Ch. 07 — A founder's note
I made this
for my mother.
Every Sunday of my childhood, my mother would sit me down in the courtyard of our home in Lahore and wash my hair with a paste of amla and reetha she ground by hand.
Twenty years later, I couldn't find a single bottle on any shelf — here or abroad — that came close.
HerbLux is that recipe, finally written down — steeped a little longer, bottled a little cleaner, and made for anyone whose hair remembers something older than shampoo.
