Haircare routines and tips?

Would love to see what your haircare routines are! I feel like it's not discussed as much, and somehow it feels more complicated than skincare. I know there's things like scalp massages, oils, serums, conditioners, but where and how does everything fit into a regular routine?

If comfortable, it would be appreciated if you could mention your scalp and hair types! Thanks and hope you all have a lovely day c:

Fun Fact: Fig leaf notes can vary and smell like green or coconut/creamy!

I wanted to share a very interesting fact I found recently, and I hope it's interesting for you guys as well! Depending on the fig variety, fig leaves can smell very different. In some cases, toasting the fig leaf can draw out different scents such as coconut, vanilla, or nutty! I tried doing so with mine and it leaned primarily nutty with a hint of coconut.

If anyone has a fig tree at home, you can simply take a few medium-sized leaves and toast in a dry pan on medium heat for 1-2 minutes. I've also seen a lot of people use it to flavor syrups and make desserts, for those who are interested in cooking!

Hope this is helpful to know for sampling fragrances :)

Fragrances you would recommend to someone who enjoys a different scent category?

Been exploring fragrances the past year-ish, and so far I've found I enjoyed clean, fresh, aquatic scents. I really want to add some variety to my collection (gourmand, woody, anything different honestly), but the ones I've tried still feel like they're outside of my comfort zone.

What are some perfumes that would be a good introduction into a new scent category for someone who's not used it? This is a lot to ask for so I appreciate any advice!

Hope you all have a lovely day :)
