Before becoming an herbalist I was a a Hairdresser and Esthetician for 25yrs, co-founding my own salon Lakshmi Hair Studio in 2007 which is still thriving today. I was trained by Aveda and spent my career using only botanical products. I was blessed to come on to the hair scene in 1995 when more botanical brands were popping up. Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda, was my first introduction to botanical oils. What a powerhouse of knowledge and inspiration this man is! That was the beginning of my journey into the world of botanical beauty and where my cosmetology and esthetician skills were honed and where I was shown how plants can heal skin and hair as well. In my years of being a hairdresser and salon owner I only used botanical lines, Aveda, Phytologie and Kevin Murphy. Aveda changed the beauty game with their plant dyed hair color, aerosol free hairspray, eco packaging and luxurious treatments and oils filled with plants and plant pigments and aromas. I am so grateful I came to that path of Holistic Beauty when I did, just a baby of 18yrs. Aveda trained cosmetologists and estheticians were in their own little pack and considered in “the cult of Aveda”, lol.I am so grateful I wasn’t on the other side of beauty, where chemicals and injections are par for the course, causing auto immune issues, cancer etc. Not to mention feeding low self esteem.

This oil in particular was inspired by an oil we used in the Salon years ago but a much more concentrated version and with no preservatives. I like to do a treatment every month on the new moon, braid my hair and sleep with it in. 20 mins will also hydrate the hair. Shampoo and condition in the morning. It leaves incredible shine, penetrates deeply into the hair cuticle. A drop or two can easily be used to smooth frizz.
