We all know Fennel and have used it in a lot of recipes. But what many of us don’t know it is more than just a kitchen ingredient. It is also a good skin and hair care ingredient.

Itchy Scalp can be due to irritation of the scalp, seasonal changes, dryness of the scalp, detox reaction, etc. Whatever the reasons are, you can soothe your scalp in no time with a fennel rinse right away. It’s soothing and just what your scalp needs. Let’s take a look at it shall we?

Shelf Life

I prepare fresh batch of this recipe every time. However, you can store this for 1 – 2 months if you use Distilled Water.

Tips to Tweak the Recipe

You can use Aloe Vera Juice in this recipe along with or instead of Glycerin.

For those who have darker hair, skip the Honey and go with just Glycerin.

You can use essential oil though it’s not needed. Fennel smells really fresh and good.

You can also use Fennel Oil if you are swamped for time.

Those who don’t have fennel, try Rose if you are just looking for soothing effect.

You can also use Fenugreek Seeds in this seeds. It’s nourishing and also conditioning. It leaves your hair soft and smooth.

For those who want to promote hair growth or regrowth, onion juice is a great addition. However, it does leave a smell and best used before shampooing or you can use aromatic ingredients to counter it.

Curry Leaves & Mint Leaves are great additions to this recipe for those looking to stimulate scalp and promote hair growth.
