Method

1. You will need one pyrex bowl to create a bain marie (a.k.a. double boiler)
2. Weigh out the heated water phase ingredients into a pyrex dish.
3. Create a bain marie. Leave on the heat for 5 minutes after all the ingredients have dissolved. If all the ingredients are liquid, leave on the heat 5 minutes after all the ingredients have heated up.
4. Stir regularly and thoroughly.
5. Take off the heat.
6. Continue to stir gently until the mixture has cooled down and thickened.
7. Allow to cool to just more than hand hot (45°C if you want to be specific) then add the cool-down phase ingredients. To be honest 45°C is a bit more than hand but I am so scared of inactivating the cool-down phase ingredients that I would rather not risk it.
8. Allow the formulation to cool completely then bottle it up.
   

Application

• As a leave-in detangler apply to dry hair before styling. If you feel you need a bit more moisture, add a leave-in conditioner (a.k.a. moisturizer).
