Feedback on use
I used sage weed for hair. In fact, I didn’t buy it; I used it not economically at all - 2 tbsp. l I dabbed herbs with boiling water and let it brew for 2 hours. After washing with shampoo, I simply washed my hair abundantly with this broth. So lasted as many as 10 procedures. But the result was already visible on the 6th procedure. I advise you to use sage for hair. And removes fat and hair tints. Cheap and angry.

In the winter I wanted to make the color of my fair hair, and even burned out over the summer under the sun, a little darker and richer. I came to the aid of grass sage. I remember as a child I often rinsed my hair with herbs: chamomile, string, sage. My hair was much thicker and healthier then. On the hair smell almost does not remain. Hair dried naturally. Hair became smooth, shiny and at the same time light and voluminous. The color has become a bit darker (or it seems to me), so far not particularly noticeable. (By the winter, my natural hair color itself darkens a little, and by the summer it brightens.) I will continue the experiment and see what will happen several times.

Then I learned more about the spectrum of the use of grass, and it became almost the first place among the herbs among us. I use essential oil of sage. I enrich cosmetics, I add to shampoo and balm, oil helps to struggle with fat content of hair and fights against loss.
