Your hair is your "crowning glory". It can define
your image and sense of style, and is a mirror of your health.
Unfortunately is often harshly treated, by perming, blow-drying,
spraying, crimping and dyeing.
In
fact the ideal image of strong, shining, glossy and bouncing
hair is often only seen in magazines or commercials for those
numerous hair products.
It is not necessary to spend many dollars
on a different hair care range for each and every family member.
You can care for your hair and your whole family's, naturally,
simply and cost effectively by using the nourishing powers
of essential oils.
A natural, non-fragranced, non-detergent
shampoo and conditioner base should be purchased. By adding
1-2% of essential oil corresponding to your hair type, a whole
range of shampoos and conditioners can be mixed into small
discarded hair product bottles and the individual needs of
each family member can be catered for very effectively and
economically.
