Almond Milk Cream Hair Rinse Recipe / leave in conditioner

I made thick acidic almond milk! To be used as hair conditioner. Starting with
I think its going to work but im not sure if it will weigh hair down so i will make a few different trials.
this first one is simple, strained almond milk (ph 6), then i added citric acid until it went to ph 4. then i added guar gum and blended it. as you can see i probably shouldnt have blended it anymore for the picture.

this was the hemp seed milk pre blending. hulled hempseed (35 grams) to 200ml distilled water.

it blended really well. i found this https://patents.google.com/patent/US20130202777A1/en and thought this is cool. i kept blending it till there were no more noticeable bits, kind of surprized about this actually. i tasted a drop and it was sweet. spread the milk onto my hands and it was very moisturizing!! but then i got an allergic reaction so i stopped. my whole mouth got itchy and my throat was closing a bit and my hands and face started itching like crazy. from the bulk food store :/ so i guess i shouldnt handle it at all.

so i made almond milk from ground almond instead! (about 25 grams) to 250 ml water.
strained the pulp with my coffee filter (i know it looks really gross) but i didnt strain it through the paper anymore because it felt fine (its a rinse off product)

 here is the cup of almond milk (came to less than a cup on this measuring cup)

 the ph tested 6

 to 15 grams of the milk i added citric acid (.25 grams) and the ph dropped to 5

 i added an additional .25 grams and it dropped but is it 5 or 6

 

so i added an additional .50 grams and it dropped to 4. so i dont even know if this is safe lol. i mean what if someone makes this and it burns their scalp off man ill get in trouble.

 to this is added a really tiny amount of guar gum .06 grams and blended it and i think i added more in requally small amounts (i didnt take these notes) and then it became this stuff.
im not sure if the proteins from the almond milk are stable ? because i was looking at it as a form of digestion, so is it a predigested protein for your hair? im not sure. its like is this the crebs cycle and how or what did i make? so thats all i got. im going to make another portion with essential oil and baobab oil and polysorbate 80 and the urea preservative which also aids in getting the actives into our body. i dont know if its going to preserve or stay stable. but its great as a citric acid rinse (ive only tried the one without the milk) and apparently black girls make guar gum hair gel (saw some youtube videos)

----------------------

im having terrible residual allergy symptoms from the hemp seed milk. so serious omg i have to buy allergy medication now. booooooooo

....................-----------------------............................-------------------------................................--------------

one bottle has citric acid, one does not!

the citric acid bottle also has more mct oil and the original essential oil scalp blend (it smells very medicinal with rosemary, peppermint, hyssop, ravensara, green coffee, its kind of a viral infection blend because i became aware of peoples viral infections on their scalp when working as a massage therapist. so turns out you can get hpv warts on your head, and also dermatitis feeds on the staph virus on your head so this aromatherapy blend aids in reducing these viruses as well as stimulates blood flow)

anyway if the one without citric acid turns out to be a good conditioner, great, if not i can always add citric acid to it if it turns out to be too residual-heavy on my hair.

these are both preserved with the urea preservative.

actually i forgot to add the pumpkin seed protein. woops. 

should i add it? to which one?

ok i tried the citric acid one

it made my hair feel like doll hair but when it dried, the strands were like, i dont know, more compact and smooth but it didnt feel slippery. so i rinsed it off again. i think its too acidic for me too, and will take it back to 5 or 6 ph. 

i found this http://science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/ph-and-your-hair-little-redox-to-make.html

ill try the one with no citric acid tomorrow.

my hair is super fine and theres so little of it, so it needs to be fluffy and dry, so any amount of the rinse left in my hair makes it appear kind of wet looking with the strands easily coming together. i think this rinse is probably perfect for people with thick curly hair, making shiny and chunky curls.

Recipe:

25 grams ground almond

250 ml water (one cup) (sorry this isnt very precise) 

blend these two until you have almond milk, strain with a coffee filter / mesh

prepare: 3.5 grams of essential oil blend and nutritious oil blend, and polysorbate 80. omit if you do not have it. reduce oil blend to 1.5 grams if you do not have polysorbate 80. i used mct oil, and baobab oil (try almond, coconut, argan etc) 

add this oil and polsorbate 80 blend to some distilled water

then add it to your almond milk.

add 1/8 tsp of guar gum to your milk-oil. mix it in, or blend, avoiding bubbles, and let it sit until it thickens.

add more guar gum if you want it thicker, but do wait until the guar gum is absorbed because it thickens considerably.

add .5 grams of citric acid at a time until it reaches your desired ph. 

i made it to 4 or 5 and i think its too strong for my scalp. so add a little at a time.

weigh your product and add your preservative accordingly. if you do not have preservative just use it all up at once, or make less. 

not sure how long fresh almond milk lasts. not long so make sure to use distilled water as well.

. now i have NO IDEA if this will hold up, spoil, burn your scalp off (you can avoid this by taking out the citric acid) (but then it might be too heavy on your hair) nor do i know what actually happens to the almond milk when you add citric acid. I HAVE NO IDEA but anyway my hair feels Super Soft and fluffy and smells lovely (after the second rinse with just water-as made, its kinda strong for me because i felt some tingling on my scalp so i probably burned it oh god i hope i dont lose any more hair. *sighing* so probably my roommate wont try it cos shes got black hair and doesnt want to mess it up so i have to find a new test subject. but ill add more water to the citric acid one to bring the ph to about 5.5/6 ) 

ok so theres a recipe i came up with you can try to use AT YOUR OWN RISK 

but if its great please add a comment!!!

ok wow the one with citric acid i added more distilled water to it but it seperated :( but i already gave it to my bleached coworker. and tried the non citric acid one myself and its freakin amazing as a leave in? i was going to add citric acid to it but i am just going to make another one and give her this as is. its minty and tingles maybe the citric acid one that i thought was burning was just the peppermint. and i ruined it by adding more water? anyway i will try again. 

it doesnt leave an oily residue as a leave in for my scalp. and its watery enough to squirt out of a spray bottle right onto my scalp. *swooning*

i think ive made the leave in scalp treatment of my dreams (well maybe i wont be using bulk ground almonds, ill buy a sealed package. lol.) it doesnt leave my hair greasy and i can use all the essential oils i need without having to use a traditionally oily carrier.

so my sidetrack turned into this whole new cool thing i dreamed about ages ago when my hair started falling out. i thought i had alopecia but the doctor thought it was an iron and b deficiency. oh yeah ill add vitamin b3 to the scalp treatment. *swooning* i love making this stuff, its cheaper than therapy and way fun.
