Workshop Overview

An Insiders' Guide to Deep Conditioning Hair!

Deep conditioning starts from within the follicle and that's where this course takes you. We explore the science and beauty of caring for hair naturally. We explore hair nutrition and chemistry before diving into our hands-on 'how to' guide to product application and selection. This course specifically covers the needs of curly, frizzy, coily and/ or damaged hair but the scalp conditioning tips and insights apply to all hair types.

During this one day course you will customise and build a range of six different formulations all designed to work with rather than against the hair.

The course is designed to suit brand owners, hair product enthusiasts, stylists and salon owners alike and while the emphasis is on natural ingredients as actives, some safe synthetics may be present in the formula bases.

Key topics covered in this course include:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of scalp and hair health and apply that to natural product creation
  • Become familiar with hair classifications and the needs of different hair types.
  • Understand how different ingredients and technologies can be used to hydrate the hair.
  • Investigate different vegetable oils and be able to select emollient ingredients based on their suitability for scalp protection, shine, nutrition and cleansing.
  • Evaluate different protein sources for hair strength, flexibility and hydration.
  • Understand how different plant based ingredients including extracts and essential oils can add value to their hair formulations
  • Explore the psychology of good and bad hair days as we tap into what makes a product click with your audience.
