Water mint extract? Is it good for your hair?

I have some Suave shampoo that has water mint extract in it. It does my hair really good, but still I want to know what does WATER MINT extract do for your hair?








P.s. Please don't say Suave isn't good, because I've used salon products and everything else (seeing that my step dad grew up around Hair dressers and he is a barber so he tells me what not to put in my hair, and my sister's mom is a Hair dresser) and it doesn't work as good as Suave. But I just am concerned about the watermint. Sorry to ramble on but I hope you get my point.

Water mint extract? Is it good for your hair?
Mint is great for your scalp, it really doesn't do much for hair. Rosemary (if your hair is dark?) is great, a few drops of essential oil of Rosemary (don't get essential oils in your eyes or on furniture) added to rinse will brighten color, tighten cuticle (hair shaft surface) making your hair stronger and brighter.


You are right on about shampoos, most of them vary more in price than ingredients.
Reply:It feels great, and the aroma just soothes and relaxes. I love smelling the mint.
Reply:I doubt it does much but feel soothing to the scalp.
Reply:suave rocks...watermint is simply a nice rinse for the hair...suppose to be good for the scalp....invigorating...when i was growing up we grew mint in the garden and we would take it and put it in the fridge with water let it chill for a bit and use it as a rinse...it just feels so refreshing


Why does some fresh garlic (after mincing) turn green as it ages..and why would it have a hint of mint smell?

I work in a where we have pre-peeled garlic sent to us...and everything looks great when we mince it. But when the night is over or sometimes later that next day, it seems to have a green tint to it. and NO, it's not a cleaning issue. I've done it myself both at work and home, and I wonder if the exposure to air has an effect on the color of fresh garlic.


On a side note, I swear I can smell something that is close to mint. It it at all possible that garlic can take on a smell similar to mint?

How much will EB Games pay for a mint DS lite and two games?

The DS Lite has only been used twice and i have warioware: master of disguise and gunpey Ds. Would it be worth selling it to EB Games or is it good to just keep it?

How much will EB Games pay for a mint DS lite and two games?
Not much. They are going to try to make profit out of you. So they will buy that for less and sell it for a lot. I'm guessing probably about $40-70 for your DS Light and for your two games i'm not too sure. It doesn't matter if you used it one time, two times, or 50 times, EB Games will buy for the same price and make profit out of you. So to me i would keep your DS for the future.
Reply:well first off it doesnt matter what kind of condition it is in you will get the same price. and second no body knows for sure because the prices change every day....you could go in today and trade your DS in and get 50$ and tommorow you would get more or less.....its like a stock market

Where can I find cute, wide womens shoes that don't cost a mint or look like they're meant for the elderly?

I've had terrible luck with shoes my whole life because my feet are both big and wide. Now the medication I'm on makes my feet swell so it's even worse. Any suggestions for places / websites that specialize in wides with styles that are actually cute instead of looking like they belong on an 80 year old woman?

You may think I'm crazy, but I have found some really really cute shoes at Payless. I have a wide foot, and it's really the only place I found that carries wide width shoes. You might have to look hard, but they really do have some cute shoes!
Reply:Go to: Zappos.com
Reply:Nordstrom sells wide women's shoes. They have a big selection and their qualily is good. They sell different brands, including expensive and unexpensive. You can find good and affordable shoes at their stores. I don't know if your state has Nordstrom stores but you can check online at www.nordstrom.com.


When a recipes calls for 1 bn mint, parsley, etc. How much exactly is that?

bn is an abbreviation for "bunch". When you buy fresh herbs, they're sold by the bunch or bundle.
