Help on what ingredient makes hair straw like
Hi. Ive been doing hair conditioner for my own use and tried different formulas. One that i remember is not liking the one from lotioncrafter.
Formula
Percent Ingredient
85.0 Distilled Water
2.0 DL-Panthenol * used d panthenol and just adjusted to 1%
0.2 Disodium EDTA
6.0 Lotioncrafter BTMS
5.0 Lotioncrafter DM350 *used 1000 instead of 350
1.0 Biguanide 20 *used liquid germall
0.8 FragranceHair is colored/dry/thin-fine
Im not sure if its because of the changes i made. I know i can use btms this high on my hair. So im leaning on the 5% dimethicone-that its too high for me? Can anyone let me know why dimethicone is too much for my hair type?
Also i cant use polyquat 7 more than 1% is it related to this?

What pH does your conditioner have?

@mizzm 5% of dimethicone is definitely too high for a conditioner. You can try a formula with around 2%. Also, even 1% of Panthenol in these type of formulas can be a wastw, since it’s basically a claim ingredient in a rinse-off.
