Hair Rinses

Camomile tea
beer
vinegar

1. Camomile tea gives blonde hair a lovely golden sheen
Make it your final rinse.

2. Beer is good for the hair and makes a quick and easy
     setting lotion. Lager is best to use and 1/2 pint. will
     be quite sufficient for medium length hair. Just pour
     it over your hair after the final rinse then set. (sounds
     awful to me but I haven't tried it! )

3. If you live in an area that has a lot of lime in the water
     add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to your final
     rinse. It will add luster to your hair as well as removing
     the lime from the water.

Oil Hair Conditioner:

Olive oil
almond or avocado oil

If your hair is looking dry and lifeless put the luster back by using olive, almond or avocado oil. Warm up any of the oils and saturate the hair. Then wrap your head in a thick, hot towel and wait for 15 minutes before rinsing off. Repeat weekly until no longer necessary.

Tomato hand lotion:

Tomato juice
Lemon juice
glycerine

You can make a quick and easy hand lotion by mixing equal parts of tomato juice, lemon juice and glycerine. Massage well into hands and wrists. This will cleanse as well as soften them.

Lemon hand lotion:

You can make a lovely lotion by mixing equal parts of lemon juice, glycerine and rose water. This lotion cleans and feeds the hands and also strengthens the nails.

Stain remover:

If your hands are spotted and stained after arduous housework try this remover: Mix the juice of one lemon with a little basil and wash your hands with it and let them dry naturally. Once dry wash off the mixture. If the stains have not completely gone, they will have faded and you can repeat the operation the following day.
