Chamomile conditioner

I have been using this instead of storebought conditioner for a couple months now, and have only good to say about it. Chamomile softens, moisturizes, and subtly lightens fair hair, and is both natural and inexpensive. The only possible downside is that your hair smells of chamomile tea. I use it with baby shampoo currently, but have been researching more natural substitutes.

Chamomile Conditioner (for shorter hair: for longer hair, use double the recipe)
2 cups boiling water
1/8 cup dried chamomile flowers (or 1/4 cup fresh)
1 tsp lemon juice

Mix ingredients and let sit, covered, until lukewarm or cool. Pour through clean hair, catching the runoff in a bowl. Repeat 8-10 times for best results.
