Thanks Rita, I really had fun with this one. Just finished using it on my hair and it feels great and such a nice scent. I used the lavender, but next time instead of use the buds and leaves - think I'd use whole sprigs and let them float in the jar. Breaking them up meant I had to strain and remove all the buds before using it on my hair and the whole ones could just be left to float (and look nice) in the jar. But have to say, I really like the outcome a lot. I used lavender this time but next time (and there will be a next time) I'll try the Rosemary. This would also be great for gifts and I may just add it to my Christmas baskets this year. Thanks again for a wonderful idea.

    I used this today and, yes, my hair is soft and shiny. That is really saying something cause I have really, coarse, wiry, thick hair (not quite as bad as it sounds - especially after a stint with the blow drier) and I've been dying it for years, so it's not often this soft unless I use very expensive commercial products. I used rosemary in my lotion.
