Ingredients:
5–6 dried bay leaves
2 cups of water
Optional Add-On:
1 tablespoon of black tea (for enhanced darkening effects)
Instructions:
Boil the Bay Leaves: Add the bay leaves to 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 4–5 minutes to allow the nutrients to infuse into the water.
Cool the Mixture: Turn off the heat and let the liquid cool to a comfortable temperature. Strain the bay leaves from the water.
Rinse Your Hair: After shampooing, pour the bay leaf infusion slowly over your hair, ensuring it saturates your scalp and strands.
Massage and Leave: Gently massage your scalp for a few minutes, then leave the rinse on your hair for about 10–15 minutes.
Rinse Out (Optional): You can rinse your hair with plain water if needed, though leaving it in is beneficial.
