Can i skip hydrolyzed silk and add keratin protien? Or skip pq10 with pq7

[@TracyD2]

Very nice. I make my own prepoos. I just use oils, aloe and herbs. Massage my poor dry yet psoriasis scalp. Comb it down then wash out. I have one a make with salicylic acid then I’ll let it sit on my scalp for a bit. Especially if I’m having a flair up. I got that idea from a head and shoulders scalp cream ingredient list. Works pretty good. I wonder if what you made will work for kinky curly hair as a regular rinse out conditioner.

Thank you for sharing . Just wanted to ask do we have to test the pH level in hair masks and if yes when do we check . Thank you

[@natali7718]

Thanks for sharing! I have a confusion regarding how to measure PH of the final preparation. I have PH strips. Shall I soak it in the preparation itself? Or we need to dilute bit of preparation in water and then measure? This method doesn't seem to be accurate...not sure why those PH strips with their not accurate mesauring even exist if everyone is saying, PH is very important.

hi, I have a question that I can't find an answer to. I've been watching your videos and you're so knowledgeable so I'll ask you. how do I make hydrolozed silk? I have tussah silk that I use in my soaps but I wanna use it in my body care products.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hydrolyzing silk isn't an at-home DIY thing; you'll need to buy some hydrolyzed silk and save your Tussah silk for soap :)

[@nadiyaromero4442]

Hey Marie. Absolutely love your DIYs! Quick question: about panthenol - I'm interested in working with it, so I wanted to know if it dissolves completely in a room temperature water base, or do you have to heat it for it to dissolve?

It will dissolve in room temperature water :)

Hi Marie! I have the polyquaternium 10 but is not powder like yours (mine is like a gel), should I use the same proportion?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'd check with your supplier to find out what the concentration is-it's likely diluted in some amount of water. Once you know the concentration of the solution you can adjust the amount as required. Happy making!

[@deegarcia4391]

Hi! Thank you for this video! Question? Is the gum important? And what is it for?

[@sensimania]

The gum is for thickening the formula. You don't have to use that particular gum, but you would need to use something to thicken the formula. If you don't want to use guar gum, you could Google different types of thickening agents and experiment with them

I do have another question though - have you ever tried an over the counter product called "It's a 10 - leave in conditioner hair potion w/keratin?" It's a pump cream and it does wonders for dry hair. Are any of your recipes similar to that by any chance? Thank you so much for answering my question!

[@soussa4593]

if I substitute btms 50 with btms 25 will that effect the viscosity/the whole formula although I know it wouldn't be as conditioning

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It will; 50 doesn't thicken as much as 25 :)

can I add any colorants ? also can I add the fragrance oil after I mix all the other ingredients ^^ ? thanks

Absolutely wonderful mask. Can the coconut oil be replaced with Cocoa butter in this formulation

[@pamoutaf]

I'm taking the liberty to give my opinion but I would think so, although you would get a thicker product I think bc cocoa is a lot stiffer than coconut oil. And also, Cocoa butter doesn't penetrate your hair like Coconut Oil does so I personally wouldn't substitute it :) Sunflower oil is another great oil for the hair that really penetrates the hair shaft!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You can try it, but Moutafian's points are correct :) (Thanks, Moutafian!)

I want to add keratin powder. But it smells awful and strong. I don't have a problem with the liquid version though. I wonder if you have keratin powder and is that really smelly?

Actually even I was wondering the same ...and yes it does smell I guess but I'm thinking it might be covered by the essential oil that we use ...and anyway I'm not bothered by the smell ...so thinking of adding anyway 😊

Why would you shampoo out a mask? Your taking all the good stuff back out of your hair and shampoo can dry it out. Generally the way mask work is you shampoo first, put on the mask for a few hours, rinse out and go. 😊

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Because if I don't I end up with super greasy, stringy, dirty hair-and after shampooing I still notice benefits :)

[@persephonespomegranate]

Sharon Salzano I know it sounds totally counterintuitive, doesn’t it?! But as a fellow fine-haired lass, I can attest to what Marie is saying. There’s actually a ton of pre-shampoo masks available commercially so there is a market there, albeit perhaps more niche than a traditional mask. They’re really more about strengthening and protecting your hair vs moisturizing per se which is one of the main benefits of a “final step” hair mask. I’ve used some commercial ones before - here’ are some examples if you’re interested. They’re usually marketed as “pre-shampoo treatments” to avoid confusion but a lot of them are essentially just richer masks and w/ ingredients that penetrate the hair shaft (like coconut oil in Marie’s formulation) so some of the goodness you’re putting on remains post-shampoo: www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-pre-shampoo-treatments
