How to Make Creamy 2 in 1 Hair Conditioner

[@alkistiskiadopoulou4456]

Hello Marie, my name is Alkisti, I am from Greece, and I have been watching you for a long time, trying to do what you do. So, I tried to make this conditioner, and I did! Some notes: 1. The vinegar smells too much, I couldn't cover up the smell with the 35 drops of essential oils, I put around 40-45. (I know I shouldn't change the analogies). 2. I replaced BTMS with OLIVEM1000 (I can't find BTMS in Greece), and it worked out perfectly. I was afraid it wouldn't be stable (as I have read online), but it is just fine, and not greasy at all. So, thank you so much!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)

[@beckysilky2868]

I've been hanging this recipe because I was out of ACV and i got it and made this. I washed my hair today and used it, my hands has been on my hair since 😍😍😍😍 oh my goodness! it feels so good. This is definitely becoming a staple for me☺☺. Thank you thank you thank you. 💕💕

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yay! I'm so glad you are loving it! 🎉

[@beckysilky2868]

Humblebee & Me 😍😍😍😍

[@breannaobryan1120]

I absolutely love your recipe. The second time i made it i made some changes. I actually used behentrimonium 250 instead of bmts 50. For essential oils i used ylang ylang and bergamont. It smells awesome. People keep asking me what i do to my hair since it looks much healthier and smoother and i told them i used the Beebee recipes. That's what my little one calls you. We love to watch the recipes on the big TV.

[@Irondragon1945]

Hi, how much did you use of these oils respectively?

[@breannaobryan1120]

For the behentrimonium i used the same amount with btms 50. I added 14 drops ylang ylang and 6 of bergamont. I wanted just a little citrus scent

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Aww! I LOVE "the Beebee" 😊 Thank you so much for sharing and for DIYing with me!

[@missmcbeauty4078]

This recipe is very interesting ! Could I use another oil other than shea butter and castor oil ? I was wondering... doesn't vitamin E lose its properties when heated? Shouldn't we rather put it in the cooling phase at the end of the recipe?

[@soverealma]

Thanks Marie, I will try this recipe. I don't have BTMS-50 but I have Olivem 1000 should be okay.

[@sofiagirl01]

I would love a redo on this and also to see the ph test 😁 you might have had a plan on redo videos, but old conditioners definitely should be on this list.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'll keep it in mind!

[@cynnaratregarth2009]

Yes! This is the conditioner I've been searching for! ⭐💖 I have everything to make this. Except I need a bigger bottle. 😅 I keep betting with myself what you'll do next, I'm always surprised, Marie. Now liquid shampoo would be awesome for those whose hands or skills are not quite to CP soap yet. 😘

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Woohoo! I do have a couple liquid shampoo recipes up on the blog, but they are MUCHO more labour intensive than CP soap since liquid soap paste is a pretty time consuming process. Might want to start with CP ;) It's easier than you think, and now there's a video for it!

[@cynnaratregarth2009]

+Humblebee & Me. Ok, so I'm almost convinced. Watched the video, but you might need to show the difference shampoo bars and regular CP soap. 💫 But now I remember why I bought the silk powder. LOL. Feel free to silk powder more. 😊

Fantastic! This is teh first time I've heard of a 2-in-1 conditioner. Will definitely have to try it out. Thanks for this.

[@utymarin]

Marie, i did this 2 in 1 conditioner, and i liked it because i felt my hair very clean, the vinegar did something to my natural curls. My hair had more volume which i like, because i have fine hair and i love having a lot of volume. But there is something i will like to improve. I need a litlle more conditioning. My hair felt a litlle dry. What can i change? Can i put more oils? Or more BTMS 50 ? Or bring dowm the acidity part? Can you help me?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Have you tried just leaving it in longer?

[@utymarin]

Yes, i leave it on for 2 to 3 minutes on my hair before rinsing off. Should i live it longer?

[@aschoettler]

ok so i’m not sure if you’ve addressed this, i can’t seem to find it (but i could be missing something).. the amount of essential oil/fragrance and silk peptide are by drops/tablespoons instead of calculated grams - do those not need to be measured exactly like the other ingredients? why? thank you, you’re lovely and wonderful and have seriously created an obsession for me here 😝

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey! So, there is some more flexibility with those ingredients. For the silk; a bit more or less won't break it, and for the EOs, most people do not own a scale precise enough to weigh them out. I have been doing everything in weights/percentages more recently, but this is an older recipe :)

[@jeannamurray5800]

This is a great video! Is there a reason the quantity is so small? What is the shelf life?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey Jeanna! I've got articles on both of these in my FAQ on the blog: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/recipes-produce-small-amounts-product/ & www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/long-will-______-last-shelf-life/. That should answer your questions!

[@kathryncastanares525]

ok so, i almost gave up on making my own conditioner until i found this video. i honestly dont know how i miss this one. i binge watch/read your videos and blog all the time.lol anyways, i finally know now what emulsifier works best thanks to you. i was using regular ewax at first. i just bought some btms50 too thank goodness.lol i was wondering, what can i do if i dont have those essential oils? i have a very small collection I've started but just not these one you use. i know i can probably use what i have, but would i add the amount of all your put together? or just to my preference of sent? i hope im making sense.lol im just still fairly new to this and after seeing so many different ways of making conditioners, im overwhelmed and confused a bit. just because some recipes use e/o for preference and others are a vital ingredient to the recipe.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey Kat! You can really use whatever EOs you want to-perhaps do some research into ones that are good for your hair (dry/curly/oily/etc.) and go from there. I'd probably aim for approximately the same amount I used, but definitely trust your nose as your guide :) Happy making!

[@peuniececollections9949]

Can I just put everything except the preservative in one pot and heat then together? Will that work?

[@heidicroucher]

Hello! I've learned a lot since sharing this video-you can use BTMS-25, but the end product will be thicker and less conditioning. Happy making!

For a conditioner we need a conditioning (cationic) emulsifying wax-the one you mentioned is not cationic. I really recommend getting some BTMS-50, it's magical stuff!

[@annadawson5325]

A lot of these recipes I find are for long hair. I have very short hair. I would like to try a recipe but have limited ingredients on hand. I have: cocoa butter, regular unsalted butter, sweet almond oil, vegetable glycerin, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and extra virgin coconut oil, vanilla extract. I am looking to make a body butter and something to take away the wavyness of my hair and make it straighter. ( It looks really unkept otherwise and drives me insane. It's a short trip... .lol😁)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

For the purposes of DIY, you have cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, glycerin, olive oil, honey, and coconut oil-vanilla extract and butter are for cookies, not skin care :) You've got the makings of a body butter (www.humblebeeandme.com/coco-cocoawhipped-body-butter/), but if you want a hair conditioner you'll need some ingredients like BTMS-50 and a preservative. I'm not sure how straightening will go, though-that sounds like a chemical hair relaxant to me, though I'm no expert in that area.

[@busolavincent9608]

Hi, will Behentrimonium chloride work?, We only have BTMS-25 and Behentrimonium chloride commonly in South Africa market. Secondly, please what is your take between these two emulsifier I mentioned as emulsifying agent in conditioner and also in moisturizing lotion/cream

I've been playing with making my own natural cosmetics but the whole preservatives thing is confusing and overwhelming. oh, and did i say how much i love your videos?

Thanks! Your questions would be best answered by reading through my series of articles on them (www.humblebeeandme.com/?s=preservative)-that will be much more thorough than any KZbin comment could be!

[@thazinha30]

Thanks for your response! Prior to posting my question i did loads of reading, like up until 3 am reading and researching until my brain was about to explode, but could not find an answer. When i google "should i use a preservative when using castille soap" I get no answer. The recipe is basically 8oz water, 1oz castille and essential oils. If u could please let me know I'd appreciate it. Or point me to where i can get a clear answer. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Soap is self preserving on its own, but something that heavily diluted should have one. The question isn't really "should i use a preservative when using castille soap", it's "should i use a preservative when using water", which is likely why you didn't get an answer that was clear :) Many things do not require a preservative if pure (soap, salt, honey, sugar), but require a preservative when mixed with water!

Hey Monica! It will likely thicken up over the next few days, but it won't ever be very thick-you'll notice mine is pretty thin as well. If it's still too thin for you after a week you can try adding a bit of guar gum (1/4-1/2 tsp) and blending that in with your immersion blender to get a thicker consistency :)

How would I make a thinner leave in conditioner? I have also had trouble with emulsifying wax mixing my oils and water. I keep making my leave in conditioners too greasy, too thick, or too thin. I haven't found a recipe I really like.

how can you go about making sure that the conditioner doesnt melt or go bad after youve made it cause i would get worried of making the conditioner and it would do that if i had it in the bathroom. ive been doing a plain yogurt and clover honey conditioner recipe which is good, i just get worried about it melting and going bad and i keep thinking if it was better if i kept it in the fridge.

It doesn't melt because it's an emulsion, and it doesn't go bad because we include a broad spectrum preservative :)

No. You can use the same amount. You will just have a product that is slightly thicker and a bit less conditioning. (But not drastically) You should try it!!

[@OmneyasWISH]

can i use Cyclomethicone (and or) Dimethicone instead of the silk peptides?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Not really, they're very different, with totally different solubility. You could try swapping out 1 or 2g of the oil for an equal amount of a silicone, and the silk is optional, but that wouldn't really be a substitute, just a change :)

First time mixing it was the same viscosity as yours is in the video, but 10 mins later it was already thicker than your final result. I can't use a funnel to help package this now... lame.

Awesome video BTW!!! Glad you decided to start making these :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hmm. That's odd. The first culprit with different thickness levels is usually a different emulsifier, but if you didn't change that-perhaps your water part evaporated off a lot of water before you combined the two? Did you keep the water bath at a bare simmer and only leave it over the heat for ~30 minutes?

[@jeal4311]

Humblebee & Me i think the difference is the extra gram she used of castor oil...that changed the ratio of oil-water

[@negarabbasi3796]

Is it a leave in? no need to wash i meant

[@kheilawarheart]

No it isn't.

can i use emulsifying wax instead of BTMS? also i dont have silk availalble anytime soon!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Maybe? "Emulsifying wax" isn't an ingredient, it's a very broad term for a wide variety of similar products that do similar things, and there are a bunch of different kinds, some of which will work, and some won't. Readers have reported that E-Wax NF and Emulsimulse don't work particularly well in this project, though I've only tried BTMS-50. You can definitely make it without silk, though! If you check the description box below the video all of this is written out there as well :)

[@ssonal21]

Thanks so much :)

[@brigidwilliams9144]

if I wanted to make this thicker what would I do??

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

The easiest way would be to switch 1g of castor oil and 1g of shea butter for 2g of cetyl alcohol :)

What is the shelf life

How to use it

[@iLoveIce]

How did u eliminate the vinegar scent ..?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's not completely eliminated, but between the EOs and the fairly low amount of vinegar it's pretty subtle ☺️

Have you ever made detangling spray?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I have, but I haven't shared anything. You basically want to make a spray with water, 2-3% cetrimonium chloride (check usage rates from your supplier as dilutions vary, so 2-3% may not be correct), and a preservative. Happy making!
