  • Ok
    A full 24 hours on, its mostly set.
    More like a soft icing sugar approach now

    I’ll let the tray dry out some more before trying to separate the tablet into cubes

    But I think I’ve got 84 cubes out of this batch & I admit I’ve test driven one in the dishwasher already with positive results
    So I’m quite happy about this :)
  • Hi.

    Could you tell me what measurements & ingredients you used please?
    The batch i made has a cloudy film on all the crockery & glasses :(

    I’d really like to try and get a good batch.

    Thanks x

    Cosmetic science 101 FAIL: waste of food, license fee and 'researcher' salary. Plenty of free full text studies and science-y blogs online. Hair is dead, it cannot digest food ingredients!

    Fundamental ingredients of any true hair conditioner are cationic surfactants and fatty alcohols. These do their best in under half an hour, accelerated by a little body heat (wrap head).

    Coconut oil fatty acids are scientifically proven to penetrate damaged hair better than olive oil (three classic, well known studies).

    Food recipe sounds more expensive and less effective than a basic commercial conditioner, claggy and difficult to wash off.

    Mashed banana will thicken the mix but neither penetrate nor patch repair the surface (molecule size and polarity). Could well reduce combability so poor conditioning agent.

    Honey and glycerin are humectants (water attracting). Honey particularly tends to pouf up curly/ wavy/ frizz prone/ porous hair. Honey is a devisive ingredient in the curly world.

    Cationic surfactants and fatty alcohols also act as emulsifiers so aiding the efficient removal of excess coconut oil when massaging and rinsing.

    HTH.

    This is brilliant :heart:
    Thank you for such an informative,and interesting post xx
