Does anyone have any clue what ingredient gives hair conditioner that "slip" feeling when you put it on your hair in the shower??

A HUGE THANK YOU if ya can help me out!
 
Probably some chemical. Have you tried one of the recipes on the forum? I find that you really have to shampoo the heck out of it and use a very small amount on the ends only to not get a greasy mess. When I do get it right (about 80% of the time) its perfect.
 
I found a really great recipe. It isnt super greasy and it is nice and creamy...but it seems like my hair soaks it up...you are right, it is probably some chemical :x

hey but your hair soakling it up could bea good thing....meaning its using all the available moisture and nutrients :)
 
Thought I would update this... The "slip" comes mostly from Silicone Oils,
Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone and Botanisil.

However Silicone Oils, lift and strip hair of color. Which is not any good for me... I have bright red hair...like BRIGHT red...

Anywho, I found a great way to replace the silicons using Soy Quat!
Just in case anyone was having the same problem. :D
 
Hey Lane..............what is soy quat and where would one aquire such exotic sounding stuff??? :p

Enquiring minds wanna know.................. 8) (I so never know whether I should use an I or an E, grammer and spelling were ALWAYS my worst subjects!!!!!!!!!!) :roll:

thanx oodles,

Della :D
 
Are you looking for Behetrimoniun Methosulfate? I am pretty sure that I have spelled this wrong. Lol! Maybe this is your ingredient. Good Luck!
 
LOL...I like that Tasha. :lol: :lol:

But meaning to sell. I would like to have a nice set of hampoo and conditioners for gift baskets.
