article: You'll want to have enough soap on hand to keep up with your orders. You don't want to have orders coming in and no soap to supply, but on the other hand, you don't want to invest money in making soaps that aren't selling. When you are just starting out, it might pay to be a little conservative, but keep good track of your sales so that you can keep the proper inventory of soap around. Label and package your stock so that it is ready to ship or sell. Follow any labeling regulations in effect in your area. For example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that you list all ingredients of a soap on its label. The amount you want to sell your soap for will depend upon your market and product. For instance, you might price luxury soaps higher than those meant for everyday use. Research what competitors charge for soaps in your area, and set prices that are higher or lower, depending on your sales tactics. Consider offering specials, like sales around holidays, reduced rates on bulk orders, and offers like "buy 2, get 1 free." Don't set prices that are too low or too high. Try to set prices that will allow you to take care of your up-front costs (supplies, transportation, etc.), and hopefully leave a profit. If your sales increase, you can expect your profits to grow, but you don't want to set prices so high at first that you don't sell anything. To be successful at selling soap, you need to understand your market, and how to reach it. Spread the word about your soaps whenever and however you can, but target your primary market in particular. Common advertising possibilities include: Word-of-mouth Social media Advertisements online and in traditional media Business cards Sales displays Handmade crafts like soaps can be easily sold at various markets and other events. Don't be afraid to travel outside of your local area either, as this can increase your potential customer base. Opportunities may include: Arts and crafts shows Farmers markets Home parties Many consumers shop and seek information online, even if they eventually buy products in person. If you want to succeed in the soap making business, be prepared to market your products online. This means not only making soaps available for sale via retailers like Etsy or your own website, but also promoting your product online through social media. If you sell online, you will need to consider shipping costs and how to handle them. Consider whether you will have customers pay for some or all of the shipping themselves, and whether or not you will offer a variety of shipping options (standard delivery, express, overnight, etc.). You can approach existing stores about the possibility of selling yours soaps in them, or investigate opening your own physical store. If you do decide to open your own store, you will have to look for a location, negotiate rent and insurance, decide on business hours, and make other considerations.

article: of every day. In order for your hair to stay soft and smooth, it needs the natural conditioning of sebum, the oil that your scalp produces to keep your hair strong. If you wash your hair every day, you rinse away this nourishing oil, leaving your strands feeling dry and coarse instead of smooth and silky. Find the washing routine that's right for you. Some people do it 2 or 3 times a week, while others wash every other day if their hair is especially oily. If your hair looks or feels greasy in between washed, apply dry shampoo to the roots. Massage it in to your scalp, then gently brush your hair to distribute the product. It might be hard to wash your hair in ice-cold water, but if you want silky, smooth hair, make it as chilly as you can take. Cold water helps the hair shaft lie flat, so when it dries it has a smooth, shiny appearance. Hot water has the opposite effect, creating frizz and drying out your hair. Sulfates are found in many cleansers, including dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, and more. Sulfates are effective and washing away oil and grease, but using this ingredient on your hair can be too harsh, causing frizz and damage to your hair. Look for sulfate-free shampoo that will cleanse your hair without stripping away its protective oils. Conditioner helps hair stay smooth and silky by moisturizing it and keeping it tangle-free. Look for a conditioner that will keep your hair smooth without weighing it down. Silicone-free conditioner is best, since silicones build up in your hair and cause it to look dull after a while. Opt for a product that has glycerin in it, instead. Trimming off the dry, coarse ends of your hair will keep it looking lighter, smoother, and softer. Aim to get regular trims to remove split or damaged ends. You don't need to hack a ton of hair off each time, simply trimming 1 inch (2.5cm) or so should do the trick. Cotton pillowcases can absorb moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and dull. Swap out your pillowcase for silk one, or wrap your tresses in a silk scarf before going to bed. Your hair will be smooth and silky in the morning.

You can apply a seal by rubbing your document with normal household candle wax, although a more complete seal can be accomplished using a dipping technique. To seal your paper with wax, you'll need: Normal candle (or beeswax) Metal pot (optional; dip technique) Paper Tongs (optional; dip technique) In a pinch you can use the wax from normal household candles, and you can even use scented ones for a unique scent. Colored candles can tint your paper, giving it a fun and creative touch. Classically, paraffin has been used to waterproof clothing, canvas, and other items. However, you should use paraffin in a well ventilated place, and be aware that it is fossil fuel derived and poisonous if ingested. A nontoxic wax sealer intended to unwaxed items, like beeswax or Otter Wax, is a great option for consideration. You will need to lay your paper on a sturdy, flat surface that is dry and free of dust or grime. You don't want to stain your paper before it's sealed against the elements! Clear any clutter out of your way so that your work area is free and clear. You should test your wax on a separate sheet of scrap paper before trying the paper you want to preserve. Different kinds of wax will have different levels of softness, so by rubbing your wax on your scrap paper you'll be able to judge how firmly you'll need to press for the best application. You should do this over all over the document you wish to seal, on the front and back until it has a slick, waxy feel. You may need to rub softly many times in a row to get your wax to stick to the paper, or you may be able to press the wax firmly into the paper to apply it in thick swatches. Be careful not to rub too hard or you might rip your paper. Rubbing can take time and can sometimes leave an incomplete seal on your paper. Beeswax, however, can be melted in a pot or crock pot so you can dip your document right into the wax. Use medium heat until the wax is in a liquid state. If you are using your fingers, you should be careful not to burn yourself while dipping the paper. Dip your document quickly into the beeswax to seal it. Use a pair of tongs to completely immerse the document. If you are using your fingers, dip the document in parts. Hold your paper by the dry end until your seal is firm and cool. Then you can turn your document and dip the other portion into the wax. The wax will be bonded to the surface of your paper now, and will protect it from moisture, grime, and even dust. Where the wax has not bonded, your paper could still get wet and damaged. Take your wax and cover any spots that you missed, or even places where the wax seal looks thin. Use your fingers to test the wax. Especially for lighter wax that bonds clear to your paper, you'll be able to easily feel missed spots, which instead of smooth and waxy will have a bumpy texture, or the texture of paper. This is the best way to get the closest, tightest bond between your wax and document. You'll need to warm your wax, gently smoothing it as you do, with a heat source, like a hair dryer. Be sure you do this to both sides of your paper. Use moderation when heating; you don't want the wax to drip off completely, you only want to soften it so that it works further into the fibers of your paper. If you use a different heat source or an open flame heater, like a creme brulee torch, use extreme caution. The last thing you want to do is start a fire and lose your document forever. Although the wax will keep your paper safe from the elements, over time your wax seal can wear away. Heat can melt your wax seal, so you should keep this document out of the sun and away from heat. But, outside of heat and light, your wax seal will protect your document for as long as your seal is maintained. Resealing your document is as easy as rubbing another application of wax on top of whatever wax remains on your document. Wax sealed documents that undergo regular handling and wear will be more likely to rub off wax. These should be checked every few weeks for a thin or worn away seal. Wax sealed documents that are kept from light and heat and handled with care can maintain a seal of a year or longer.
