I omitted rosemary because I find my hair slightly itches. But the positive effects also worked without using any of the essential oils.
What I do is I wash my hair twice a week. When I started this rinse, I would use do it twice a week (so every time I washed my hair). After a couple of months, I began to use the rinse once a week and with a regular shampoo. This is the way I wash my hair now and it works great for me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for curing the problem that has haunted me for 4 years now.
You’re welcome!
Do you store the leftovers in the refrigerator? I did not, and there appeared to be mold growing in the jar. Is there a way to avoid this in the future?
I did not store mine in the refrigerator, but it would be fine to do that. I haven’t had issues with mold.
I just want to make sure I’m understanding correctly … Do I use this in place of regular shampoo or shampoo like normal then add the green tea apple cider mix
Thanks so much!
I use it as a rinse after shampooing like normal. I do not use it every day.
Thanks for getting back to me! Excited to try. Have you ever also put thyme essential oil with it?
I haven’t tried Thyme essential oil but I have read that it is also good for hair and scalp. Let me know if you do.
I have been struggling with hair shedding and hair loss for a couple months now and was curious if this would be helpful for that?
I found it to be helpful. I was really struggling with that myself a few years ago when I first posted the recipe instructions. You might also like to try this: https://www.goodlifeeats.com/diy-rosemary-hot-oil-hair-treatment/
