Certain times of the year, seasonal weather conditions as well as your location, we may be unable to ship at the time of your order. If an order is placed during this time, we will ship your order out just as soon as Mother Nature makes your selections available in the spring. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Typically, our Florida customers are spared this delay, assuming Mother Nature hasn’t made this impossible.
Quantities are very limited.

Perhaps the most common use of 'awapuhi is as a shampoo and conditioner for the hair and is also used in massage. The clear, slimy juice present in the mature flower heads is excellent for softening and bringing shininess to the hair. It can be left in the hair or rinsed out. Hawaiian women often pick or cut the flowerheads of this plant in the forest, as they approach a pool or waterfall for a refreshing summer bath, leave the flowers atop a nearby rock, and then squeeze the sweet juices into their hair and over their bodies when the swim is completed.
