Handmade Soap and Shampoo Bars on madeit!

Posted by Christiana (Tia) on Friday, August 20, 2010, In : madeit

I am SO excited!

Finally I have found a shampoo bar that incorporates my two favourite Hair Care Herbs!
Some time ago I blogged about the wonderful effects Nettle has on hair - when taken internally as a tea. Nettle, one of the most amazing herbs for its nutrients, vitamins and mineral content ( think Multi Vit. in a cup), it makes the hair grow thicker, stronger, adds a lovely shine and leaves it really healthy looking.
