This is a light but nourishing hair conditioner made for thick hair with regular sebum content. It improves wet and dry combing without imparting any greasiness or making a lion's mane on your head.
If you have very dry or kinky hair, wait for our upcoming tutorial: rich green tea hair conditioner.

Procedure:
1- Blend phase A and B separately in two heatproof beakers.
2- Heat both phases in a water bath between 70-75 oC
3- Add phase B to A under high shear. Start cool down under stirring
4- At a temperature around 35 oC add phase C and blend
5- Make a 10% dilution in distilled water and measure the pH. In our case it was 4,2 which is in range for a hair conditioner. You may need to add more or less arginine in your future batches if the pH of your sample is too low or too high. (our preservative system performs independent of pH but still you don't want the pH of the conditioner to be too low or too high)
6- Take your stability and micro kit samples and fill the rest in a suitable container.
