Dulhan Henna Is Back in Stock
Dulhan Henna is Back in Stock! For those of our customers who have visited us lately looking for Dulhan Henna we are glad to say that it is back in stock. For those of you looking for just a straight henna (no other herbs) - Dulhan is a great choice. The dye release in Dulhan Henna will yield a coppery red color for most users. It can also be used as a conditioner if you are not seeking any added color (simply do not let the dye release overnight or let the henna sit very long). Stock up on Dulhan Henna for your fall hair treatments.
Making Peace With the Price of Healthy, Great Looking Hair
I just spent $250 on my
own hair products. This may give you sticker shock ( I would fully
understand if it did). Did I eagerly spend the money....not exactly.
Was I smiling when I clicked "process payment now"....no not really.
But I do accept that success begets greater expense.
When my hair was much shorter 1oz or
2 oz of product went a long way. But my hair goal was for longer hair
(Goal 1 was chin level, goal 2 was shoulder level, goal 3 was below
shoulder level and my current goal is mid way between my shoulder and
elbow). As I have achieved my goals I have had to increase the purchase sizes of my orders (i.e buying 64 oz of product at a time) because it simply takes more Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner
or Curlisto Deep Therapy Masque to treat my now longer hair. So when
you think about it it's kind of a luxury dilemma to have (welcome to
Zoe Saldana's world). I estimate that I will spend about $1000 on
Curlisto Deep Therapy Masque alone this year (okay less if I catch a few sales like I just did today but there won't be a sale every
time I run out of it). And believe it or not I am making peace with
that $1000 expense. Why? Because I saw what life (i.e my hair) was like
when I went a few months without budgeting that expense in. My hair
didn't do all the things I like
for it to do - hold my curl definition as long, resist breakage, have
shine etc. There are other products in that category where when I omit
then from my routine - a hair rebellion takes place which is no fun for
me and I doubt my hair is having much fun either.....struggle ensues,
grooming time increases.
We all have our thresholds as far as what we are willing to pay to maintain healthy, great looking hair - it is different for everyone. But once you know what your hair really requires to do it's thing healthily - making peace with that dollar amount for those products is really a pretty good idea.
Namaste,

Sesame Street Song for Loving Kinky-Curly Hair
It really never hurts to watch a little Sesame Street. I was installing some new blinds in the house this morning and I had Sesame Street on (Sidebar: Yes, adults can be entertained by Sesame Street even with no kids in the house). They had a little girl muppet singing about how she loves her hair as an afro, in braids, in curls. The song is called "I Love My Hair". I take the position that you are never too old to affirm love for your hair. That's right whether you are 5 or whether you are 50 - hair affirmations are never time misspent. Go Sesame Street!
Namaste,

Shampoo Bars
Making Shampoo + Conditioning Bars - Exciting Stuff!
June 25, 2012
I have to say I have begun to make Shampoo/Conditioning Bars to retail in our store and I am really liking it! It is so cool to be able to customize the ingredients with exactly the herbs you want to see in your shampoo bar and exactly the oil base that you prefer and then add the essential oils that will impact your hair just the way you want - LOVING IT!
My mind is now working overtime on the bars I want to make in the future. These shampoo bars are sulphate free of course.
So the batch that I will be retailing first is a combination of Brahmi, Amla, Shea Butter, Castor Oil, Honey and essential oils that are moisturizing for dry hair.
Look out for them at our store in the next few weeks.
Also check out our newest hair oil - Shikakai Oil (Mineral Oil Free) available in 4 oz and 8 oz sizes.
Namaste,

The Overdue Haircut....aka Surrendering Control of My Hair to a Stylist
Several summers ago I was at a retreat where we played a game of musical chairs for adults with a twist - the person without a chair was not eliminated but instead had to say 1 thing about themselves that was embarrassing and then everyone who had the same issue had to get up from their seats and race to find a new chair. One woman's embarrassing detail was that she hated to give up control of her hair to a hair stylist. I totally got up for that one. More....
