Dandruff Deterrent

Infuse 2 tbsp. of fresh or dried rosemary and sage in 1 gallon of water for 24 hours. Use daily as a hair rinse.

Healthy Hair Spray

Boil 1 unpeeled, chopped lemon (or 1 chopped orange if your hair is dry) in 2 cups of water until half the original amount of liquid remains. Cool, strain, and pour into a spray bottle and refrigerate. If mixture is too sticky, add water. Pour 1 oz. rubbing alcohol into mixture as a preservative and spray will last for up to two weeks unrefrigerated.

Odor Eliminator

If the odor is very bad (think skunk), pour undiluted tomato juice on your hair and let it soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Less noticeable odors can be fixed with a diluted tomato juice solution: 1 part tomato juice to 10 parts water.
