 What about the Conditioner? November 28, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have used many of Valerie's recipes for many years (on a personal level) and have been delighted and have greatly benefited from the results. So the conditioner on page 200 is the first one that hasn't 'worked' and I wonder why? I am the sort of girl that meticulously counts out 6 grains of salt if that is what the recipe says so I followed her conditioner recipe exactly. The problem? Well, the instructions say to rinse off and I did, hmmm and did again, and did again. Sticky, greasy hair still described my dark locks. I tried the Vinegar rinse. I then resorted to shampooing off (which Valerie advises for some of the other conditioners) which resulted in only slightly less sticky, greasy hair. Still not able to go out into the world arena. My hair felt yuk!
It was only when I washed my hair again, (this time with a commercial shampoo) that I was able to remove the residual oil of the conditioner.
Disappointing and extremely time consuming. Thank goodness I wasn't washing my hair prior to a big night out.
Can any 'guru' out there help me with this? Is there a misprint in the book? I love making my own personal care products and want to make my own conditioner as well. Please advise. Thank you!

Excellent book. Very good explanations and very helpful with finding remedies for all the common ailments. I reference this book all the time and basically can't do without it. I recommend it very highly.
