Herbal Hair Care: Nourishing Rinses & Shampoos w/ Journei Bimwala
Come and join us for our first workshop led by a visiting herbalist! This one will be great. Journei Bimwala, a fabulous Bronx-based herbalist, forager, and educator will be leading a hands-on workshop exploring the power of herbs for natural hair care. Learn how to create herbal hair rinses and shampoos that cleanse, nourish, and support scalp health. We'll dive into the benefits of each herb and how to customize blends for different hair types and concerns. Participants will leave with their own herbal hair rinse and the knowledge to continue their herbal hair care journey at home.

Our goal is to make this workshop accessible to all. No one will be turned away due to financial restrictions. However, if you are able, we would appreciate donations toward the higher end of our flexible scale which make this workshop—and future workshops—possible. $15 funds the materials needed for each person per class. $25 will fund your materials and those of a neighbor! :) Anything beyond that will put towards future classes.
