Instructions
- Combine Oil Phase and Water Phase Separately
- Heat both parts separately to 70d.
- Add the Oil Phase to the Water Phase and will well by hand or with hand mixer.
- Add Part the oil phase to the water phase mixing. Mix well.
- Decant into clean container and cap when completely cool (steralise using the hot water method or spray the pots with alcohol thoroughly.
Note: Add Potassium Sorbate to water first and dissolve before adding the other ingredients.
Variations: My hair is strawberry blonde, fine and fairly thick-shoulder length. This formula works great for me and doesn’t weigh my hair down or leave it feeling greasy.
If you have thicker longer hair that tends to tangle you can add more Colzamulse (say up to 2% more) and a bit more oil. I would not exceed 10% oil maximum. Concentrate the conditioner on the ends rather than the roots.
If you have extremely dry hair your can treat it by adding up to 3% lanolin. Concentrate the conditioner on the dry ends.
