In wooded glens and shaded groves, in herb patches and mushroom rings there are traces of the Fey. These keepers of nature, and sometimes temptresses of humans, have beauty unrivaled with each of their secrets drawn from nature. One of their most breathtaking features is their hair- be it the bright locks of a Seelie Sidhe or the dark tresses of an Unseelie Slaugh, everything else pales before its glory.

This herbal hair conditioner is made entirely from powdered herbs, ground so fine that it’s an earthy dust one might find it in a færie market with other beautifying sundries.

Færie Dust is the same specially blended herbal mix that you'll find in my hair conditioning and color blends, but broken out so you can add the same benefits to your own cassia, henna, or Indian Herbal hair mix!

You can even mix it with warm water and then add it into 1 cup of conditioner. Mix and apply to clean hair, cover with a shower cap and leave on for an intensive deep herbal conditioning treatment.

Please note that some of the herbs in Færie Dust may impart some subtle golden or red tones to hair. This color most often fades completely after the next washing. Very light, dry or porous hair may absorb more of this coloration. Soaking some of the shed hair from your brush or comb in prepared Færie Dust is recommended to see the reaction to your personal hair type before application to the hair on your head.

Færie Dust Herbal Hair Conditioner is a blend of:

Horsetail (Shavegrass, Equisetum arvense)– Horsetail, not to be confused with cat-tail, is possibly the most abundant source of silica in the plant kingdom, helping to keep hair strong. Many people believe that horsetail can help speed up hair growth. Some of the ways to take horsetail is to drink it in your tea, take it in capsule form or apply it directly to the scalp and hair.

Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus)– This herb has been used for centuries to heal inflammed, weeping, irritated skin conditions.

Burdock Root Powder (Arctium lappa)- Contains mucilage and starches that soothes irritated skin and membranes and is one of the most effective herbs for promoting hair growth and reducing the amount of hair shed.

Marshmallow Root Powder (Althaea officinalis) aka Gulkhairo– Soothes both the skin and scalp. Used alone or in conjunction with aloe vera liquid/gel, it provides excellent relief from skin and scalp irritation while leaving hair soft and shining.

Aloe Vera Root– Contains many of the products necessary and effective in fighting hair loss: Biotin, b-vitamins, zinc and inositil. It also contains anti-bacterial properties that keep the scalp healthy by controlling scalp infections that can prohibit hair growth.

Hibiscus Flower aka Jaswand (Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis)– An emollient (meaning it helps the cuticle of the hair lay down) and a demulcent (meaning it leaves a light soothing film behind) this herb has a cooling effect. It stimulates hair growth, increases hair thickness, reduces and prevents graying, balding, hair-loss, dandruff, split-ends, and many other hair conditions and many scalp disorders. It is also an excellent natural conditioner that may impart a warm reddish color to hair.

Stinging Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica)– Often called nature’s conditioner, Stinging Nettle is natural deep cleanser useful for oily skin and hair that promotes hair growth.

Storage: The powder can be stored in the freezer for well over a year, so long as it is kept in an airtight bag or container.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately this is a necessity so bear with me while I go through this. I hope you will use common sense and thoroughly research the herbs and oils in my products before you use them, but research is no substitute for seeking the advice of a licensed practitioner. As individuals we all have different constitutions, sensitivities, allergic reactions and possible health conditions. Our products and the information set forth herein are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease nor should any information contained herein be read as prescribing any specific remedy or guaranteeing any specific result. They should not be ingested or taken internally. If you have any reason to suspect serious illness, seek appropriate medical advice and care promptly. I cannot provide you with medical advice, required dosage information, potential drug/herb reactions, or assistance with questions relating to injury, illness, etc.

The Importance of Allergen Testing: Although our products are made with all natural ingredients, many people are allergic to natural ingredients such as certain plants, nuts, and oils. An ingredient that is very mild and soothing for one person can be an allergen for another! Each product description on our website includes a complete list of ingredients. Please read through all ingredients listed. People who have food allergies are not always allergic to the same items in skin care products. In case you are in doubt do an "allergy patch test."

Allergy Patch Test: Apply a small amount of item you are testing* on the upper part of your inner arm (at the crook of the elbow) and cover it with a bandage. Choose a time of day where you can leave the patch test in place for least 24 hours without getting it wet. If you are sensitive to any of the ingredients, a reaction such as reddening, burning, itching, or other irritation, should occur within twenty-four hours of application. If you don't see or feel any reaction, the preparation is probably safe to use. (See note under Allergic contact dermatitis.)
*If you are testing herbs, mix a small amount of herbs with water to make a paste. Apply the herbal paste for the patch test.

Why Patch Test? Patch testing is a way of identifying a substance that causes contact dermatitis (inflammation of the skin). There are two types of contact dermatitis: irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.

Irritant contact dermatitis: An irritant reaction does not involve the immune system. It is most pronounced immediately after the patch is removed and fades over the next day. Although a substance that causes an irritant reaction may exacerbate skin conditions such as eczema, the reaction will not get worse with repeated exposure to the irritant.

Allergic contact dermatitis: An allergic reaction is due to substance called an allergen and occurs only in those who are allergic to that particular substance. These reactions involve the immune system. Since an allergic reaction may take a few days to develop, if you are an allergic type person it is important to keep an eye on the patch area for a few days after the patch is removed before using the product. A substance that causes an allergic reaction should be avoided completely. The more times the skin is exposed to the substance, the worse the allergic reaction can become.
