Staff Answer No, you can omit the fragrance or swap it out for another as long as it is safe for hair care.

Staff Answer The actual amount used in this recipe is 19.45 oz. of LuxGlide N5. Rather than adding two 1 lb. bottles of LuxGlide N5 to the shopping list and kit, we added (1) 1 lb. and (2) 2 oz. so it is not quite as costly to purchase. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Staff Answer This is the suggested usage for adding to products such as lotions, shampoo and conditioner. This can also be used as a base as previously done with cyclomethicone being used as a body spray or cologne. This hair oil needs this much LuxGlide to create a product that is not too greasy and will also help with detangling.

Staff Answer Both these recipes are good for your hair. The Botanical Silky Oil is using our natural replacements for dimethicone and cyclomethicone for people who were using these ingredients in their hair products. And, yes, you would not use IPM if using both of the LuxGlide products. We are giving options for using different ingredients when making a hair oil. We recommend looking at the ingredients to decide which has the attributes you most want in your product.

Staff Answer The recipe has been made with these exact ingredients. We no longer sell cyclomethicone as it has been reclassified as a hazardous material. If you choose to make substitutions, you would need to test the product to be sure it performs correctly.

Staff Answer Yes, this amount is correct. The natural substitutions for cyclomethicone and dimethicone are the main ingredients in this hair oil.
