Abstract
The invention provides a system for preparing a hair shampoo, conditioner, and styling composition, wherein each system is composed of separate components that can be combined as desired by the user to provide customized hair care formulations. The systems include a water-thin base composition, a thickening composition, and optional enhancing additives, wherein each composition is separately packaged. The viscosity of the end-product shampoo, conditioner, or styling composition can be varied, from a thick, pourable liquid to a thicker, pasty material depending on the amount of thickener that is added to the base.
