A Root-Tendering Oil from Garden and Grove
In coastal villages, rosemary was crushed into warm olive oil and combed through sea-treated hair.
Not to perfume it-
but to strengthen roots weakened by salt, wind, and sun.
Olive oil was known as a fruit for the hair, not only the table.
Farm women used it to gloss coarse strands and protect their children’s scalps from dryness after
long, wind-filled days near the sea.
Nettle root, pulled from damp earth, was dried and steeped to awaken follicle vitality and encourage new growth.
Together they nourish scalp and strand, restore softness to ends, and revive shine without heaviness.
This is not a scented hair serum.
It is a strengthening root tonic from garden and grove.
