Thank you! I’ll let you know how it turns out.

komirra, chemist77- you guys saved me a world of trouble! Bringing down the pH’s of my conditioners to around 4 helped enormously with the scalp burning. I have an embarrassingly extensive science education- but nothing in cosmetic chemistry, and it shows! Now, I’m just trying to make a mixture that works for my hair: komirra, where do you get SAPDMA from? I couldn’t find it in any of the usual haunts.

Thank you so much Komirra,
I’ll try both the behentrimonium chloride at a lower percentage and the Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine. With what percentage would you start? Adjust to 6.5? -
BTMS with cetearyl alcohol (BTMS 225) looks great on my hair but the cetearyl alcohol makes my scalp itch. For my facial moisturizers, BMTS 50 works beautifully, but for a conditioner BTMS 50 makes my hair frizzy- on account of the butylene glycol. I’d love a BTMS-cetyl alcohol product or a stand-alone BTMS that I could mix with cetyl alcohol. Thank you for responding. I am out of my element!
