An early start today and I was in charge as Martyn had to go elsewhere and then be back home for a delivery before wandering in around half past twelve. Phew! It was a day of refills and stock deliveries. And we have customer deliveries to do as well tonight, so we'll be late home. I shall be glad of a sit down 🚚

Time flew past today but here are some more ideas for Father's Day ... 🎁

Coffee and chocolate always goes down well ☕️🍫 Might treat myself to a bar of chocolate later 😋

Lewis has more information on his hair oils ...

🚨‼️ New Product Alert – Hair Oils! ‼️🚨

I was asked by one of our lovely stockists, Ellie from the Ethical Gift Shop & Refillery in Huntly, if we could create some hair oils. And when it comes to developing new products, saying no isn’t really in my vocabulary!

After plenty of trial and error, a few frustrations, and lots of excitement while figuring out which oils work best for different hair types, we’re delighted to finally introduce 8 unique hair oil blends.

✨ Blend 1: Shine
✨ Blend 2: Lightweight Conditioning
✨ Blend 3: Deep Moisture & Shine
✨ Blend 4: Deep Repair & Rich Moisture
✨ Blend 5: Lightweight Frizz Control & Shine
✨ Blend 6: Strengthening & Growth Support
✨ Blend 7: Mid-Weight Frizz Control & Shine
✨ Blend 8: Lightweight Frizz Control & Shine

Each blend has been carefully created using specific oils, extracts, and scents chosen not only to smell wonderful but also to help support your hair’s individual needs.

All of our hair oils can be customised with your preferred scent – you’ll find more information on each individual product listing online.

Designed to be applied before washing, these oils make the perfect pre-shampoo hair serums, helping to nourish and condition your hair before your usual haircare routine.

Why not give them a try?

🌐 Website: https://www.craftedcomforts.co.uk/hair-care

Or pop into Ellie & Martyn’s shop, Ethical Gift Shop & Refillery, to pick one up in person.

👀 Over the next 8 days, I’ll be sharing each blend individually, explaining the oils used and the benefits they offer. Stay tuned if you’d like to learn more and find the perfect blend for your hair!

There are eight different types to choose from depending on your hair type. They can also be made up in various scents. Why not pop in and have a look 👀
