It is quite difficult to find natural
products for skin or hair care on the market, especially, here in Ndola. I am
not really into making my own beauty products mostly because some ingredients
are no easy to find unless ordered them overseas. However, this hair cream I have
made is my first one and would gladly say that l am really pleased the way it has
turned out.
All the ingredients are easily found in
town and it will only take about fifteen minutes of your precious time to make
it.
Next time I will add some Vitamin E to the
cream to refine it further.
The cream can be customized to get your
desired scent.

If you make this cream, Please give me your
feedback in the comments. It will be much appreciated.
I made mine almost 3 months ago and I love it! Tho I store mine in the fridge.. What are the benefits of storing it at room temperature? Otherwise It's definitely worth the try.
ReplyDeleteI really love this cream , I made a small portion and stored at room temperature not in direct light .I think if you make a big portion it is better to store in the fridge but there is no benefits of storing at RT, it is just a matter of preference.
