    I like the idea of herbs adorning your hair... I've used incense, oils infused with herbs like rosemary and lavender, and various smelly products (props to creation's garden lime verbena leave-in and shea moisture anti-breakage mask) although lately I've been loving treating my ends with nightblooming's ostara salve, oh my I do love the scent of citrus...
    With one religion, we cannot listen. With one color, we cannot see.
    With one culture, we cannot feel. Without you we can't even remember.

    Wow I love the ideas of using fresh mint/cinnamon/rosemary/lavender/basil! I happen to have a mint and basil plant... I may have to try this.

    Does your hair still smell like it for a while after you've taken the leaf out?

    Fascinating. I live for cool historical information about beauty, and recently that has fed into my interest in beauty tutorials from before the invention of the automobile. But I haven't seen this one before! Thanks for sharing.

    I'm amazed by that long braid! I wonder how she did that.

    Bahahaha that's what I thought when reading that post! or using sprigs of herbs for decoration - not flower arranging, but herbal arrangements ... mmm, yummy
    Length goal well and truly met, now just seeing how it grows ...
    Picky scalp but easygoing hair, thank goodness
