Grab Your Ingredients: First things first, let’s gather everything we need. You’ll want your conditioner, corn starch, food coloring (if you want a splash of color), a mixing bowl, and a spoon.
Mix Conditioner and Corn Starch: Pour 1/2 cup of your favorite conditioner into the mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of corn starch to it. This is your base mix, and it’s about to get really fun!
Add Some Color: If you’re using food coloring, now’s the time to drop in a drop or two. Go with one drop first to see how vibrant it is. You can always add more if you want it brighter.
Mix It All Together: Start stirring with your spoon. At first, it might seem like they don’t want to mix, but keep at it. They’ll start combining after a bit of elbow grease.
Check the Consistency: After a few minutes of mixing, check if the dough is too sticky. If it sticks to the sides of the bowl and your hands too much sprinkle a little more corn starch into the bowl. Just add a bit at a time, stirring between additions. When the dough begins to pull away from the bowl’s sides and feels pliable and moldable in your hands, you’ve nailed it.
Final Touches: Once you’ve got the perfect texture, give it a good knead with your hands. This helps make sure all the ingredients are fully integrated and the dough is smooth and uniform.
