Oat Straw Tea and Honey
Oat Straw (the tops of the Oats plant) herbal infusions have been used for centuries to naturally soften hair, increase manageability, and restore luster.
Ingredients
2-3 Tablespoons Oat Straw
1 Quart Distilled water
1 Tablespoon Raw unfiltered Honey
Directions
Step 1
Bring the water to boil.
Step 2
Remove from Heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of Oat straw.
Step 3
Cover with close fitting lid and allow the tea to brew for at least 25 minutes.
Step 4
Strain the tea into a handled container for convenience in pouring over the hair, or to a spray bottle.
Step 5
Add the honey to the room temperature tea and stir or shake to incorporate. Apply to hair and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water and style
Caution: The rinse should be at room temperature before using. Never pour hot tea in your hair.
Lean over a sink as you slowly pour the tea over your freshly shampooed hair, massage the infusion into your hair and scalp.
Bonus Tip:
Place a large bowl under your head to catch the liquid and reapply several times. Let the infusion sit in your hair for a few minutes. Gently rinse with cool water or, for extra conditioning benefits, just leave it in and towel dry hair.
