I beat an egg into a basin then put some apple vinegar and lime essences and some water before stir all the ingredients together. I keep stirring the mixtures until some bubbles show up. Phew, I really miss the blender from my world. If I can use blender here, it only takes a couple minutes to make this shampoo.
I ask a small jar from Mrs. Martina and pour the mixture inside the jar and seal it with some skin paper that usually used for the lid. Although I know they curious with what I'm made, it's not time to tell them what this is. So, after saying thanks to the kitchen crew and Mrs. Martina I leave the kitchen and return to my room.
When I arrive at my room, my three lovely maids are already waiting there. I see my room already been cleaned well by them.
"Henryyyy! Brother henryyyyy" three of them suddenly hug me together.
"Eh? Eh? What happen? You act like never see me for ages"
I'm confused with this attitude of my girls.
"We already hear what you do to sister Eliza"
Oh, my! Rumors spread like wildfire in this castle, and I can guess what they want from me. Rather than my maids, they more like a spoiled girlfriend to me.
"So what do you girls want?"
"Do to our hairs too!" they look at me with blinking eyes full with hope.
I'm sighed, it's not that I don't want to do that, but I'm really busy today, but I don't have the heart to break their hopes. Maybe it's better to teach them how to do that, and then they can do that to their selves. Oh right! When I'm going for salt –making mission, I can ask them to take care of my sister and do her hair too.
"Alright girls, bring the comb, hairpin and some ribbons here"
They immediately leave my room like a hurricane and return like a storm.
"Okay, let's start with Carina first. Carina, you sit down there will you?" I point at the couch. Carina goes to the couch with a happy smile.
Clara and Claire seem a bit dejected that I choose to do Carina first. But I know to handle this, I whispering something to their ears.
"Girls, aren't you already given my love this morning? Give Carina some happiness, will you?"
They blushing but can't refute my words. Oh yeah, it always works and i love to see those blushing faces.
I take a seat behind Carina and start combing her hair to make it easier to make braids. I also instruct Clara and Claire to watch and learn how I make it. I start by combing the hair and divide the hair from the middle head into two equal parts. Then I put some hair from front and side section and made a braid that centered in the middle of the head. With the help of some hairpin to hold the braid, I do the same process on the other side. After two braids were done, I make a twist from each braid and use a hairpin to hold the position. Finally, I knot the two braids together using a white ribbon to hold the braids intact. The twisting braids that I make perform a heart shape in Carina's head.

"Okay, its done," I said that while pat Carina head
"Really?" she stands from her seat and looking for a mirror. Since there's a big mirror in my room, she didn't have to go to her room to see her hair.
After seeing her hairdo, she's screaming in joy and jump into me giving a thigh hug.
"Brother Henry! Thank you! I like it very much"
"You like it? Good"
"I love you too" and after saying that Carina kisses my left and right cheek.
I can only smile wryly because I can sense a scary aura emancipated from Clara and Claire.
"Alright, alright, now let me go, you sister waiting her turn okay"
"Okay, brother Henry" Carina smiles shyly.
Next, I did hairdo for Claire because her hair is thinner compared with Carina, I make a simpler version of what I did to Carina. I still make the heart shape braid but not twist the braid and make it look thick. And personally, I more like Claire in her loosened hair. After I'm done with Claire and she looks at the result, she also hugs me and kisses my cheek like Carina. If Carina didn't present, I'm sure she will kiss my lips like usual.

Since it's almost lunchtime, I ask Claire and Carina to prepare lunch.
"Hey, while I'm doing Clara's hair, why don't you two prepare lunch? I especially go to the kitchen and teach them special recipe you know"
"Really, brother Henry? Is this as delicious as last night?"
"You'll know after you taste it"
"Okay, sister Claire let's go!" Carina drag Claire hands to go to the kitchen. She seems very enthusiastic about this special recipe. After they leave, it's only me and Clara in the room. I smile at her while patting my tight, and seems to understand what the meaning, she stands and then sit on my laps, landed a kiss on my lips.
"Don't say anything Henry, I know what you want to say. You can't do like what you do to them to my hair right?"
I just nodded. Clara's hair is not as long as Claire and Carina. She looks a bit dejected with my nod
"Although I can't make like them on you, I still can make something on your hair"
"Really? Please do Henry" gloominess suddenly disappear from her eyes.
I start doing her hairstyle since I don't have much time. I just make two braids from her front hair that circled her head and knotted in the back of her head by a small ribbon. I cover the ribbon with her loose hair which makes the ribbon unseen.

Not only with braids, I take some white decoration flowers from my room and insert it over her ears. Right when I'm finish doing her hairs, Claire and Carina enter the room with the lunch food.
"Sister Clara, you don't know the fuss..."
Carina hasn't finished her words and only seeing Clara with admiration eyes, and so with Claire. Clara which seen with those eyes feel awkward and asking
"Why…why you two look at me like that. Is there anything strange with my face?"
"Sister Clara, you are beautiful but now you become more beautiful!" Carina says that excitedly
Claire only nodded to support Carina words.
"Am I …really?" Clara still doesn't believe what she heard and looking her face in the mirror. And she only covers her mouth with unbelief looks in her eyes.
"Is this me?"
"Of course that is you. What do you see? An angel or a fairy?" I tease her a bit
She smiles sheepishly hearing that with a low voice she say,
"Thank you, Henry"
"You welcome Clara. So, can we have lunch now?"
They start prepared the table for lunch. Their good mood makes they smile all the time and bring cheerful atmosphere in my room.
