Balinese woman and flower
Visited Klungkung regency yesterday, found something interesting here. I took a picture of an old woman with flowers decorated her hair.
From the old day until now, flower takes an important part not just for the offering but also supporting the Balinese people specially woman as hair decoration.
The specific flower for this usage called Cempaka or Sandat as you can see from the old lady picture here.
When I was a kid, I used sandat to make a fragrant for my hair gel which is (don’t laugh) made from pure coconut home made oil. It’s natural, no chemical inside and cheap. I am sure some of people in the village around Bali still use it.
* As shown on the second picture, some flower also as a decoration for the dancer, those flower are : frangipani mixed with yellow cempaka or Gumitir *
