** Although this is a solid product and the risk of contamination is very low, we recommend using a broad-spectrum preservative since this product is designed to be wet regularly and stored in a humid place.
Preparation steps
1. In a double boiler, melt the plant conditioner, the butters, the oil and the vegetable glycerin.
2. Once all the ingredients have melted, remove from heat and let cool a few minutes.
3. Meanwhile, weigh the rest of the ingredients and add them to the melted mixture. Mix well.
4. Pour into one (or two) silicone mold(s).
5. Put in the freezer for a few minutes to set. Let dry about 24 hours before first use.
6. Store the conditioner at room temperature.
How to use it
On wet, clean hair, glide the conditioner over in small circular motions. You can also, beforehand, rub the wet bar between your hands to help it emulsify.
Massage the scalp well with your fingers (if you have a dry scalp. Otherwise, focus on the ends!) and let sit a few minutes before rinsing. You'll feel your hair slippery and silky.
Place the conditioner on a soap dish and let dry between uses.
