Hi everyone! I'm currently using aromatherapy to help my thinning hair. I've read some books from the library and some recipes uses vodka. Does anyone know what's the difference with using vodka and spring water? Thanks!!  ------------- |

The reason for using vodka: It breaks down the herb better for tinctures and also does not go bad like water does. Water is prone to souring, bugs, mold, etc.!) Pi`d d`d 44 p )"(" !4% !, ,-,$% %(`` !4 |

You should use Recipe 1 because the water will go bad, and aloe vera gel gets messy and doesn't do much for your hair (believe me, I've tried it). The Vodka is good for giving the hair volume and reducing oiliness.

I say the second one. Aloe vera can make your hair stronger. Instead of filtered water though use a carrier oil like olive oil. |

| I've heard of using vodka, however I'm a little hesitant because it's not natural. |

| the vodka is used to dispurse the oils better. I recomend vinigar. You can use both recipies and instead of vodka or water use vinigar vinigar is great becasue it removes buildup in the hair and does not dry it out. If your hair is colored you can dilute the mizture when you use it so it doens not strip color.,!$ Cab `dapd $ b` %2 ` |
