Hi – so do you use warm or cold water with the guar gum? And do you leave the detangler in your hair or wash it out?

Poppy

Hello,

Just across this old post. I’m intrigued, why did you stop using guar gum in your hair products? I use it in everything I haven’t noticed any issues (yet!)

Poppy

Thank you 🙂 I’m just seeing your response. I love it so don’t want to eliminate but your experience is very useful to know. I keep it at no more than 0.5% and it’s been so far fine for my hair but I always wondered if my products with guar gum are more likely to cause scalp build up although I never intentionally cream my scalp.

Hello Curly Tea!
I have been experimenting with guar gum and have a love hate relationship with it! It provides super slip and softness like I’ve never seen before but when my hair dries there is literally no moisture in my hair and feels super dry even with a boatload of other oils and butters. I added the guar at 1.24% straight into the cool down phase of my creation. Do you know if Guar Cat would do the same? I know it’s supposed to have added conditioning properties unlike regular guar. Or do you know of any other things I could sub the guar gum with?

Hello , do you expérience flaking when making Deep conditionner with guar gum?
