      at our local pharmacy/drugstore. I have two and they're both stamped 'Mita'. They were under $20 each. Just make sure that the one you buy is 100% natural boar bristle and also that it's not labelled for fine hair or baby hair (I had to turn the brush over and read the small print on the price label - it wasn't clear from other information given). I made that mistake once and it was useless. Just wouldn't go through my hair. My granddaughter gained a lovely brush though!

      Progress from June 2006 - October 2008

      2a/M/ii
      Mid-Dark brown with natural red and silver highights; fringe/bangs.
      Starting length 25"/62.5cm
      Current length 36"/90cm (Original goal and was reached July 2009)
      New Goal 44"/112cm

      Current routine: (Trying to keep it as simple as possible): WC on the weekend; scalp washes every second day; oiling 2-3 nights per week; S&D when I think of it; and dusting every 8-12 weeks.

      Shampoo: Organic Instincts diluted with herbal tea (rosemary and chamomile).
      Conditioners: A'Kin Protein or Moisturising Conditioner mixed with honey (1 tablespoon of each).
      Oils: Favourite is almond oil. Occasionally will use a blend of coconut, almond, olive in the ratio 2:1:1 in summer or as a deep oiling treatment.
      Other: ACV infused with herbs (depending upon availability I use a selection of lavender, rosemary, cinnamon, sage, and thyme); BBB; wooden comb; Mason Pearson comb; Logona herbal henna.

      'Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfailing beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.' 1 Peter 3:3-4
