Hi guys! I always want to experiment on different formulas, but what formulas do you guys want to see in the future? I like to experiment with everything except sunscreens and “whitening creams” (for obvious reasons). Let me know what y’all are looking for and I’ll try to integrate them! 😁

Ayurvedic Shine & Define Gel
FEATURED FORMULA
Make an herbal gel using curry leaf, neem leaf and holy basil (aka Tulsi) to help strengthen and protect the hair while giving shiny definition to your curls
HI! I would like to see you create a formula for a curling hair mousse.
Mousse can be tricky. I’ll try though. Thanks!
Sprays. As a highly porous natural, a foundational recipe we could change up the featured herbs/teas/ayurveda would be nice. I have been at the mercy of also figuring out a spray bottle that will mist something properly that’s any thicker than water, or even just a tea ugh. Products/consistencies that come to mind are Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave In, Shea Moisture Coconut Leave In, As I am CocoShea Spray (this one is more like water). Not Your Mother’s also has a couple curly hair kids sprays that are more like water but the ingredients have good moisture impact for being so thin!
Well, you know I have a watermelon based conditioning spray (Watermelon Hydro Spray – https://www.curlytea.com/1206/watermelon-hydro-spray-vid.html) that you can load up with teas and extracts if you want to. 🙂
Ya know, I was looking at that earlier but I’m cone free and wasn’t having any luck with relevant substitutions for all the other stuff either so it was going to end up a mess. I have hundreds of ingredients from Making Cosmetics, Ingredients to Die For, Lotioncrafter, etc but basically none of these newer featured ingredients so I was hopeful for some additional formula varieties to achieve similar results, if it exists of course, before spending another milli to add to the hoard lol
I understand. I can’t do no-cones anymore. My hair is way too high porosity and full of color (lol!) for no-cones. But you can try this: skip the PEG-12 Dimethicone in that formula and add 2% Triethylhexanoin into PHASE C with the solubilizer.
If you don’t want to use a solubilizer, you can use lotionpro 165 in PHASE B, but you’ll have to heat PHASE A and B and add the extracts, conditioner and hydrolyzed proteins during Cool Down.
