Homemade Rose Water



So I recently tried my hand at making some Homemade Rose Water and thought I would share.There are many benefits to using Rose Water and multiple ways to make Rose Water you can even purchase it already made from the Store. Rose Water is great to use for its moisturizing benefits, it can be used as a conditioner for hair or a Facial Toner.
What you'll need:
medium sauce pan
rose petals (about 2 or 3 roses)
water (preferably filtered or distilled)

optional:
vegetable glycerin
organic oil

Steps
1.Fill your sauce pan 3/4 way full with water place on stove and heat on high to boiling with a lid on top.
2.After water is boiling add rose petals and turn down water to low heat  or either remove from stove.
3. Place cover back on top of pan and let rest for 45 -60 min. Stirring occasionally.
4.When roses are done water will then be the color of roses.Drain roses from water and store in container.
 Best if stored in Fridge

After Rose water is cooled you can add your optional ingredients like vegetable glycerin.

Hope this helps

Review:  5/5
I love this product I would recommend it to anyone especially if you have dry hair.It can be used as just rinse out conditioner or a deep conditioner.Either way it works.After applying my hair feels untangled and smooth as soon as I apply.When I first used this product my hair was very dry I usually think you have to use a product a couple times to see how it really acts but this moisturized my hair immediate. I have since used the products a couple times and get the same great results.The smell of the product is nice Its not to strong.Also it is a light cream not very thick pudding.

If you want your hair to feel super moisturize, easy to detangle and silky this is it. This should be and will be a staple product for now on.

Uses it for detanlging before washing especially if u have had a protective style like a sew in.It will help with all the shed hairs and knots.


This product was bought buy me, This is my own honest opinion. 

Searching for better Moisturiser

So I have been thinking a lot about my hair, ends mostly. Daily styling I moisturize my hair with Elasta QP Recovery but this doesn't seem to be doing the job. My hair ends up feeling about the same way it did before I applied the product. Why cant I seem to find a moisturizer for daily use.?ugh. through out my journey I have tired different daily moisturizer but I haven't found 1 that workS.the only thing that was even close to making a difference was the S-Curl spray but It left my hair gummy, filmy and sticky  so I didn't feel like I could moisturize my whole head. So I am on the hunt for something better.

Any suggestions on a great daily moisturizer?
