Hair Care for Maidens

Greetings, my dear maidens!
While on a short vacation with my family to a friends' quaint summer cottage, I came across this article in an old edition of a Victoria magazine.



For Auburn/ Red-Haired Maidens:

For your hair's natural luster these herbs will naturally enhance your sunset tones!
Sage: tones down brassiness and is excellent for dry scalps
Marigold: the blossoms produce yellow/orange highlights and is great for dry hair
Madder Root: brings out warmer tones in auburn hair
Henna: adds volume, mends split ends, and conditions the hair shaft

Some treatments: Crabtree and Evelyn's Marigold Conditioner, Aveda's Madder Root Shampoo



Shimmering Sunlight for Blondes

Lemon: a mild bleach
Chamomile: a conditioner and lightener

A Sunlight Rinse:
Mix the juice of three lemons with one pint warm water. Or steep 1/4 cup chamomile flowers in 1 quart of boiled water. Pour entire amount through hair.



Glowing With Remembrance-Brunettes

Rosemary: Rosemary essential oil is intense and effective in invigorating the scalp. Massage onto roots, or use an infusion of Rosemary tea on hair ends to add gloss.


Our hair is our glory, let us take care of it for the glory of God!
