Formulating for Textured Hair
THE PRO RESIDENCY
Ayurvedic Haircare Product Formulation: Mind-Body Balance Through Herbs + Aromatherapy
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Fall Session Begins October 12, 2026
What is the PRO Residency Formulation Program?
You can go to AI for information. You can not go to AI for skill and systems. I teach you HOW to do WHAT I’m doing, WHILE I’m doing it — an actual framework for creating Ayurveda-inspired hair products you can put on repeat, even after the program.
The PRO Ayurveda Haircare Product Formulation Residency is a pioneering 10-week, online lab-style experience where you elevate your mindset, drop the online recipes, and discover the next-level version of yourself that gives you permission to grow.
*** This is not another course that you watch in the background. It’s a residency where you show up, formulate, get feedback, and become the change you want to see.
This comprehensive online residency is designed to equip you with the skills and framework to formulate high-performance products using the principles of Ayurveda and tailored to meet the specific needs of textured hair.
Here are the products you’ll make: ⬇
Sulfate-Free Herbal Hair Cleanser
Advanced technique for creating high-quality shampoo for curly hair.
Hair Cream Moisturizer
Make an eco-friendly moisturizing creams for hair hydration.
Therapeutic Hair Treatment
Creating intensive treatments for damaged, dry, or colored hair.
Traditional Ayurvedic Hair Oil
Design a potent herbal blend for hair growth and scalp care.
Herbal Hair Conditioner
Craft a nourishing conditioner for smooth, healthy hair.
The Application Process
The PRO Residency program is capped to ensure the best experience for the students and to keep feedback personal.

How You’ll Transform
-
A tight, intensive 10-week container (Fall session begins October, 2026) that forces momentum and eliminates the “I’ll do it later” trap.
Same deep transformation as a 6-month course but compressed into 2 ½ months so you can launch faster and see ROI sooner.
-
Learn directly from a formulator who speaks both Ayurvedic tradition and modern cosmetic science, with live, real-time troubleshooting.
Never formulate in isolation again, your cohort becomes your “lab partners,” sharing wins, fixes, and accountability every week.
-
Walk away with a fully tested product line (cleanser, conditioner, moisturizer, treatment, oil) specifically engineered for curly, coily, and kinky textured hair.
Each formula is documented with INCI names, pH data, and stability notes - ready to move from “kitchen recipe”’ to sellable product.,
-
Every Sunday deliverable gets scored on a transparent 5-criteria rubric (Ayurvedic accuracy, stability, texture, documentation, innovation).
No vague “good job” feedback, you get exact scores (e.g., “8/10 on Vata synergy, 4/10 on preservation”) so you know exactly what to fix before the next batch.
-
Join 2-3 hours/week of live Zoom “mix-along” labs where you formulate, question, and fix problems in real time instead of guessing later.
Hot-seat critiques where residents have the opportunity to get their formulas reviewed live, so everyone learns from real-world mistakes and breakthroughs.
-
Move beyond “herb list” theory to practical formulation: matching doshas and herbs to modern emulsifiers, pH, and preservation systems.
Specialize in textured hair: how Vata dryness, Pitta inflammation, and Kapha oiliness actually change your surfactant and oil choices for coils.
-
A private, members-only space that acts as your 24/7 lab report for posting photos, asking “why did this separate?”, and celebrating wins.
Peer feedback loops that catch errors before you ship (e.g., “Your conditioner feels waxy; try lowering cetyl alcohol by 2%”) so you waste fewer ingredients.
-
Graduate with a digital PRO Ayurveda Haircare Formulation Residency Certificate you can add to your website, LinkedIn, and social media.
Certification is achievement-based (80% + rubric average + final showcase), not just participation, so your badge signals real skill to clients and retailers.
By the end of the Residency, you will have:
✅ A 5-product Ayurvedic haircare capsule (cleanser, conditioner, treatment, moisturizer, herbal oil) formulated, tested, and refined.
✅ A clear, repeatable process for turning any idea into a safe, stable product.
✅ The confidence to step into the role of Ayurvedic formulator and founder - not just a DIY hobbyist.
Life AFTER The Residency Experience
The Residency is more than advanced training—it is a threshold.
A space where Ayurveda moves from theory into lived wisdom.
Students often describe the experience as life‑changing, not because everything suddenly becomes easy, but because something essential settles into place. Confidence replaces hesitation. Clarity replaces overwhelm. Practice becomes personal, intuitive, and deeply rooted.
By the end of the Residency, many realize they are no longer trying to ‘practice Ayurvedic haircare.’ They are simply living it.
Who It’s For
❌ Past YOU: The version of you who felt scared, unsure, or overwhelmed by formulation. That version of you needed safety, not strategy.
❌ Present YOU: The version of you who believed you can piece everything together alone through YouTube, trial-and-error, and endless Googling. That path leads to burnout, not mastery.
✅ Future YOU: The version of you who is ready for transformation — the you who wants to buld a ral business, create intentional Ayurvedic products, and step into your role as a confident formulator.
If that’s you, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

The Investment
Many founders spend 2-3 years and thousands of dollars on trial-and-error. This 10-week residency gives you a clear framework, live support, and a complete capsule so you don’t have to pay that ‘confusion tax’.
The value inside your 10-week Residency
If you tried to piece this together on your own, you’d invest:
30+ hours of live lab time and coaching
→ If you booked me privately at $200/hour, that’s $6,000 in mentorship and troubleshooting time.
Formulation kit
→ No hunting suppliers, calculating ratios, or spending $100s on bulk ingredients you may never use. Your formulation kit contains premium ingredients (enough to test each of your products 3 times), PPE, and lab equipment that arrive ready for your lab sessions.
Done-for-you templates, tools, and checklists
→ Formula worksheets, batch logs, test trackers, label/INCI templates and launch planners worth $500+ if you hired a consultant or designer to create them.
Private community and cohort support
→ A focused space where other Ayurvedic formulators share formulas, feedback, and real results - easily $1,000 in value compared to going it alone or joining generic groups.
Professional certification
→ A structured assessment process and PRO certificate you can use to build trust with clients and customers, valued at $500 or more.
Total Value: $8,200+
Resident Tuition: ONLY $2,197
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Every session is recorded and uploaded within 24 hours. You have 12 months of access to all lessons, templates, and replays. The cohort model works best when you show up most weeks, but you won’t be kicked out for watching replays. The key is to keep posting your deliverables and asking for feedback, even if you’re a week behind.
-
No. Each resident receives a Formulation Kit shipped to your door.

It’s everything you’ll need to make all the products in your capsule.
