DIY Anti-Frizz Hair Serum

[divadoll]

I found this recipe and I can't wait to try it out. I'm short 1 ingredient but here's the recipe:

99% Cyclomethicone (and) Dimethicone

1% Phenyl Trimethicone

If you check out the ingredient list of your serum, you'll find the same thing except for the parabens and fragrance.

Actually, I use a silicone free serum. I don't know if it has parabens or fragrance though. It's my HG serum, so I am hesitant to try anything else. If you do try it I would love to know how you like it.

 

[divadoll]

Definitely. I just ordered the phenyl Trimethicone so I'll make it when I get it.

I found this article some time ago. Never tried them but maybe one day...



Making Hair Serum

With these two ingredients, you’ll be able to make 500 grams/16.69 ounces vs the 1.69 ounces you’d pay around $10-$20. In there is not fragrance added, the cost will be $14.

I got the ingredients off of DUHH KILLER STRANDS blog.com.

Lotioncrafter 1550 Phenyl Trimethicone

Lotioncrafter LC8515 or LC995 Cyclomethicone

5.0 0.17 Fragrance

Don't let this mini recipe throw you.

Its virtually 5 Grams of Trimethicone added with 495 grams of Cyclomethicone

495 Grams is 16 1/2 ounces! 16 ounces of Cyclomethicone costs $7.75

Here is a hair glossing spray that can be used in a spray bottle. Note: the pumps can vary in their ability to properly mist some formulations. Adjust the level of Cyclomethicone down in the following formulation if this proves to be a problem for your pump assembly.

The Simple Shine Hair Glossing Spray in lotioncrafters is as follows:

Phase A -1% Lotioncrafter 1550 Phenyl Trimethicone

Phase B -98% Lotioncrafter LC8515 or LC995 Cyclomethicone

Phase C -1% Fragrance

It says you can make 16oz but I would not make that much because I may not like it. Plug in the %% into any formula calculator or formulator and you can make as small an amount to sample it.

The formula I posted is Hair Polishing Serum. Since I have the Cyclomethicone and dimethicone, I might as well utilize both.

In the event you don't like the serum, you can use the silicones to make a simple face cream or face lotion. I would recommend you buy the EmulThix. It is an awesome emulsifier to make a super quick moisturizer.
