WOW. Professor Rainwater really did know a lot about hair. Naya just sat back and soaked up all the knowledge. Even better though, they got to make their own hair products in class. This was exciting and Naya couldn’t wait to get started. Imagine making your own products. That could be a big money saver and you were tailoring the product to your own specific needs. It could also be a side gig for the business minded student. Just saying.

Anxious to get started, Naya knew right away what she would be making. A deep conditioner. She could certainly put that to good use. She took a moment to think about what ingredients would be the best for her hair. Aloe of course, and a couple of other things that immediately came to mind. While she continued to think about it, the fifth year reached down to retrieve two tubs from under her workstation.

Naya wrote her name on the tubs and labeled it Deep Conditioner. Then, she put the tubs to the side, donned her gloves and went to get her aloe leaves. Taking them from the dehydrator, she returned to her work station and took out her wand. She made a clockwise circle above the leaves, followed by a vertical line through the middle. “Pulveris”, Naya said, as she watched the leaves become finer and finer. She repeated the spell until the leaves looked properly powder-ized. Now it was time to start gathering her other ingredients. Naya had a pretty good idea of what she wanted, but she looked over the professor’s list of stock items before heading to the adjacent room.
