Questions that don't deserve their own thread

There used to be a woman on Etsy who made braids and other hairpieces. She custom matched them to a client's hair. Does anyone know the name of the shop. I can't find it.

Thank you very much! And do you use lemon juice or something acidic in your cassia mix? Or some rinse (chamomile, catnip,..).

Nope, I just use cassia and warm water. But I add about 1 tsp of indian herbs mixture (they contain aloe vera, reetha, neem, amla and such) so amla could be considered an acidic agent.

For those of you who decant your oils or other products into smaller bottles, how are you labelling them? I have a bunch of small LDPE travel bottles that seem spill proof and produce perfect drops, but all my labels keep falling off. On a recent trip, I had to use my nose to differentiate between a few of my products. I have some tiny plastic labels that fall off after a few months. I've also tried Sharpie right on the bottle, but it does fade/wear off after a while, plus I usually clean/sanitize the bottle before refilling, and it might get a different product next time around. I'm ready to start using a few more oils and it's obvious I won't be able to keep everthing straight by color/scent alone!

Scotch tape 540° around your bottle covering the label. Any adhesive residue which might remain after a long time can easily be removed with some turpentine

Of course. Why didn't I think of that? I suppose clear packing tape would work too. Thank you!!!

It's really warm this week and my son wants , of course, go to the lake and swim every day, now that we have such a good weather .
I wonder if I should be washing my hair after this splashing..every day that is.
I would usually not do that and just let my hair dry after swimming and stick to washing it every other day. But I read and article saying that it's best to cleanse hair and body after being in the lake or sea.
And my hair is really dry right now, as usually in summer so I'm not sure if I want to wet it 2 times a day
What do you guys think ?

As someone who grew up by the sea, I was taught to always wash my hair after getting it wet in every kind of water. And I still agree, I would wash it. Maybe cowash, if your scalp like it?
Or you could find a way to keep your hair dry while swimming.

Thanks a lot
Cowash is really not my thing so I would probably stick to reverse washing with milder shampoo...
Keeping hair dry is really hard around an energetic 10 year old that loves to splash

Yes I would consider a very dilute shampooing. Really minimal. A light squirt of shampoo in a big tumbler of water. Pretty much just poured over, squeezed in, and then rinsed well. Especially as you might be doing this Every Day for a while!
