I Mixed Ingredients for Shampoo at Home—Now My Hair Feels Like It Had a Luxury Spa Treatment!

My journey with Terater Biocosmetics started by chance. I wasn’t expecting to become a DIY skincare enthusiast, but the idea of crafting my own shampoo and soap drew me in. Who wouldn’t want to mix their own formulas, knowing exactly what’s going into them?

 The Shampoo Adventure
I began with the shampoo kit. Opening it was like receiving a package from a science lab—but a fragrant, all-natural one! The kit had everything: pre-measured natural ingredients, clear instructions, and eco-friendly packaging. I loved that it was all free from parabens and sulfates, things I was trying to avoid for healthier hair. When I mixed the ingredients, it was oddly satisfying. The process felt creative, like I was crafting a potion that was customized for me. But I won’t lie—it took some time, and I had to pay attention to the instructions. However, the moment I washed my hair, I felt it was worth every minute. My hair felt softer and looked shinier, and there was no dryness on my scalp, which was a big relief for me.

 The Soap Experiment
Next up, I tackled the soap kit. This part was even more fun because I got to choose the scent and add ingredients like lavender and coconut oil. I even played around with different essential oils for a personal touch. The whole experience felt like a mini aromatherapy session. The first time I used my handmade soap, I was amazed. The foam was rich and creamy, and my skin felt incredibly smooth afterward. There was none of that tight, dry feeling you sometimes get with commercial soap. I even caught myself sniffing my arm afterward because the scent was so comforting!

 What I Loved (and Didn’t)
The best part? Knowing I was using something 100% natural, and I had made it with my own hands. It made my skincare routine feel more intimate and special. Plus, the sense of accomplishment was real—I had created a product that was perfect for me, both in terms of its ingredients and its effect. Now, let me be honest about a few challenges. First off, time—if you’re used to buying ready-made cosmetics and just slapping them on, DIY will take some getting used to. Making these products requires patience. The mixing process wasn’t always smooth, and I had to tinker a bit with the ingredients to get the consistency right. There were moments when I thought, “Did I add too much lavender oil?” or “Is this going to work?” Spoiler alert: It did, but only after some trial and error.

Also, the kits are a bit more expensive compared to off-the-shelf options. So if you’re on a tight budget, that might be something to consider. However, the premium is worth it for the quality and personal touch, not to mention the eco-friendly packaging and sustainable ingredients.

This was more than just a beauty experiment—it was a journey into mindful skincare. Using products I made myself, knowing they were completely **organic** and tailored to my preferences, was empowering. It made my daily routine feel like an act of self-care, not just a chore. Plus, I loved that I was contributing to the health of the planet with sustainable packaging and cruelty-free formulas.

If you’re looking to add a creative, natural twist to your beauty routine, Terater Biocosmetics' DIY kits are a must-try. Just be ready to invest a little time and patience—trust me, the results are worth it!
