I just ordered the Roseymary hydrosol from here

http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/fwater/fwater.php.

I plan to use it diluted with distilled water in my mister for every day use. Anyone try this and what is your experience and advice on this?

Thanks Much

I have never tried rosemary hydrosol, but I use rose hydrosol very often. Like the smell and the feel.
I don't dilute it, though - don't think it is needed, for a hydrosol is a distillate already.

Hi Charlyee,

I haven't tried the rosemary either but if I did, I'd be sure to use it on my scalp for growth. Please let me know how it smells when you get it.

I like the rose, sandalwood and the orange blossom.

The next time I order though, I'm going to keep mine in the fridge. The last hydrosols I had didn't keep very well in the cupboard.

Hugs,

Anne

Thank you Anne and Zoya. I have use the Rose water from them also and I refrigerate it as you suggested Anne.

Zoya I was diluting them to last longer, since I really use a lot of spray on my hair.

Anne, I was planning to use it as a conditioning spray for my length, supposedly Rosemary is for dark hair and has conditioning properties.

What do you two think? I got carried away and got the largest bottle so I hope it does woork.


Thanks and take care

Charlyee, I've read that rosemary is good for keeping dark hair dark. I've used it as a rinse once or twice, using the actual herb steeped in water. I've never used it enough to notice if it darkens the hair but I did notice some extra shine. I'm sure the hydrosol will add shine and be wonderful for your dark hair and that qualifies as conditioning I guess.

It certainly won't hurt ;)

The leaf is good for circulation which is why if I had some, I'd use it on my scalp as well.

I love the smell of rosemary! It's such a chearful smell, don't you think?

What about one for light colored hair? which would that be?

Hi Rose, I am not an expert on herbs, but I thik "chamomile" is good for light colored hair.

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong. :)

Yep, chamomile is good, calendula tea too.

supposedly Rosemary is for dark hair


charlyee, not to disappoint you, but I don't think hydrosol will work to keep the hair dark. The Rosemary leaves rinse would work better, but it never hurts to try :-)
