Making a deep conditioner for fine hair
Hi Everyone I am making a deep conditioner for fine hair based on a formula from making cosmetics I notice in the formula they use 79% water. Is this too much? or just right for fine hair? and if it is too much or If I want to adjust it later for thicker hairs what properties would I increase or decrease as well if I decide to decrease the water content? thank you! and here is a link to the formula pdf and its also copied below but a little hard to read.it is the deep conditioner souffle.MakingCosmetics Inc.

This will be a fairly thick cream, the amount of water would not concern me. I have made similar conditioner masks with 74.5 % water and they were very thick. Make a test batch, and if you want it thicker, you can replace 1-2% water with Cetyl Alcohol.
