[blparent] Long Hair

Wed Nov 19 05:19:45 UTC 2008

A word to the wise.  Lavender oil is wonderful for relaxing tangles.  You 
can just put a drop or 2 into the basin, wet the brush with it and slowly 
pull it through your hair.  Or you can spray your hair with it first, then 
brush it out.  I haven't been doing that lately, since we ran out.  It's not 
cheap. V
