I am VERY happy with the results of the handmade conditioner I made at Plush Folly on Monday. I did a twist out on freshly co-washed hair yesterday and although the results weren’t as smooth as the Lustrasilk, this is fine with me because I seem to fluff until I get a little frizz anyways. It was softer. It also held up against some MAJOR hand in hair-itis. I couldn’t stop touching it! I also felt my hair had more shine. Over all a 10. So here’s the recipe

Oils Phase

25g Light Fast absorbing oil (like Rice Bran oil)
2g Vitamin E Oil
2g Orchid Extract
10g BTMS Wax

Water Phase

80g Spring Water
0.2g Silk Powder
4.g Panthenol

Final Phase

1g Microkill
30 drops essential Oil (I used Patchouli)

To make it: Mix the oil ingredients separately from the water and silk. Then adding the two over heat and mix until the wax is melted. Now when I say mixing , I mean MIXING- for about 35- 40 minutes. Then add Panthenol, Microkill, and then an Essential oil for scent. The recipe can be played with it works as sort o a base, and if you are going to use it right away (like within a week) you can skip the Microkill.

Some of the other women didn’t have to stir for a long as me. But I swear- even Sally, the owner of Plush Folly was mixing for me. Yes my arm got sore. yes it was more difficult then a trip to the store. Yes it was totally worth it. It was a great hair day. Here’s the Pics

You can get all the stuff from Plush Folly. Or take a class and make it there- save on the clean up.
