Burdock Hair Rinse: To Soothe the Scalp and Increase Hair Growth

Ever wish you could get your hair to grow a little faster? Have you dealt with the frustration of an itchy irritated scalp? Well look no further! This recipe is sure to lend a helping hand. Burdock root is commonly used to help manage the symptoms of dandruff as well as an itchy scalp. In addition to treating the scalp, Burdock is also known for its ability to help increase hair growth due to its high  concentration of vitamin A.  This hair rinse can be used on its own or as a final rise after your conditioner. 

Burdock Hair Rinse

1 Tbsp. Burdock root

1 1/2 cups of boiling water 

Bring about 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Pour the water into a ceramic or heat resistant cup and set aside. Fill a tea ball infuser with the burdock root and let it steep in the cup of hot water for about 20-30 minutes. In the mean time, wash and condition hair as usual. Once the tea infusion has cooled to room temperature, remove the tea ball infuser and pour the mixture into a color application bottle.
Use the color application bottle to evenly distribute the tea throughout your scalp. Style hair as usual.

Burdock root can be found at your local health food store and I recommend using the larger pieces of root instead of the powdered form to avoid leaving powdery residue in your hair. Also, because of the lack of preservatives, this mixture does not stay fresh for very long even if kept in the fridge so make it as needed. Give this rinse a try and let me know your results!
