Hair care
The common sage is one of the best plants for darkening and toning hair. An infusion of the fresh
leaves or tops is used [Genders, 1985]. It has also been popularly used to darken the hair when
applied to the scalp [Grieve, 1984]. It is used in cases of alopecia [Valnet, 1986]. Sage is a good hair tonic and the infusion, used as a hair lotion, can be rubbed on to the scalp every other day to
ensure healthy shining hair. It is particularly good for dark hair, strengthening the hair and
deepening the natural colour [Back, 1987]. A mixture of garden sage and rosemary has been
used by some of the Elderly blacks living in Michigan in the past to maintain the sheen of their
dark, curly hair and to strengthen and stimulate further hair growth, this is probably attributable
to the volatile oil in the plant [Lewis, 1977].
A recipe for hair tonic and setting lotion: Cut up a handful of sage leaves and tops and the same
quantity of rosemary. Place in one pint of cold water and bring slowly to the boil. Simmer for
three minutes (keeping covered). Remove from heat and allow to steep for three hours. Massage
into scalp and hair every night. [Baïracli Levy, 1991].
