I burned my forehead once making products. It was over 15 years ago, but you never forget something like that.
I have yet to share many stories about my journey as the formulator of Urbanbella Products. Specifically, I have not shared the story of when I ended up with a scorched forehead, working on a batch of No.14 Organic Coconut Cream Repair Mask. And yes, it left a scar and all! As a product formulator, I've had my fair share of trials and tribulations, but I will always remember this one.
Picture this: there I was, stirring a pot of Natural Hair Goodness that would eventually become our beloved Number 14 Organic Coconut Cream Repair Mask. I made an error amid my mixing frenzy and let my batch of No.14 get too hot. A volcanic eruption of conditioner spewed out of the pot, and a nice-sized amount was planted on my forehead. Spoiler alert: The product ended well—not my forehead.
As I'm mixin' away, thinking I'm the next mad scientist of hair care, bam!—a sizzle on my forehead that sent me running into other room for CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, cold compress or whatever you are supposed to do when a miniature volcano erupts onto your face. I managed to earn myself a temporary forehead accessory I didn't sign up for.
Every setback has a silver lining. Through a bit of trial, a lot of error, and a few choice words, I developed a product that could transform the driest natural hair in one day. The Number 14 Organic Coconut Cream Repair Mask was born from the ashes of my DIY misadventures (or, in this case, the slightly charred skin).
And yes, I took this photo recently for dramatic effect, you know, to help you get the picture. LOL!
