Homemade hair rinses for oily and sweaty hair

A hair rinse is more suitable during the hot and humid season. It provides a conditioning treatment to the hair, giving it body and bounce. It is particularly useful for oily hair, because creamy hair conditioners make the hair limp, especially in summer. The hair should be washed well with water after shampoo, ending with a hair rinse. Actually, it is important to wash the hair thoroughly with water after shampoo, to get rid of all soapy residues and the last traces of grime. Help yourself to the ingredients provided by nature and keep your hair in top condition.
Rinses also help to add shine and condition the hair. You can prepare a rinse at home, using natural substances. This can be used after washing the hair, as a final rinse.
