Repair & Protection Lotion
Formula: 28201 Difficulty level: beginner Shelf life: min 3 months pH optimal: 5.5-6.0

Phase Ingredients Dosage % Total 100 gr
A Coco-silicone 28 28 gr
A Hairbond 2 2 gr
B Distilled water 37,4 37,4 gr
B Linden water 30 30 gr
B Hair-protect 2 2 gr
B Cosgard 0,6 0,6 gr

1. Heat phase A in a heat-resistant beaker on a water bath. When the mixture becomes clear and homogeneous, remove from heat.

2. Add the solution to the dedicated container.

3. Mix the ingredients of phase B and add over the solution from container

Note: I colored the aqueous phase to better highlight the phases in the recipe photo, otherwise the lotion is colorless to yellowish.

The result is a biphasic hair care lotion formulated with ingredients that seal cuticles and split ends, repair and prevent hair damage, smooth strands, protect from dehydration, provide thermal protection, improve hair appearance.
Apply to clean, dry or slightly damp hair before styling.
Shake well before application as it is a two-phase solution

Hello, You can add vege-keratin to this recipe. We recommend 2%, decreasing the water proportionally.

Hello Sarah, We can't recommend a replacement with identical characteristics to Hairbond. Basically, you can replace it with vegetable keratin, however this product does not provide thermal protection for the hair.

Hello! The silicones in our range are similar in function and sensory profile but are of plant origin and do not carry the negative properties of synthetic silicones. We recommend using the lotion up to 3 times a week.

I made the lotion, it's gorgeous, has anti frizz effect and detangles hair very well. Can you please tell me how often it can be used per week? It has 2 types of silicone, I couldn't find much info on the ones in the recipe. Hair-damaging silicones like dimethicone, it weighs the hair down and is very hard to wash out, over time leading to hair breakage. Is this also the case with these types of silicone in the recipe? If it were up to me, I would use it daily, the idea is not to damage and more by using it too often. Thanks

Hello, Is it possible to combine this recipe + the ingredients of the heat-protective spray? And can a small amount of apple cider vinegar be added to the water-based leave-in sprays? Thank you.

Hello! Prcatic, you can make the replacement, with the mention that only the Hair-protect ingredient provides thermal protection to the hair. Thanks for your appreciation, good thoughts!
