Rosemary oil adds shine to dull, lifeless hair. It helps to remove excess static electricity also. Add a drop or two to your brush or into the palms of your hands and apply to hair, especially to dry ends. Rosemary will also assist with mental and physical fatigue.
Keep bottle of herb-scented waters in the bathroom or on the dressing table to use as a refreshing lotion. Add to the water in the bath or use them to scent the body afterwards. Dab the face with lotion in hot weather or use it as rinsing water for hands. Fragrant waters are so easy to make that you can afford to be lavish. You can use any herb you like. The favorites are rosemary, lemon balm, bergamot, hyssop, violet, thyme and lemon thyme, chamomile and elder. Men might prefer scented water using coriander or cinnamon or the spiciness of cloves.

Make an herbal hair rinse. Bring two cups of water to a simmer. Add two cups of fresh herbs (rosemary and mint to stimulate scalp, equisetum or horsetail grass to strengthen hair, sage for scalp problems) and simmer for two minutes. Allow to cool, strain out herbs and add them to your compost pile.

Use the tea as a final rinse for hair, leaving it in and then styling as usual. This can also be put in a spray bottle and applies to your dog's coat for a between-baths freshener.
