Making anything from scratch is a lot of fun. It can be soaps, shampoos, creams, but also nail polishes or perfumes. Thanks to the basics, worries about sometimes complex calculations, measurements and uncertain mixing of chemical components will disappear. But the most fun part remains - adding scents, creating colors, fine-tuning abilities and improving product properties. And today we're going to play with hair conditioner just like that!
Jojoba oil is an incredibly rich source of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Coconut oil helps to restore the hair's natural balance of moisture and oiliness. Rich in proteins, fatty acids, vitamins B and C, zinc, potassium, iron, coconut oil is one of the best ways to get rid of dry hair forever. Coconut contains medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) that are quickly absorbed into the hair follicles and scalp.
The base mixture of the moisturizing and renewing conditioner is patented - it can penetrate deep into the skin and hair, revitalizing the cuticles and leaving the mane smooth, shiny and refreshed.
At the same time, the foundation is created to work well with it - it is just dense, completely emulsified and ready for use right away, as well as for further adjustments.
And let's get down to editing!
Maca root extract becomes the star of the conditioner. Maca is a sacred plant of the Incas, famous for its revitalizing and strengthening effects. Because it stimulates the hair roots, it is mainly used in products against hair loss, which at the same time strengthens and gives it shine.
To make the hair even smoother, finer, softer, and therefore more nourished and satisfied after using the conditioner, we add Hydromilk, i.e. hydrolyzed milk protein, which moisturizes the hair and at the same time creates a protective barrier on it. If you want a vegan conditioner, i.e. without animal products, you can reach for another hydrolyzed protein - for example, rice protein. Vege-keratin or vegetable collagen will also be great in the product.
The color of the conditioner will be cream, but if you want it to be any other color, simply mix in some mica powder. We chose blueberry blue because blueberry is also the scent of our eco-friendly conditioner. You can also create a fragrance according to your imagination and choose a cosmetic fragrance or a purely natural essential oil according to your preferences.
What does it take?
- 200 grams of conditioner base
