How To Make your Own Synthetic Hair Conditioner


Conditioners are additive which enhance the 
feel,appearance,fullness,lubricity,reflectance and general manageability of hair. Conditioning helps protect your hair from harsh weather condition by re-moisturing dry hair and forming a protective layer around hair shaft, which helps to reduce split ends and breakage.



Ingredients used for making Hair Conditioner

The ingredients for Hair conditioner and their functions are:



  • Clodagh wax - this is used for holding the hair,it has less chance of drying out and aids in easy styling of hair.
  • Acetyl alcohol - this is a fatty substance produced by heating coconut oil and palm oil. it's the major component of hair conditioner which allows the conditioner to spread easily over the hair. Without it,the conditioner would probably separate out in the bottle (into oil and water).
  • Shea butter - this ingredient is rich in moisture (moisturizer, vitamin and healing the hair and scalp) - it promotes thick, healthy and lustrous strands of hair.
  • Paraffin oil - used as a solvent and lubricant
  • Dehyquart A - it is a quaternary compound that is preferably used as a conditioning additive; it has a positive effect on wet and dry combability. It is clear,yellowish liquid with a characteristic inherent odour.
  • Petroleum jelly - This works by creating a sealing barrier between your body cells, which keeps moisture and speeds up your skin's natural recovery from dryness, helping it heal from within. Its occlusive function also allows it to protect dry, cracked skin and minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
  • Industrial camphor - this ingredient is used in conditioner to treat injuries or scalp pains by promoting blood flow in the area affected. It could lead to irritation and reddening of skin when used at high amount.
  • Menthol - this gives a soothing sensation
  • Fragrance - it gives a percievable pleasant smell to the conditioner.
  • Preservative - ingredient used to prevent germs and decomposition of the conditioner. It also prevents various health risks that accompany contamination by germs and bacteria.
  •  Water- used as solvent .

  • Quantity of the Ingredients required to produce synthetic conditioner.

    • 1/2 cup Clodagh wax
    • 1 cup Acetyl alcohol
    • 1 tablespoon Petroleum jelly
    • 1 tablespoon Shea butter
    • 1 cup Paraffin oil
    • 1/2 cup Dehyquart A
    • Fragrance (as desired)
    • 2 tablespoon Menthol
    • 2 tablespoon Industrial camphor
    • 1 tablespoon Preservative 

    Steps on how to produce Synthetic Hair Conditioner

    1. Add 1 cup of Distilled Water to a sauce pan and place on your stove top on medium heat; while this is heating up,measure out all of your other ingredients in a separate bowl.
    2. Add clodagh wax to your heated content and allow it to dissolve
    3. Add acetyl alcohol and allow to dissolve too
    4. Add paraffin oil,shea butter,and petroleum jelly and give them a good stir. It will take at least 5-10 minutes to melt so just keep stirring occasionally using a whisk until your clodagh wax has completely melted. 
    5.  Add dehyquart A and drop the pan from heat immediately,
    6.  Once your wax, petroleum jelly and acetyl alcohol has completely melted, take off the pan from heat and mix using a stick blender or your whisk; you are going to mix until your mixture no longer separates. It will have a milky appearance and not separate into oil and water .
    7.  When you have stopped mixing, at this point you will add your preservative, fragrance ,menthol and industrial camphor and stir till it becomes cool. Once your preservative and fragrance has been incorporated, you are ready to pour into your bottles.
    8. That is all. The Hair conditioner will thicken as it cools. 
    9. It will become thick, rich, creamy, and nourishing.
