How To Make "Clear" Natural Gels | Thickeners for Hair & Skin Care Products | UnivHair Soleil

[@SheReaDelSol]

Adding glycerin to the gums and THEN adding to water removes the possibility of clumping btw

[@UnivHairSoleil3]

Thank you ! Yes, it's better to make a slurry first with glycerin or sorbitol but I didn't want to add an other parameter in that specific case. They actually influence the texture of the gels.

[@SheReaDelSol]

UnivHair Soleil That makes sense. Will we get a video with them applied?

[@UnivHairSoleil3]

@SheRea DelSol Yes you will !

[@glowupguide6890]

The xanthan gel looks so easy to make 👏🏽👏🏽

[@richellebuchanan396]

Which one has the strongest hold ?

[@shenicedells1712]

Great video! Just a suggestion but when adding gums to your water directly it can cause a lot of clumping. So to combat that you should hydrate the gums with Vegetable Glycerine first to form a syrupy mixture , then add it to the water to have even dispersion.

[@UnivHairSoleil3]

Thank you, this is a great suggestion! I thought about it but glycerin can influence the texture of the gels so I decided to not add any.

[@Proverbs31Planner]

Vegetable glycerin sounds good, as most store products have pork glycerin which I can’t use.

[@shenicedells1712]

@@Proverbs31Planner I'm guessing that you're maybe vegan, if so you can use an immersion blender or any high shear blender to hydrate the gum without clumping. Hope this helps

[@Proverbs31Planner]

I used the guar gum. And it worked in five minutes

[@ladonnayoung676]

Are any of these gels shelf stable or do you have to refrigerate them all? How long do these gels last for?

[@BellaHairCare4u]

It’s different for each formulation, but you can expect spoilage around the same time. Rancidity normally occurs within 3 months but can be much sooner, especially without a preservative. Signs of spoilage include change in odor, color, appearance, even pH, and/or obvious mold.

I have recently started back using gel only because it lays better now than mousse for my wavy/curly hair. I like the thicker gels 😊

Why did you add Sea salt to the Carraghenmoos Gel? And are they any substitutes to Sea salt?

[@NaturalNefertiti]

Je viens de comprendre le pourquoi du comment je n’arrivais pas à faire épaissir mon gel de carragenaan ! 😮😮😮 Est-ce que le sel est « safe » pour le cheveux ? est-ce que 0.5% de sel serait suffisant par exemple ? Aussi, j’ai expérimenter des résidus avec le gel de carragenaan . Est-ce qu’en rajoutant le sel ou encore de la glycine pourrait permettre de diminuer les résidus ? Merci beaucoup par avance 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Can you say which gel has high holding power? For hairstyle like finger waves or locs.

Looks like it could be the agar agar, judging by it's stiffness, however, it may need to be mixed with an oil to soften a little.

I think she said One percent . So for 100ml, 1ml of the thickening agent

[@highnogga]

@@harmonyL Thank goodness you knew the math!

[@shaibann5315]

Hey can we mix all of this and make hair oil?

[@blueandbanana]

How do you add preservatives to it?

[@krenee984]

Follow the directions of whatever preservative you buy. For example, I use phenonip preservative. The usage directions for phenonip state that it can be used at 0.25 - 1% of final volume. When the mixture is within the designated temperature range for phenonip, add the preservative and mix thoroughly. I usually use 1% when I use phenonip. So for 100 g final weight, I use 99 g of other ingredients and 1 g of phenonip. There are online calculators that can do this for you if math isn’t your thing.

[@elodyphanor1177]

Hello, love your video! Have you already try "toloman" from the caraibeen,🤔 I don't know if it's a good idea😅, I never did myself

[@danadinakolevska405]

Great video, thanks! I would appreciate a lot your opinion and help about this matter: I've made a Comfrey root alcohol liquid Extract (Symphytum officinale) for external use. However, it's use is not as comfortable as a Comfrey GEL (which is for sale in pharmacy). So I was thinking to use the comfrey alcohol extract as a liquid base, and add some thickening agent. What would you suggest to use for this purpose? Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

[@shusha50]

Hello from Canada. Your video was very good. Good job and showing the end results as you worked your way through all the gels. I like agar agar for my S.E.Asian puddings. Like Xanthum gum for my salves and cream to make them less oily. I also add arrowroot powder, just a small bit to ensure smoothening of the end product. Aloe vera is great for shower section as also for facials. thanks again for your beautiful video.

[@larobefoodtastedrink7271]

Can all of them mix together??

[@CurlyCrowie]

I mixed xanthan and aloe vera but it decreases the shelf life I think. I want to try making a tea from dried aloe vera or aloe powder and then straining and adding the xanthan.

[@Observer444]

So the more you add the thicker it gets?

[@fky5045]

Türkce için teşekkürler

[@makedanurse1852]

[@frewenitesfai300]

WHERE DO U GET THE ALOE VERA FROM

[@CurlyCrowie]

I make my own hair gel with xanthan gum and glycerine.. Sometimes I add aloe vera. But I think a better idea is to add aloe and/ or hibiscus powder to boiled water and let it steep. Then use that to make the xanthan hair gel. That should give it longer shelf life.I made a big batchaand so far its still fine after more than a month at room temperature. I will never again buy hair gel. It works for several dayß after application. I just dampen my hair with a spritz of water. It reactivates the gel and I just fix up the flat sections of my hair. I also want to try using some herbal teas as a base for the xanthan gel.

[@UnivHairSoleil3]

Nice ! That’s a great idea actually !

[@rhondakay5869]

How do you know it’s one percent

[@ludyNK_Kems]

A powder normally doesn't have a percentage. But depending on how much solution you want, u need a specific amount of the powder. So for 100 ml, u would need 1 mg to have a 1% mixture. Hope that helps

[@msclark5691]

Have you experienced any flaking after using these thickener based gels?

[@suranjanatiwari753]

Yes , I use xantham gum based Aloe Vera gel , and it creates flaky ness to my skin.

[@asanjawilson6290]

When I blend the aloe vera am getting juice instead of gel 😔

[@krenee984]

You can use xanthan or guar gum to thicken them. I do this for putting aloe Vera on my face/hair bc I HATE the dripping.

how can i preserve it?

[@CurlyCrowie]

I made a batch of xanthan gum hair gel and its lasted more than a month so far. Xanthan gum gel lasts very long at room temperature. Its when you add fresh stuff to it that you should be careful imo. I made a bit with aloe vera mixed in and I dunno if I imagined it but I detected a slightly funny smell. Not sure if it smelt like that from the start cos my sense of smell isn't good at all. I should have asked someone for a 2nd opinion.

[@AndrewWalsh43]

Be careful with Aloe Vera Gel, it has a very low PH and can cause skin irritation, needs to be pH balanced with other chemicals.

[@Slowmetamorphis]

Really? I didn't know that. It always used to make me itchy

[@janettaabioduturay2151]

Where can we get the Xanthan gam gel.

You can buy xanthan gum at health food stores, asian grocery stores or online. I put amazon links in the description box.
