    Hi, I have three part question all related to hair care:
    1) I recently saw the ingredient C13-15 alkane as an ingredient in a leave-in conditioner. What is it and does it provide any hair conditioning benefit and is it similar to silicone? Does it cause build-up?

    2) What is the difference between a plant oil and a plant extract? For example, in one John Masters De-tangler, it lists
    “Arnica Montana Flower Extract” and “Pelargonium Graveolens Oil.” Do they both provide benefits to the hair?

    3) I was curious about the Living Libations Seabuckthorn Shampoo, but it is expensive. Also, I don’t see any common surfactants listed. How does the shampoo cleanse? Do the ingredients warrant the price ($25/4 oz)? I listed the ingredients below for reference.

    Jojoba Oil – Simmondsia chinensis
    JSeabuckthorn Oil – Hippophae rhamnoides
    Coco-Protein Oil – Cocos nucifera
    Yucca Oil – Yucca elata
    Bladderwrack Seaweed Oil – Fucus vesiculosus
    Orange Wax Oil – Citrus aurantium
    Calendula Oil – Calendula officinalis
    Red Clover Oil – Trifolium pretense
    Oatstraw Oil – Avena sativa
    Horsetail Oil – Equisetum arvense
    Coltsfoot Oil – Tussilago farfara
    Comfrey (Symphtum officinalis)
    Stinging Nettles Oil – Urtica dioica
    Chamomile Oil – Anthemis nobilis
    Grapefruit Oil – Citrus paradisi
    Peppermint Oil – Mentha piperita
    Vetiver Oil – Vetivera zizanoides
    Lime Oil – Citrus aurantifolia
    Sage + Rosemary Oil – Salvia officinalis + Rosmarinus officinalis

    • Make a paste by adding a tablespoon of ground licorice root and a quarter teaspoon saffron to one cup of milk.
    • Apply this to your scalp and hair length and leave it on overnight.
    • The next morning, wash your hair.
    • Repeat this twice a week.

    3. Coconut Milk

    • Grate a medium-sized coconut and simmer it in a pan for five minutes.
    • Strain and cool.
    • Then add one tablespoon of each crushed black pepper and fenugreek seeds to the milk.
    • Apply on your scalp and hair.
    • After 20 minutes, rinse with a shampoo.
