I want to try this so bad.  But I'm on a budget so I might have to make my own.

Try to get lighter color roses...I had dark red roses and I did not like the color of the water, but the scent was GREAT and I loved it on my hair and skin.

WOW, thank cmesweet.  This info is really helpfull.

I make my own leave-in with rosewater/glycerine water (from walgreens), light conditoner (no protein), and distilled water.  This works great.

Sistaslick, I'll have to try your concotion as well.  It sounds really good, plus I like Infusium 23.

You can buy it or you can make it yourself. Just put roses in a jar of distilled water for about a week. Make sure it is by a window where the sun can hit it and you shake it up at least 2 times a day. After the week is  over pour the water out into a jar/bottle while straining out the rose petals.

*Edit to add... if you have reusable tea bags just put the rose petals in the water and let it boil.

It's good for skin and can be a room fragrance spray as well.

I mix rosewater with my Infusium 23 leave to dilute it. Renee, You can find it on the shelves of any Indian grocery store.

Since I can't get the link to work, I just copied my response from another hair site about rosewater benefits:

It can be used on the skin and hair. It is said to stimulate and increase the blood flow to the skin and scalp. It also balances sebum/oil production. I mix it with my leave-in (Infusium 23) and spray it in after washes. 

On the skin its said to fight acne. It also tighens the pores.
