I know I know it has alot of ingredients. Save me to criticism! lol I just used an ounce of this stuff cause I wanted to see if my first batch turned out, decently well before adding all the expensive stuff.

Most ingredients are good for your skin and hair so I guessed why not.

Any advice tips?

CP btw.

Thanks so much for your time! Happy Holidays!
