Hair

Many natural haircare recipes online are a bit too “crunchy” and don’t have the appeal of professional quality products.

I’ve taken several classes in natural haircare products formulation so I can offer you recipes for a variety of safe and effective hair care recipes that will leave your hair healthy and shiny.

Gone are the days of relying on coconut oil and Castile soap for avoiding toxins! Use pH-balanced, professional-grade products that you can easily make at home instead.

Not sure what to make?

My favorite recipe is my homemade hair conditioner. It detangles wonderfully and leaves hair feeling soft.

For the most sustainable (and and travel-friendly) choice, though, I’ve also shared recipes for both shampoo bars and conditioner bars. They’re a hit with travelers since it is so much easier to bring and use.

Looking to style your hair naturally? why not try to style and nourish your hair with this homemade flaxseed hair gel. It’s perfect for defining curls and waves, but also helps style hair when straightening.
