Basic Hair
Conditioner
Before
beginning, it is important to make sure that your work area
and utensils have been properly cleaned and sanitized. Bleach
water can be used to wipe down your work surfaces, and utensils
and bottles may be scalded in boiling water. Another option
is to use a sanitizer appropriate for food contact surfaces,
such as Steramine. It can be purchased at restaurant supply
stores, or food service outlets.
Water Phase
Heat
water to between 140 and 158 degrees F, dissolve Phenonip
in water using stick blender. Add citric acid, and glycerin.
Oil Phase
Combine these ingredients
and heat until completely melted together. Add the oil phase
to the water phase (it's a good idea to have both cooled to
around 130 degrees), and then blend together with your stick
blender. Let it cool a little more, and blend again. Pour into
your bottles. It will still be liquid, but will stiffen up as
it cools. If you let it cool too long, it will start to thicken
up, and be difficult to pour into bottles.
**Note - If the conditioner is too thick for your taste,
try reducing the amount of Behentrimonium Methosulfate by
.2 oz at a time, replacing it with .2 oz of water. Reducing the
Behentrimonium Methosulfate will also result in a lighter
conditioner.
