Enhancing Your Hair Treatment with Pure Keratin, Creatine 100, and Silicone Shine

It is possible to enhance your regular hair treatment by adding ingredients like Pure Keratin, Creatine 100, and Silicone Shine. These ingredients offer benefits such as strengthening hair structure, moisturizing, and adding shine.

Usage Rates

Based on the typical recommendations for these ingredients in hair care products:

• Pure Keratin: Recommended usage is 0.5-2.0%. For a rinse-off treatment, 1.0% is often suggested, while up to 2.0% can be used in leave-on products.
• Creatine 100: The recommended usage rate is 0.5-1.4%, with 1% being a common suggestion.
• Silicone Shine Max15: This ingredient can be used at a wide range, from 1% up to 50%, depending on the desired level of shine and the product type. For enhancing a treatment, a lower percentage like 1% could be a starting point, but you might adjust based on results and the overall formula of your base treatment.

Adding these ingredients at or near the recommended percentages should be effective for boosting the performance of your hair treatment.

Mixing and Storage

Regarding mixing a large batch versus mixing fresh each time, it is generally recommended to mix only the amount you plan to use in the short term or mix fresh for each application.

Adding active ingredients to a finished product can potentially affect its stability, viscosity, and preservation system over time. While some ingredients might mix in easily, others might require specific mixing methods (like Silicone Shine, which mixes best in the oil/silicone phase). Mixing into a finished product without proper formulation knowledge and preservation considerations could lead to separation, reduced effectiveness, or even microbial growth over time, especially if stored for extended periods or under varying temperatures.

Mixing fresh or in small batches helps maintain the integrity and effectiveness of both the base treatment and the added ingredients.
