Conditoner HELP!

Lane · May 30, 2008

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

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.
