Can that work for any conditioner? I use Tresemme naturals moisturizing conditioner

@wreckincrew92 It might work with that conditioner. Just make sure not to mix the conditioner and store it that way because adding anything to a conditioner can dilute the preservative and make it go bad quicker. Making the mix and using it the same day is the best :)

so could you use flax seed gel to make the cond. slippery too?

@swtcarmel1 That could possibly work, I haven't tried adding flax seed to conditioner so I am not sure. The marshmallow root is thin and very slippery, similar to flax seed gel but not exactly the same.

@1ballerina I tried it (flax seed for slip) today ! I made a thinner consistency than the gel you would normally use for definition ... I used 1 cup of water and 1 tbsp of flax seed... I added about half of the gel I made to one cup of cond... (I used a cond. that has no slip at all) and it was amazing!!!!! Thanx for the idea...u planted the seed!

Wow, just tried this with my homemade conditioner and it worked amazingly well. Even better than KCKT. Good stuff.

@pinkpeachie1 Hi, I purchased the marshmallow root from a co-op, an organic health food store in the herb section. You might be able to call around to health food stores and/or herb shops to see if they carry it :)

Thank you for this vid!!

[pinkpeachie1]

where exactly did you purchase it from?

@liquidbutta18 You're welcome! What a pleasure to hear! Yes boiling it is great and then you can reboil as you said :) I will usually make enough for what I need on a particular day so that I don't have to worry about storing it. When storing it in the refrigerator without a preservative, treat it just like a food product :) You might be able to freeze the mucilage in small batches to keep it fresh longer but I haven't tried that :)
