Black Friday

So I am running a Black Friday sale on Black Friday of course for 15% off my entire shop.  Just use BlackFriday as the coupon code at checkout.  This sale only lasts one day.

On to other news,  I have started testing the reformulated Avocado and Honey Daily Conditioner for damage repair and most definitely the irish moss gave it more slip.  I still have to recheck the pH and make sure its about a 5 maybe a little less.  As for the deep conditioner version, I have not reformulated that yet but will definitely do that after the Thanksgiving holiday. 

I also decided I wanted to do a hydrating hair mask based on roses.  I want rosehip oil in this one as well as powdered roses and some rose water.  I may put a touch of rose clay in it, but I will see.  I haven't decided if I am going to put any other goodies in it but you guys know me by now, once I get in the "lab" anything can happen.

BTW, I have created an oil free conditioner!  I know, oil free, but this was actually created as a "refresher" for people with oily hair.  My tester decided to use it as a leave in and loved the results.  I let someone else buy it as a pre market product and she loved it.  So ladies and gentlemen I think I have an accidental hit on my hands.

Avocado and Honey Deep Conditioner, the first test

Ok guys, so I did my first test run on the deep conditioner that I have been working on and I definitely want to do some changes. 
First, I wanted to just use a thicken aloe as the water base, which is fine but I add so many ingredients that it thins out and I have to re thicken it.  Which leads me to my next issue, when it is the thickens that I want, it is not as smooth as I would like. 
My next big issue, I want the hair to have more slip and for whatever reason, it doesn't.
But the good points: my hair is definitely strong and it did provide some conditioning effects.
So here is what I want to do, add a lot more marshmallow root and Irish moss.  Adjust my pH down some, (the previous batch was about a 6, I want to make it a 5.) And lastly, I will add a conditioning ester as well as my detangling wax.

If the new batch works well, I will start doing product testing and move on to the Rose Water Hydrating Hair Mask.  Yes I did think of something else.  But I will talk about that later.

Hemp Hair and Skin Butter

Just completed a custom blended hair butter for a client who has nut allergies & a sensitive scalp.  I am  really excited about this one. I  took unrefined hemp seed oil & castor oil & infused it w/ a few herbs good for sensitive skin as well as hair growth.  I  then added this infusion to raw shea butter, added rosemary & orange eo's. No wax, no preservatives, & not a drop of nut oils. Maybe market material.

Pomegranate Nite Cream

So I finally finished a test batch of the pomegranate nite cream and just need to test it.  Guess what people this is about as natural as it can get.  I have bunch of extracts in this one including sugar cane, bilberry and orange fruit all known for there AHA content.  I also have rice bran oil, rose hip oil and of course pomegranate oil.  To preserve this dreamy concoction I actually use radish extract.  You read that right, radish extract.  Now if I can get some people to sign up to be product testers.  It seems everyone wants to test hair products but nothing else.  Ce la vie.
