I think I am behind on my hair stuff. I just now finally purchased 1/4lb French lavender, 1/2lb of calendula, and 1/2lb of chamomile. I am hoping to make some great tea rinses with these as well as add them to my poo bars once I start making them. herbs are kinda pricey!!!!!

Yes, they are pricey! I stocked up a few months ago. You got my favorites. You will really enjoy making the rinses and using them. The aromatherapy is great. Speaking of, I am going to make one myself. I could use some aromatherapy today :)

I know, I had someone price lavender for me, and yow, it's expensive! I'm thinking about growing some herbs this summer, though.

I paid about 7 or 8$ for 1/4lb of the french lavander, and only 2 or 3$ each for 1/4lb each of the other two:cheese: after extensive price checks on e-bay and herb stores this one place was the cheapest.

I'm thinking (but it was a while ago, so I could be off by a few dollars) that the price I was quoted was $26 for a pound. While I can't really picture how much a pound of lavender flowers would be, I would imagine that it would be quite a bit, afterall, they don't weigh much. But still, that seems like a lot of money, but then again, I'm cheap! :D
