🧪 May dump: formulation edition ✨

This month came with successful haircare formulas, failed formulas, lots of testing, and plenty of trial and error because cosmetic formulation and DIY haircare are all about learning and improving 😅

From homemade herbal wash day recipes to hair products, every formula taught me something new.

More haircare formulations are definitely coming your way 👀

You can catch more of the formulation journey and behind the scenes on my YouTube 🎥✨
