For years I have made my own bath and body products with natural ingredients purchased off the net. At a particular vendor that I buy from I noticed that they sold Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. With further inquiry I found an online vendor that sold all of the natural nutrient rich ingredients available in all of your favorite conditioners.
Here are a few sites.
www.theherbarie.com (has all of the hair products listed in the recipe
www.essentialwholesale.com
www.snowdriftfarms.com (sells the every popular silicone based glosses)
www.chemistrystore.com
The conditioners that you currently buy only have about 2% or less of any nutritive ingredient like panthenol, silk, hydrolyzed wheat protein etc... Most of the time it contains the smallest amount just to list on the label for advertising purposes.
And here's a modification of a recipe I got from one of the sites. It contains about 10% of each nutrient.
Water 10.00 oz.
Panthenol 1.5 oz.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein 1 oz.
Hydrolyzed Silk Protein 1.75 oz.
Guar Silk 2 Teaspoons
Ultra Maize 1 oz.
Oil(Castor,Coconut your choice) 1 oz.
This formula is very simple to make and does not require heat. A handheld mixer (the type for mixing cake batter) will work well. I’ve listed the ingredients in the order that they should be added. Add GuarSilk to distilled water (room temp), mix well and allow to hydrate for 15 minutes. Add UltraMaize, mix well and allow to hydrate for 5 minutes. Add Oils, mix well. Add remainder of ingredients and mix well. The consistency is a moderately thick emulsion and will package nicely for use with a pump or in a disc top container. I recommend using the Revitalizing Elixer just after shampooing hair, when hair is still wet. Massage into the scalp and leave on hair for at least 5 minutes, then rinse (I also use it as a leave in). This formula provides just the right amount of conditioning and moisture. For more emollient conditioning, increased ease of wet-comb, and added shine try increasing the oil. For extra dry or damaged hair, try increasing the GuarSilk.
I hope you enjoy!
