DIY Moisturizers Course (Book 5, DIY Hair Products): A Primer on How to Make Proper Hair Moisturizers (Neno Natural's DIY Hair Products)

If you have already been through the first four books in the DIY Hair Products Series, you are probably feeling very confident about formulating products. The fifth book brings all your experience together by elaborating on the different types of ingredients that go into hair products.

In addition, Heather explains how rinse-off conditioners are different from leave-in conditioners (a.k.a. moisturizers). They are both made in the same way; the only difference comes in the concentration of ingredients. Now you have all the resources you need to make a leave-in conditioner that perfectly matches your hair type and problems. Enjoy.
