Rinse for hair with rose petals

  • For hair, I always make concentrated infusions. That is, I take more raw materials than the classic recommendation - 1 tablespoon per glass.

  • After rinsing, the hair becomes alive, shiny, so, you know .... real, as they should be ☺

Important!

I want to warn you right away that PURCHASED roses are NOT suitable for use! They are treated with strong chemicals - pesticides and stuff! First, they are "fed" during their cultivation, then processed for better preservation.

As you read on the Internet - "do not throw away dried roses, use petals" ...

Yes, do not throw away dried roses, but only those that you have grown YOURSELF on your site!!! And in the environmental friendliness of which you are 100% SURE!!!

Preparing rose petals

How to prepare rose petals:

  • I collect rose petals myself and often buy from a friend of my grandmother, a summer resident. While the roses are in bloom, I try to actively and conscientiously dry them for myself, so that it lasts until the next season.
  • But it doesn’t always work out, really… This year it wasn’t enough again… Ahhh…
  • Before drying, I do not wash the petals. I read that something very useful is washed away from them. Why do we need this, right? We need EFFECTIVE rejuvenation! ☺But, of course, in this case, as a raw material, you must be sure of its purity!!!
  • I simply lay out the petals on a clean cloth and dry them so that direct sunlight does not fall on them.
  • They dry very quickly, and are also stored without problems - in a dark, dry place in fabric bags.
  • Shelf life - 2-2.5 years.

But, my God, I never reach a year, everything ends “clean” in a few months! ☺

They also make tea. It has very useful properties! So that beauty is not only outside, but also inside, as they say ... ☺ And awesomely delicious jam is cooked!

Now, while writing this last sentence, I thought: “What if it is cooked not with sugar, but with honey? Or maybe not even boil, but just twist the petals with honey in a blender, like we make raspberries and currants for the winter, huh?

I wonder if it will even be edible? ☺

If any of you already have experience in this matter, write in the comments, teach me, I will be sooo grateful to you!

Well, that's all I do with rose petals to care for my appearance. I have already written a separate article about the healing properties of rose petals, they deserve it!

A simplified version of insisting

If you have a bouquet of beautiful roses, tear off all the petals from fully bloomed, but not yet touched by wilting flowers. And make an amazing alcoholic liquor out of them. To do this, put all the available petals in a bottle with a wide neck and fill to the top with clean moonshine. Cover with a lid and remove to infuse.

As soon as the liquid acquires a beautiful amber hue, it can be drained through a couple of layers of gauze without squeezing out the settled pulp. Add granulated sugar or its substitute to taste, stir well and let it brew for a few more days.

Dried flower method

By the way, the application can be found not only fresh, but also dried rose leaves. This is especially true when there is no time or desire to engage in the preparation of alcoholic beverages in the summer. Then you need to prepare inflorescences for the future. During the period of greatest flowering, tear off the petals from the buds and put them in the shade until completely dry. Then put in a large glass container and set aside until better times.

Actually, the recipes for making tincture from dried petals practically do not differ from others. They need to be transferred to a bottle, poured with any high-quality alcohol and insisted. Then add sugar if desired to make a sweet liquor or serve neat undiluted.

But remember that only home flowers grown in your own garden or bought on the market from amateur gardeners can be used to make alcoholic beverages. Dutch and other plants brought from nowhere are completely unsuitable for this.

At home, you can create an unusually tasty, fragrant tea rose liquor. Consider the simplest recipe. For this you need to take:

  • 500 g of petals;
  • 2500 ml of water;
  • 700 g white sugar;
  • 2 tsp citric acid;
  • 300 ml of alcohol.

Recipe:

  1. Separate the petals from the buds, carefully sort out, removing spoiled and wilted ones.

  4. Pour the petals with acidified boiling water, close well until completely cooled.
  5. Put in refrigerator for 48 hours . If the container lid is not tight, the product will be spoiled by third-party flavors.
  6. After 2 days, strain this mixture, squeezing the petals well.
  7. Prepare syrup from sugar and remaining water, cool.
  8. Pour the previously prepared mixture with syrup, adding alcohol.
  9. Pour the finished pink liqueur into a glass container for storage for about 2 weeks in a poorly lit place.

This recipe is easy enough for beginners in making homemade alcohol. It is important to note that it is better to collect petals early in the morning or in the dark evening without solar radiation. In color, the liqueur is about the same as the rose itself. Therefore, it is necessary to use bright varieties for a rich shade, and the petals must be freshly picked for a unique persistent smell. Dried ones are not suitable, because they have already lost their aroma much.

There are many ways to prepare liquor from rose petals. We recommend to study the following recipe. To make a delicious tea rose tincture, you will need:
