This is a great excuse to lie on your back on the bed and chill for 15 to 20 minutes. A hair steam is a great way to energize your scalp, open the pours and improve circulation that can stimulate hair growth. Steam is also beneficial for dry hair allowing the hair to rehydrate. Steam lifts hair cuticle making other treatments more effective.
2 quarts water
2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp rose petals
2 tsp dried lavender
2 tsp dried lemon balm
2 tsp dried comfrey
Combine the herbs together in a small bowl. Find a large enough stock pot or Dutch oven to hold 2 quarts of water. Prepare the area where you will be steaming. Wash your hair and bring water to a boil.
TO USE: wash your hair as normal, add conditioner to your hair, then pin your hair up on your head. Prepare the steam by bringing water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the dry herbs to the water, cover and continue to simmer for 2 minutes. Uncover and place the steaming bowl on a table or stand at the end of the sofa or bed positioning it so you can lie with your head about 6 to 12 inches above the pot. Hang a towel over your forehead to trap the steam and lie still allowing the steam to penetrate hair for as long as you are comfortable. Sit up and allow the hair to cool. Once your hair is cool the cuticle has closed and you can rinse the conditioner from your hair knowing that the condition has penetrated you hair well and should leave it softer, smoother and more manageable.
