Golden Hair Rinse
Recipe Type
Forget the harsh chemicals and the expensive salon toners. This old-fashioned rinse is a bit of a rebel secret for anyone wanting to bring the sun back into their hair.
While Mullein has been used since Roman times to brighten blonde locks, the addition of Chamomile makes this a powerhouse for moisture and shine on any hair color.
It’s simple, it’s effective, and it smells like a summer meadow—exactly how natural beauty should be.
