Il hydrate bien les pointes et cela sans effet gras. Se rince très bien grâce au tensio actif qu’il contient. Ici aussi j’ai insister pour que la recette reste simple, nul besoin de multiplier les ingrédients pour avoir un produit efficace. Il laisse une douce odeur dans les cheveux… very cool !

6.6 g of purple macerate in macadamia oil or calendula macerate
1.5 g stearic acid (consistency)

Melt your butter in a bain marie, oil, Vitamin E and your two waxes. When the mixture is completely melted remove and add your clay whisking well. When the mixture is slightly cooled, (but not fixed on the edges) add your drops of silk proteins, your essential oils and fragrance your (if desired). Pour your mixture in a tube applicator quickly adapted. You will find very well in Macosmetoperso.

*If you plan to replace the solar exposures of petitgrain essential oil is photosensitizing (some are the variety… response to the comment of the Blue petitgrain bigarade would not… so do not deprive yourself ^ ^)… by one who is not like lavender or cistus.

**If you have a high sweat can add a little baking soda… but I think in the long run it becomes a little irritating if it is too large quantity. The alum powder is also.

Here is a small label to decorate your pretty tube !
