Here are some simple recipes for your hair. These are rinses so you don't wash them out. Take the herb and steep on low heat for 30-45 minutes. Then let them sit and cool off in a covered pot. As far as ratios goes :)....you know my methods are unmeasured :), but here are some basics.
One handful of herbs to one quart of water.
We just cracked lots of walnuts, so I saved the shells. No ratio, just lots of shells in water.
Brown hair = Walnut shells or sage
Red hair = hibiscus flowers
Blond hair = chamomille
Once you concoction cools, you can use the rinse straight on your hair after shampooing. Do not rinse. You can save leftovers in the fridge, but I would use within a week.
Have fun!
