Lately, I’ve been diving deep into crafting my own haircare formulations mixing oils, testing herbal infusions, all that fun stuff. It’s been a blast, but I’m hitting a wall when it comes to scaling it sustainably. Between sourcing quality ingredients and the time spent tweaking recipes, I’m worried the costs (and my sanity) might spiral.
For those of you who’ve turned a passion project like this into something profitable, how do you strike that balance? Do you set limits on how many new experiments you run at once? Any tips for keeping ingredient costs down without sacrificing quality? I’d love to hear how you manage the creative side without burning out or breaking the bank.
