"Tame Me" DIY "Moisturizer" For Frizzy Hair ~ The Recipe

29/5/2014

 
This recipe is for a daily use moisturizer  a.k.a. leave-in conditioner. It will not only help to moisturize and nourish dry hair, it also helps to tame frizzy hair with the addition of argan oil and the use of higher weight proteins that strengthen hair from the outside.

Heated oil phase (7%)
  • 2g BTMS-50 (2%)
  • 1g Incroquat CR (1%)
  • 4g argan oil (4%)

Heated water phase (84%)
  • 62g water (62%)
  • 10g aloe vera (10%)
  • 2g hydrolyzed oat protein (2%)
  • 10g rose hydrosol (10%)

Cool-down phase (8%)
  • 2g cyclomethicone (2%)
  • 2g dimethicone (2%)
  • 2g panthenol (2%)
  • 1g optiphen preservative (1%)
  • 1g essential oil blend (1%)
          - 0.5g ylang ylang (11 drops) (0.5%)
          - 0.3g rosemary or sandalwood (7 drops) (0.3%)
          - 0.2g lavender or rose (4 drops) (0.2%)

Method

You will need two pyrex bowls because you will be creating two bain maries (a.k.a. double boilers)
  1. Weigh out the heated oil phase ingredients into a pyrex dish.
  2. Weigh out the heated water phase ingredients into another pyrex dish.
  3. Create a bain marie for each and heat to 70°C or at least until the water in the pot starts to boil then reduce the heat. 
  • Leave the oil phase heating at 70°C for 20 minutes. 
  • Put the water phase on 8 minutes later and leave it for 12 minutes. 
  • You can have the heated water phase on for the full 20 minutes but for a 100g batch I find that you get a lot of lost product due to evaporation so I prefer to put it on a little later.
  1. Remove both from the heat and pour the heated water phase into the heated oil phase immediately. Stir simultaneously.
  2. Continue to stir gently until the mixture has cooled down and thickened.
  3. 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.
  4. Allow the formulation to cool completely then bottle it up.

Application

  • You can moisturize hair that has just been washed and conditioned or hair that has notjust been washed. 
  • If your hair is very dry, a spritz with water before applying the moisturizer will help with product take-up. 
  • To make you your own shampoo see nenonatural.com/DIYshampoos, to make your own conditioner see nenonatural.com/DIYconditioners.

Storage: The shelf life is 9 months. Store in a cool, dry place.
