How do I know what to mix.

Truth: I follow my nose and intuition, I think my confidence of mixing ingredients to make materials come from a life time of mixing concoctions.

I was a cook from a young age, cooking family meals from the age of 9. I have always been a maker, a builder a doer.

During a career spanning 20 years in Hair and beauty I was always dabbling with chemicals to improve on colours, blending hair extensions or making creams for the skin. Great Fun!

This project is no different, follow my nose as a starting point and adapt from there.

Having a record of what I’ve measured and mixed is my secret, it’s important to know it though so I know what’s gone right and why, and when it doesn’t go right there is often a pattern to what to change.

Below are images showing my initial measuring and weighing using digital scales so that I can record to point of a gram.
