Herbal infusions make excellent rinses and small quantities of an infusion can be added to shampoos and conditioners. It is a good idea to make up a large amount of infusion, use a small amount for the shampoo or conditioner, and pour the rest through your hair several times. This way, you will save yourself the trouble of making up two preparations, and your hair will get a double treatment!
