I always wondered what kinds of properties rosewater had. I should have it in a book somewhere in here!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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