Happy Hour Hair Party 4/10 Lotion Recipe

Classic Lotion Recipe

Nourish your skin at home with ingredients found in your kitchen. Find my how to video on my Instagram @HairbyHelzer





OIL PART: 1 cup oil

Herb infused oil is great but you can use pretty much any kind of oil you like. Olive oil is okay, but I prefer a nice grape seed oil, jojoba oil or MCT oil.

1 TSP Shea butter or Cocoa Butter

½ oz of Beeswax


WATER PART: ½ cup Aloe Vera Gel or Juice (the inner fillet)

½ cup Hydrosol

Hydrosols are amazing herbal waters with healing properties and mild fragrances. Some of my favorites are Rose Hydrosol, Rose Geranium Hydrosol, and Orange Blossom Hydrosol.


STEPS:

  1. Melt down oil parts together in a double boiler under very low heat, stir often until combined and all liquefied. Turn off the heat.

  2. Let the Oil mixture cool until the finger test comes back warmer than your skin, but before the wax starts to harden.

  3. While Oil cools, Add water parts together. Blend together on a low whip setting to combine.

  4. With the Blender still on low or “whip”, keep the lid of the blender on to prevent splashin but remove the small top cap. Add the oil mix to the water very slowly in a steady drizzle. While blending, every so often, take the top completely off to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Add the oil until completely combined.

  5. At this point if you want to add essential oils just add 3-5 drops. A little goes a long way.

  6. Now hope for the best, a harmonious blend of oil and water. If the water and oil are the right temperature and the whip is just right and the oil stream is steady you will create a luscious cream.

  7. Bottle your creation and store in a cool dark place. This lotion can keep for up to a month in the fridge.

  Hello, I'm Rachel Helzer. I grew up in Long Beach California in the 90's and moved to the Bay Area 12 years ago. Rachel was a popular name for girls when I was growing up, so all of us Rachel's went by our last names to avoid confusion. Sobriquet Helzer stuck, through beauty school and to this day I go by Helzer. I do like the name Rachel, and I answer to both so feel free to use whichever name feels good to you.

   I practice Hair Craft, combining creative haircuts and color with a deep love of nature. I am a master stylist with 14 years behind the chair, and a certified Western Herbalist. I bring a holistic approach to my hair styling and product recommendations. I use my herbal background to offer unique hair and scalp spa treatments that include aromatherapy, scalp analysis, hair teas and cranial massage. 

   My training started with Bumble and Bumble as well as Wella International. After graduating from their programs I took classes with Nick Arrojo,and got into curly hair with Ouidad and Deva curl techniques. ​A curly girl myself, I specialize in unique hair textures and transformative hair cuts.       

   Today I work with the eco conscious brand Davines. Education is the driving force of my practice, bringing clients the best my hair craft has to offer. By working with sustainable beauty and herbal companies I offer the highest quality of products that are safe for my clients and gentle on the planet.

    As a queer womxn I strive to provide a safe space for each one of my clients to express themselves. I love creative hair coloring! Rainbow color melts, mermaid waves, pink ombrés, purple highlights, color blocks, platinum pixies, gem stone tints and more! If you can dream it I can help you get there in a way that maintains the integrity of your hair and scalp. I also love glamorous hairstyles, finger waves and updo's! Wedding hair actually makes me happy. I am Certified with EasiHair Pro as an extensions specialist and I am well-versed in wigs, hair pieces and hair additions. 

   At the heart of my work is a deep understanding that we all want to be seen for our unique and authentic selves. Helping my clients feel beautiful in their own skin is what it's all about. Every body ( space intended)  is beautiful and there is no such thing as a bad hair day.

Truly,

R.Helzer
