I am going to try to put this as nicely as possible, but bear in mind I am one of these Aspies that has no emotional intelligence:

If you want to try to copy Lush’s Roots Hair Treatment, please don’t insult us by pretending this is some formula you have come up with. I suggest that if this is your route, you’d be best off checking Swift’s blog, which has various articles on how to knock off a commercial product. And having said all that, is Lush the best you could come up with?

Hi Belassi,

You might in deed be “of those Aspies that has no emotional intelligence”

Firstly, I have NOT claimed that the above formula is mine!, I have used this forum for a while now and have not had any problem and wouldn’t like to start that now.

I am very aware of swiftcraftymonkey and I think she is doing a fantastic thing teaching those who want to know how to make their own products at home mainly because it is fun and interesting. I have in the past duplicated products with some changes at home for own personal use and I have had fun doing. I tried making the above product and was unsuccessful and the silly me thought I could ask this without being blasted misunderstood.

I love the product and would love to know how I would do it at home, it is that simple! It is not mine and never claimed so.

I suggest you ask for clarification and stop being an arrogant grumpy old man

have a good day

@Rahma - Perhaps if you tell us what you have tried and what the results were (even failures are results) then maybe we could give you some suggestions of what to try next. Show us your formula and tell us what was unsuccessful about it.

@Ozgirl,

Thank you, sorry for being vague.

I did figure it out in the end with a little help.

I can’t get this right! making a treatment at home…
