Fun with Hair Conditioner

Today’s project is: messing around with hair conditioner.

We sell hair conditioner that is in flake form and you mix it with hot water and it turns in to a wonderful hair conditioner. People keep asking me if you can add oil to it.  I am guessing that you can but the issue is, will the oil separate right back out?  Today I made some to find out.

The recipe I used is this:

1/2 ounces (weighed) of Soap Crafters Conditioner Flakes
10 ounces of water
5 ounces of Soap Crafters Aloe Liquid
1-1/2 teaspoons Soap Crafters Fragrance Oil
2 teaspoons Sweet Almond Oil

Put Sweet Almond Oil and conditioner flakes in to 160F degree water. Mix with a stick blender until smooth. Add the Aloe Liquid once the conditioner mixture is below 130 degrees. Add scent and color (if desired) to the conditioner. Mix well.

The end product is smooth and looks like it worked just fine.  I’ll let it sit around for the weekend and see if it stays emulsified.  So far so good!  I’ll report back.

UPDATE:  It held together great!  And it is REALLY nice on the hair. :)  Success!
