New formulation as of 4/1/09! This Basic Conditioner has a very short and simple ingredient list allowing it to work in any product line up. Hydrolyzed wheat protein and all the other top of the line ingredients we have chosen for this formula (prepared exclusively for us) enhance the conditioning properties of this conditioner. The pH of our conditioner compacts the cuticle layer of the hair, which will result in shiny, bouncy hair that is not weighed down. One of the reasons that people complain about the way their hair feels when they use castile soap as a shampoo is because the pH too high for hair proper care. The alkaline solution of castile soap makes the cuticle cells swell up and get rougher. Apply a light coating of conditioner to lower the pH of your hair even farther to leave your hair fresh, combable and to increase the elasticity of the hair. The active ingredients in the conditioner leave the hair feeling smooth, while leaving a "waxy" coating on the hair. Conditioner helps with detangling because hair tangles when the cuticle layer of one hair catches on the cuticle layer of another hair.

Our conditioner’s ingredients form a protective layer over the cortex where the cuticle cells have broken away, which creates a protective layer or coating over these rough edges. The protective coating created with conditioner also seals in moisture and reduces static electricity. On the reverse side you can over-condition the hair making the waxy layers weighed down the hair leaving hair looking limp. For best results do not put the conditioner on your scalp and living hair follicles, apply a small amount of conditioner along the length of your hair to the ends. The Basic Conditioner can be scented at .25 - 1.5% with essential oils or fragrance oils. We highly recommend that you scent any product at the lowest percentage first and increase as needed. This will help you avoid thinning of the product and excessive scenting. It is easier to add more scent if you need more, but impossible to remove scent without adding more product.
