What Is The Best Way To Shampoo Hair To Avoid Tangling / Tangles

30/3/2014

 
PictureCredit: blackandkillingit.com
Lucky are those, like my husband, that can just go into the shower and wash their hair in any way without any consideration for tangling. For the rest of us, we need a technique; more especially when hair grows beyond shoulder length. This is my shampoo methodology:

  1. Wash your hair with just water for 2 to 5 minutes taking time to massage the scalp. Normally I have just detangled my hair so I rinse out the detangler or hot oil. 
  2. Apply the shampoo and work it through your hair section by section without too much scrunching - squeeze your hair and massage your roots to dislodge stubborn dirt and oils.
  3. When you feel you have loosened all the dirt rinse your hair then apply conditioner section by section.
You do not ever need to keep shampoo sitting in your hair; once you feel that your hair is clean, rinse it out. If you have thick course hair and use a lot of heavy products then a double shampoo may be necessary for you, otherwise I recommend you perform only one shampoo per wash session.

Picture
Techniques for reducing tangles:

1. Wash your hair in twists.

If your hair is longer than shoulder length it should already be in twists to prevent re-tangling.

This keeps the hair strands together and stops errant strands from getting tangled around their neighbours. This technique is optimal if you're washing your hair bent over a bath tub as the action of bending forwards and then standing back up increases the rate of tangling. It's also best for medium to long hair.

2. Keep your hair flowing in a downward direction.

This technique is easier if you have a shower whose head you don't have to hold up! Wash your hair with your hair held upright to stop the strands from moving about and getting tangled. This is such simple advice but it actually works! If your hair is in twists then this is not that important.

How To Thicken A DIY Shampoo & Adjust It For pH

30/3/2014

 
PictureClick For Queen Naa's Journey
If your shampoo is too thin there are two ways you can thicken it. 
  • Firstly, use a gum such as xanthan gum, it is completely natural. I cover how in this blog: 
    What Is Xanthan Gum? How Do I Thicken A DIY Shampoo With It?
  • Secondly, use a liquid thickener such as crothix. I could not find it in the UK so I imported it from the US. I found it at a place called the herbarie. I demonstrate me using it in the video below.


I used to use xanthan gum but it can be hard to work with so I upgraded to crothix.

pH

Your shampoo should have a pH between 5.5 and 6.0. To achieve this use citric acid. Add 0.5% (0.5g for a 100g recipe) at a time until you reach your desired pH. Citric acid is very widely available because it's used commercially to adjust the pH of food and cosmetics.

How Do You Know Whether An Ingredient Should Be Added to the Heated Phase or Cool Down Phase Of Product Formulation

29/3/2014

 
PictureClick for Queen Melissa's Natural Journey
This is one of the problems that I found when I first started making DIY Hair Recipes. I got a lot insight from the seasoned mixtress Swift Craft Monkey and The Naked Chemist.

Basically:
  • If the ingredient is oil-based or solid and NOT heat-sensitive add it to one of the heated phase
  • If the ingredient is heat-sensitive or is a water-based liquid add it to the cool down / water phase

Here is a brief "cheat sheet":

Picture
HEATED WATER PHASE
  • Allantoin
  • Aloe Vera
  • Beeswax (obviously!)
  • Cocoa butter
  • Emulsifier
  • Glycerin
  • Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI)

HEATED OIL PHASE
  • Butters
  • Oils
  • Thickeners
  • Waxes

Picture
COOL DOWN / WATER PHASE
  • Cyclomethicone (oil soluble but heat sensitive)
  • Dimethicone (oil soluble but heat sensitive)
  • Extracts
  • Honeyquat
  • Hydrosols / Infusions
  • Panthenol
  • Polyquat (less heat-sensitive than honeyquat)
  • Preservatives
  • Proteins
  • Water

I will update the lists above as I introduce new ingredients.

If you add an ingredient to the heated phase that should be added in a cool down phase it may:
  • Become inactive (most likely)
  • Become smelly (apparently that happens with honeyquat)
  • Spoil the emulsion so the formulation separates
  • Feel different on the your hair (and skin)

What Are Infused Oils? Why Choose Them For Your Natural Hair?

29/3/2014

 
Picture
Infusion involves extracting the compounds in something (e.g. herbs or a vegetable such as carrots) into something else such as oil, water or alcohol. Oil in this particular case.

An infused oil has both the benefits of the regular base oil and the herb or plant that has been infused into it. Basically, you get two for the price of one.

If you would be using the oil for cooking then transferring the flavour or scent of the herb may be your primary purpose. For hair or body care products the vitamins, minerals and other components like colour are more important.

You can buy an infused oil or you can make one yourself.

How To Make An Infused Oil

Picture
To make an infused oil yourself you would simply: 
  • Place dry or fresh herbs into a jar, 
  • Add your chosen carrier oil to fill the jar 
  • Then place the jar in a slow cooker (a.k.a. a "crock pot") for two hours before straining it using unbleached muslin or a simple wire strainer.

Personally, I prefer to buy my infusions especially carrot tissue oil. Carrots are macerated (i.e. mashed up) and infused into sunflower oil. The resulting oil is bright orange and gives whipped butters an excellent natural looking yellow colour.

"Adore Me" DIY Shampoo For Thin Hair ~  The Recipe

26/3/2014

 
This recipe is for a moisturizing and conditioning shampoo that will be great for dry, thin hair. The shampoo doesn't contain oil so as not weigh strands down but includes geranium essential oil to give hair strands strength. 

If you have greasy hair or some product build-up this is a good option because it does not contain any oil. It is more moisturizing than the soothe me shampoo though.
PictureCredit: @lhdc2011 (on instagram)
Heated phase (40%)
  • 20% surfactants, 20g
10% cocamidopropyl betaine, 10g
10% decyl glucoside, 10g
  • 3% PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, 3g
  • 5% glycerin
  • 10% aloe vera
  • 2% hydrolyzed silk protein, 2g

  • Distilled Water to get it to 100%, 50.5g

Cool-down phase (9.5%)
  • 2% Dimethicone, 2g
  • 3% polyquat-7, 3g
  • 2% panthenol, 2g
  • 0.5% citric acid, 0.5g
  • 0% herbs and extracts
  • 1% fragrance or geranium essential oil, 1g
  • 1% optiphen preservative, 1g

Options once completely cool:
  • Citric acid (for pH 5.5-6.0)
  • Thickener: 1-2% crothix (to use xanthan gum remove honeyquat from recipe & add more water)

Method (using a liquid thickener, e.g. crothix)

Note: you cannot use xanthan gum in this recipe. For an alternative recipe that allows for xanthan gum please get the Shampoo Course book or Ingredients List.
  1. Put all the heated phase ingredients into a bain marie (you can heat the water in a microwave and add it already hot to accelerate the process)
  2. As everything dissolves stir to mix.
  3. Heat ingredients up then leave on the heat for about 20 minutes. 
  4. Remove the heated-phase ingredients from the heat and allow to cool.
  5. When the mixture cools down to slightly more than hand-hot (i.e. very warm to touch) add all the cool-down phase ingredients.
  6. Let the mixture cool down completely then check the pH and the consistency. 
  7. If the mixture is too thin thicken it with your liquid thickener, 0.5g (0.5%) at a time. 
  8. If the pH is higher than 5.5, reduce to 5.5 using citric acid, 0.5g (0.5%)at a time.

Application
  • Weekly use on dry hair is enough. It’s best to shampoo dry hair after either using a hot oil treatment or a pre-shampoo detangler
  • Shampoo as normal. If you have tangle-prone kinky-curly medium-to-long hair (like I do) wash it in twists to minimize tangling.

How Are Carrier Oils Extracted From Plants? (Solvent, cold, Expeller, Extraction)

26/3/2014

 
Picture
Plant oils are extracted from vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds of plants in various ways.

1. Cold Pressing (Mechanical)

Cold pressed oils have the highest nutritional value, and if you are eating them also the best flavour and aroma.

Cold pressing involves grinding the vegetable, fruit, seed or nut using heavy granite millstone or stainless steel presses in such a way that the friction doesn't produce a lot of heat. By keeping temperatures below 49°C (120°F) the goodness of the oil is preserved. The lower you keep the temperature the better the oil you get.

Some oils such as grapeseed oil are never produced by cold pressing because you simply don't get much oil out of them with the method.

2. Expeller Method (Mechanical)

Under the expeller method oils are extracted using high pressure. Heat may also be used. If it is, temperatures as high as 85°C (185°F) are applied.

3. Solvent Extraction (Chemical)

Solvents can be used to extract carrier oils in the same way as they are used to extract essential oils.

With the solvent extraction method plant material is soaked in a solvent e.g. petroleum ether, methanol, ethanol or hexane. The cell membranes of the plant material are ruptured and the oil absorbed into the chemical. 

The solvent is then separated and the oil bottled. However, some chemical residues are left from the solvent so the resulting oil is not 100% pure. 
Picture
The amount of solvent left could range from 6-20% with some solvents. With hexane, however, the residue left is said to be 10ppm which is a very low concentration; it's equivalent to 0.001%.

Personally, if I could prove that the solvent used was hexane and the price was much lower than with other oils then I would be happy to take my chances on this one because I spend a small fortune on ingredients for my DIY Hair Care Recipes.

Are Cold Pressed Oils Better For Hair?

24/3/2014

 
Picture
Yes, cold pressed oils are better because they retain more of the “goodness” of the oil (vitamins, minerals and other components).

That said, if there is a significant premium you might prefer to buy oils that have been extracted using other methods. 

You might find that you get all the same benefits anyway. Whilst oils extracted under conditions with more heat might have lost some of the nutritional value during the extraction process they may be refortified with vitamins and minerals during the refinement process.

If you have access to the manufacturer just ask. 

Lots of sellers also have a lot of information on the oils they sell even when those oils have been purchased from a third party. The more times the oil has changed hands the less likely it is that the seller will have accurate information.

What Are Preservatives? Are They Bad For Natural Hair? Are They Necessary?

22/3/2014

 
Picture
Preservatives help cosmetic products last longer by protecting formulations from yeast, fungi (antifungal), mold/microbes (antimicrobial), bacteria (antibacterial) and rancidity or oxidation (antioxidant). 

Any cosmetic product that contains water (the source of moisture) needs a preservative to extend its shelf life. Without a preservative the product would go off within about two weeks; a week or two longer if it’s in the fridge. 

If you want to produce products for commercial use you have to use preservatives to one degree or another because there can be quite a long lag between your product being produced, landing on a store shelf and eventually reaching someone’s bathroom. Even once the product gets to the end user it may take a few weeks or months before they use it. For instance I buy some of my favorite products in bulk and it can be many months before I get round to the final bottle.

Picture
How long should preservatives enable a hair product to last?

Ideally two to three years.

Importantly, note that whilst most products may have a 2 to 3 year shelf life from the time of manufacture, once opened this lifespan can be as short as 30 days and at most 12 months. It’s generally advisable to throw away any beauty products that have been open for a year.

How much preservative should you use?

It depends. Rinse-out products such as shampoo require a different concentration of preservatives than leave-in products. The longer you want the product to last the more preservative you will need to use. 

The preservative manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) will provide the acceptable usage rates. That is, the quantity of preservative that you should use. Importantly, keep in mind that different preservatives have different usage rates.

Use enough preservatives to prevent the growth of microbes but not so much that they cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, product instability and other negative side effects.

Picture
How should you choose your preservative?

Do some research to ensure that your particular preservative won’t cause too many allergic reactions (not that everything is prone to creating allergic reaction so you can't avoid this), that it works well with all your other ingredients and that it operates efficiently within the pH range that it needs to operate. The perfect preservative should not cause a change in the color or smell of your product. In addition read up on any regulations covering it, e.g. in Europe some preservatives are banned or their usage is heavily regulated. 

I have opted for optiphen and a preservative that is a mix of Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin.

Picture
Is It Okay To Have Hair Products Without Preservatives?

Only in certain products, e.g. water-free hair butters and oils is that possible. For all other hair products that need to contain water such as shampoos, conditioners, detanglers and moisturizers you cannot avoid using preservatives if you want the product to last more than a couple of weeks. Preservative-free products rot quickly and require constant replacement.

Any product that claims to be “Preservative Free” is either harmful or outright mislabeled; they simply mean they are using more natural preservatives. Even then, natural alternatives offer limited protection against bacteria and as such need to be combined with other preservatives for full preservation of the product.

There is no evidence at all that preservatives are harmful and if you use them in the right quantities they will help your products last much longer without causing any negative side effects.

Whether you use preservatives to prolong the life of your product or not, always store your bottles in a cool dry place.

What Is Xanthan Gum? How Do I Thicken A DIY Shampoo With It?

21/3/2014

 
Picture
Gels are very natural and were therefore a very attractive option for thickening my shampoos when I started out. 

Natural though they may be, don't just jump into using a gel before you understand how that particular gum/gel works and what ingredients it might not work well with.

I have been using xanthan gel from the start. In fact, my very first DIY recipe was a shampoo using xanthan gel. 

These are the most important things you should know about xanthan gel:
  • It is not compatible with cationic ingredients, e.g. BTMS, honeyquat, the polyquats so don’t use it in any formulations that contain these. Basically, don’t use it in conditioners as the point of conditioner is to have cationic ingredients that will stick to your hair.
  • If you are making one of my DIY shampoos, if I use honeyquat or polyquat remove those ingredients if you will be thickening with xanthan gum and add more water instead
  • It’s not compatible with the preservative tinosan.
  • It’s compatible with high concentrations of non-ionic surfactants but only with low concentrations of anionic and amphoteric surfactants
  • Xanthan gum doesn’t work well in very alkaline solutions, however, neither does hair so this shouldn’t be a problem for you. That said, if you are using an alkaline surfactant e.g. the mild decyl glucoside, it may well be a good idea to add the citric acid first to get the shampoo pH to 5.5. to 6.0 and then add the xanthan gel.

Interestingly, apparently xanthan gum is the only gum that can be used in products that are registered as "organic" by the USDA. I don't know if that is also the case in the UK and Europe.

Xanthan gum forms lumps very easily, in fact, I used to hate using it for that reason until I found a recipe for diluting xanthan gum that helps reduce/prevent the lumps. This is the recipe, I have adapted it a little to make it better and less lump prone:

Picture
Picture
Picture
Click For Her Profile: Queen Crystal (Vlogger, NaturalMe4C) ~ Queen Of Kinks, Curls & Coils™ (Neno Natural)
Ingredients (for 100g formulation)
  • 5g glycerin (5%)
  • 2g xanthan gum (2%) (use 1g for a thinner gel and 3g for a thicker gel - adjust the water amount if you do)
  • 10g distilled water at room temperature (10%)
  • 83g very warm distilled water heated up in the microwave (83%) - I don't use the kettle because mine has limescale and also because I only make small batches at a time. This tiny volume of water wouldn't fill the kettle up enough to be used)  

Note: the xanthan gum in this recipe can be substituted with other gums, e.g. cellulose gum, if you don’t want to use the xanthan gum. I don't currently use any other gums; I have tara gum but I am yet to use it.

Method
  1. Mix the xanthan gum with the glycerin to form a thick paste.
  2. When the gum and glycerin are smooth add the water that is at room temperature and stir further. Leave the blend to sit for 5 to 15 minutes whilst the gum dissolves further.
  3. Stir the very warm water in. Stir intermittently until smooth. You can now use. If the gel isn’t smooth just give the gum more time to dissolve, 30 minutes should be enough.
  4. If you will be making a large batch to be stored and used at a later date add 1% optiphen preservative and stir some more.
Picture
Application

Use this gel to thicken your shampoo. Instead of adding water to a shampoo mixture in the heated phase add this gel mixture instead. That is, you can use this as your base for formulating a shampoo.

You can also use this as a styling gel. This will hold your hair in place without being overly stick or looking white when it dries up.

Storage: 9 months

If you don’t use the gel after this point make a fresh batch next time you are making a shampoo. I prefer to use fresh ingredients so I would tend to make a fresh batch every time I am making a shampoo.


Tweaking The Recipe:
  • Aloe Vera gel: Use aloe vera juice instead of water in the above recipe for an aloe vera gel.
  • If you have oily hair you can reduce the amount of glycerin to 3% and increase the water to 85%
