Instructions
Step 1: The Lather of Liberation
Garden of Earthly Delights Botanical Shampoo & Conditioner This 100% plant-based duo transforms a routine wash into a sensory ritual of renewal.
- Lavender & Rosemary: Work in tandem to provide purification and mental clarity.
- Nourishing Botanicals: Camellia seed oil and calendula soothe the scalp, while Ginseng Root invigorates the follicles to support vitality.
- Cedar & Bergamot: Balance the spirit, grounding you while simultaneously lifting winter’s heaviness.
Ritual Tip: As you massage the lather into your scalp, visualize washing away old, “dead” thoughts from the winter months, making room for new visions to take root.
Step 2: Anointing for Growth
Garden of Earthly Delights Botanical Hair Elixir Perfect for a post-wash sensory grounding practice or a focused hair ritual.
- Cedar & Rosemary: Symbolize strength and the anchoring of your intentions.
- Horsetail & Marigold: These healing extracts nourish the hair and scalp, mirroring the healthy, vibrant growth we see in nature.
- Bergamot: Invites a bright, confident energy to your aura.
The Ritual Practice
After towel-drying your hair, warm a few drops of the Hair Elixir between your palms. Gently run your hands through your hair, focusing on the ends and the crown. As you do so, breathe in the botanical scent and set one specific intention for what you wish to “grow” this season—be it a project, a habit, or a state of mind.
