Hot oils are probably the most underrated hair treatment. Hot oil can help to condition, soften and revive dull and dry hair instantly. In DIY Hot Oil Treatments Course, Heather introduces you to a range of different hot oil treatments designed to tackle specific hair issues.

Through this book, the first in the DIY Hair Products Series, you will understand how to select the best oils for your hair type (thin or thick, damaged or healthy); and for specific treatments: scalp massage, pre-shampoo hot oil treatments and sealing in hair moisture. To design custom oil treatments you will also want to get DIY Hair Butters Course, the next book in the series to learn more about vegetable butters.

Knowledge on formulating is built up from one book to the next.

Book 1, DIY Hot Oil Treatments Course, discusses carrier oils in great depth as well as how to mix carrier oils and essential oils to create powerful, custom hot oil treatments.

Book 2, DIY Hair Butters Course, discusses vegetable butters in detail as well as how to mix vegetable butters, carrier oils and essential oils to create rich, custom whipped butters for body and hair.

Book 3, DIY Shampoos Course, covers the chemistry of water and surfactants as well as how to make a quality shampoo.

Book 4, DIY Conditioners Course, covers three categories of ingredients in depth: cationic polymers and compounds, fatty alcohols and essential oils and how to make custom conditioners for your hair type and specific hair issues.

Book 5, DIY Moisturizers Course, covers most of the other ingredients that go into hair care formulations; namely: emollients, film formers, humectants, preservatives, proteins and silicones.

Book 6, DIY Detanglers Course, covers specific hydrosols. In addition the appendixes help one to build a hair care routine and improve the formulator’s understanding of hair by explaining its structure, the different types of hair as well as the many hair issues.

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.

Making a shampoo is a lot easier than you would think. If you think commercial, store-bought shampoos are too strong or too generic for your hair type, then with the help of this book, you will never have to buy another bottle again.

In the third book in the DIY Hair Products Series, Heather shows you how to make your own shampoo by introducing you to the most common ingredients that go into a shampoo. If you have dry hair, you no longer have to pay a premium for sulfate-free shampoos because Heather shows you how to make them yourself!

For those with tangle-prone hair, this sixth book in the DIY Hair Products Series is probably the most important. Every detangler recipe in the book is very different, but one is sure to be a perfect match for you. Heather’s personal favorite is the “Love Me” detangler for weak and brittle hair.

As a lover of all things natural, Heather goes into depth about the benefit of different hydrosols.

Having built up your knowledge on how to make key hair products, Heather also explains the structure of hair itself so you have a better understanding of “the thing” you’re making products for.

The book also takes you through the hair benefits of different essential oils so that you can make more natural conditioners, if you wish.

After whipped butters, conditioners are probably the second most exciting product to make. The most fascinating moment in the process happens when you have heated up two sets of ingredients, oil-based ones and water-based ones, and you bring them together. In that instant, they go from two clear solutions to a yummy yogurt-like cream. It feels like magic.

Review received via email:"I absolutely love this book; its very simple, detailed and so full of life. This is the first time I have been able to sit down and enjoy reading a book about hair and it was well worth my time. It only took one reading. I only started really taking care of my hair after stumbling across some articles by Heather and immediately subscribed to receive her emails. I now religiously follow her blogs. They are fun and engaging and so so simple to follow through especially reading hair fairytales from queens around the globe. I have been able to reconnect better with my hair through this book and more importantly, take care of it accordingly. I've even shared hair tips with my friends and they've exclaimed to me "it works"....all thanks to Heather. Thankyou so very much for bringing the hair bible to life and I look forward to more hair literature from you." Rosa D
