Ran out of the previous batch that I made (50g). Findings:
- Spreading in hair instead of on brush first works, not sure if it’s more even but it feels like I have more control how much I put where
- Putting more on front locks helps with frizz – that’s the part of my hair that gets frizzy e.g. from being wind blown
- Still figuring out exactly how much to put where, but in any case my day 3 hair is less frizzy and more curly than my day 1 hair used to be
- Putting a little too much in will give a bit of a gel cast feel, it does scrunch out a little bit. I don’t like it on day 1 but it gives great day 2 hair
New batch. Same as before, but with Xanthan gum added to hopefully thicken it more.
- 6g L-Arginine HCl
- 69g conditioner
- 3 drops (~0.2%) essential oil
- 0.15g (0.2%) Xanthan gum
It didn’t really thicken it up much. Maybe I didn’t use enough, or maybe Xanthan gum doesn’t work very well any more 10 years after its manufacturing date. To be honest the creme was a nice consistency already without it so I don’t think I’ll use it again.
