Tips:

Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the most flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When popping the popcorn, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the popcorn from popping evenly.
Keep the pan covered: Keeping the pan covered while popping the popcorn will help to trap the steam and make the popcorn fluffy.
Season the popcorn immediately: Once the popcorn is popped, season it immediately with the herb mixture. This will help the seasoning to adhere to the popcorn.
Store the popcorn in an airtight container: Store the leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
