For Dry Scalps: Add a teaspoon of aloe vera gel or a few drops of tea tree oil to help soothe irritation.
To Enhance Color Depth: Add a tablespoon of black tea or hibiscus petals to the simmering water for a deeper color boost.
To Soften Hair: Stir in a teaspoon of glycerin or honey (ensure your rinse is completely cool before doing so).
For Blonde or Light Hair: Avoid prolonged use as cloves can darken hair slightly over time. Opt for a gentler infusion with fewer cloves and shorter steeping.
