Home made Hair Perfume (shampoo, light, smell, conditioner)

[leatherjackets99]

It is pleasant to perfume the hair after washing it when the hair is half dry.
• 6 tablespoons powdered charcoal
• 5 tablespoons powders myrrh
• 1 tablespoon powdered benzoin
• 1 tablespoon potassium nitrate
• 2-3 drops oil of bergamot
• 2-3 drops of sandalwood
• mucilage of tragacanth
Mix the powders together and sieve, and then add the oils. Add the potassium nitrate, and then sufficient mucilage of tragacanth to make a stiff paste.
Heat the mixture over a water bath and then make into little cones and dry. Just light one of the cones and let the smoke go into the damp hair.
The smell is highly aromatic and exotic.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to go to that much trouble for a "hair perfume". Just wash your hair to make it smell good.

Looks like some kind of Witch's recipe. Mucilage of tragacanth? LOL - Too much work. I'll stick with what I do to smell Mmmmmmmmm.

I just use shampoo and conditioner.

Funny, but that link you included sells leather jackets, not incense supplies. And oddly enough, the leather jacket company you linked to is ALSO your USERNAME!

This sounds dangerous.

An easier way is just to take your favorite fragrance oil and put a bit in your condtioner or shampoo. Shake real well. I did that to my conditioner and it smell lovely.
