What exactly is chamomile supposed to do for blonde hair?
I can see how henna adds red highlights to darker hair. But chamomile - whether in shampoo, conditioner, or hair treatment form - seems to make no difference to my (fair) hair.
Just a con, or am I missing something?
bump - anyone? Do I need to ask Cecil?
The problem, my dear, is that chamomile doesn’t seem to be proven to do anything. Multiple sources claim it does everything from “reduce frizz” to “remove grey” to “detangle” to “rejuvenate the hair”. What I think, personally, is that it gives a nice scent that is supposed to be calming (like when it’s used in tea) as you contemplate just how quickly your hair is greying, and how your grey hair signifies just how close the yawning abyss of eternal, unstoppable death is to you.
Or something.
