• ALWAYS do a test strand before you begin. Cut a small piece of hair from the back of your head or gather some hair from your hair brush. This way you know the result before you begin.
  • ALWAYS ask an herbalist or your local herb provider about the herbs you are using and their side effects if any. Just because it's printed on the Internet, doesn't make it safe. Research first!!!
  • ALWAYS keep allergies in mind. Specially if you are using certain herbs and oils for the first tome. Do a patch test on the bend of your arm, at the elbow. Allow 24 hours for any reaction to occur.
