Herbal hair treatment for problematic scalp
Unfiltered Hostětín apple vinegar in organic quality with essential oils and herbal macerate. The herbal hair rinse completely replaces your conventional conditioner and helps with any "side effects" of soap-based shampoos, such as the waxy film that can occur with higher skin pH or when washing in hard water.
All ingredients in the New Hair Elixir are specially blended for problematic scalp with itching, flakes, or scabs, and are known for their antibacterial properties. After use, your hair will be silkily smooth, shiny, nourished, and easy to comb.
Vinegar is known for its positive effects on hair, making it softer and nourishing, as well as on problematic scalp. The hair treatment also contains a herbal macerate that benefits this type of hair and skin, specifically from burdock, walnut, ivy, marigold, and nettle. The special formula is complemented by 100% essential oils of orange, lavender, and tea tree.

Dead Sea
Natural soap for problematic and sensitive skin with mud and salt from the Dead Sea
You ask
- It has antibacterial effects on the scalp, thus eliminating itching or the formation of dandruff.
- It helps to remove dead skin cells without disrupting the skin's protective barrier.
- It smooths the outer layer of the hair strand (cuticle)
The cuticle protects the hair from damage caused by the external environment and even withstands mechanical influences such as brushing. Its surface is highly structured, and the smoother it is, the hair looks healthier, feels softer, shinier, and is easier to comb. - It is a pure natural ingredient that does not contain any additional substances that may irritate the skin or harm the environment.
- It completely replaces conventional hair conditioner.
- It helps to remove any "wax film" when washing hair with soap-based shampoo, which is caused by hard water or high skin pH.
Pour the rinse into a container and dilute it with warm water. We recommend a ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 (i.e., one part rinse to two to four parts water).
Start with a 1:4 ratio (one part rinse to four parts water) and experiment. Every hair type is different and requires a slightly different ratio.
Dry hair requires more dilution than oily hair. For dry hair, it is advisable to use one tablespoon less of the elixir, while for oily hair, one tablespoon more is recommended.
You can standardly pour it over your hair and then massage it into your scalp and lengths, or it works great to pour the freshly prepared diluted rinse into a spray bottle. This way, you can get it everywhere and save on quantity.
An important step is to let the treatment sit for a few minutes.
You can then leave it on your hair and dry it directly, or rinse it out.
On our YouTube channel, we have prepared a short instructional video with instructions on how to use our new herbal rinses.
No, they won't?
Once the hair is completely dry, the smell of vinegar will disappear.
You can use it daily, but frequent washing is not very beneficial for your hair, so moderation is key!
Maceration, or steeping, is a process through which active substances and fragrances contained in herbs (or other ingredients) are released directly into a carrier medium, which can be:
- oil – a macerate is created, the steeping occurs cold in a closed container for a minimum of 3 weeks,
- alcohol – a tincture is produced, most commonly used in herbal medicine,
- water – an infusion is created, or in the case of heating, which accelerates the maceration process, it is a decoction.
These resulting products can be used either alone or as an additive. At Almara Soap, herbal macerates and decoctions are utilized in the preparation of some natural soaps and cosmetics. This process ensures that the final product contains the maximum amount of active ingredients, which transfer directly from the carefully selected herbs.
