ROSEMARY HAIR WASH
🌿For magical & non-magical purposes🌿
I've started a rosemary bush and am so excited to make some magical hair washes with it! Tonight I made a test version and it came out so nice! Here's the recipie & directions below:
1. Gather about 5-7 cuttings of rosemary.
2. Thank the plant and/or earth for providing the plant matter needed.
3. Wash the rosemary to get off any debris and dirt.
4. Pour about 4 cups of water into a standard sauce pan. Any kind of water will do, just as long as it isn't salted. You can use specific types of water to boost any intentions (holy water, storm water, etc.)
5. Boil the water.
6. Once the water has boiled, place your clean rosemary cuttings into the water. I found it is easier to fit the cuttings by snapping them in halves or thirds while still keeping the whole cutting connected. After you have done this, turn off the heat.
7. Stir and channel your intention. Think of what you would like to gain from this recipie. Rosemary has a magical correspondence with protection, healing and improving memory.
Last minute I added in some chamomile, since I have blonde hair. Chamomile is known to lighten blonde hair and has a magical correspondence with peace, healing, and harmony.
8. Let the mixture cool. You are basically making a large batch of tea. It's best to let it sit and cool naturally so you can get the most out of the herbs' properties.
9. Once it has cooled, strain into a small bowl you can take into the shower with you.
How to Apply
1. Wash your hair as you regularly would. During your lather, clear your mind and prepare for the hair wash.
2. Wring your hair out as much as possible and gather your hair into a side ponytail, or flip your head upside down if you have short hair.
3. Take the bowl with the mixture inside and either dunk half or your hair (or head if you have short hair) into the bowl. You are essentially trying to soak the ends of your hair. Leave for 1 minute.
4. After your ends have soaked, comb your hair back with your fingers and let the excess drip off - do not wring out.
5. Take the bowl and pour the rest on the front of your hairline while shielding your eyes. Think of your intentions clearly when performing this step and step 6.
6. Message into scalp and rinse if desired.
Hope you all enjoy this recipie!
What's nice about this recipe is that all four elements are used! You can make this into a weekly ritual, or use it for special occasions! You can also add crystals or even time it according to the moon phases. This recipie is determined by your form of practice. It's very versatile and can be manipulated easily. The sky is the limit of what magic you can manifest!
