Good suggestion Johnny. I have been doing that for awhile now....using a bit of regular conditioner mixed with distilled water.

I am planning phase 2 of the Blue Max line as we speak and a leave-in conditioner/refreshing spray is at the top of the list. the watering down trick works great, but I want to get in there with the chemists and see if there are any ways that we can add strengthening properties and anything else than might benefit the hair.

Another one of my main goals is to also make it suitable to be used as a "refreshing spray". I started using leave-in EXCLUSIVELY on the hair. No more plain water except for washing. I now use leave-in to wet the hair to restyle the hair, and also to wet the hair before doing a removal to act as a buffer against the alcohol.

As far as how you use a leave-in in conjunction with Blue Max, I don't bother to use it during my wash routine, as the regular conditioner leaves plenty of moisture. The key is to use the serum immediately after you condition to lock that moisture in. This effectively seals the the surface of the hair. Water based conditioners simply evaporate too quickly from processed hair without "help".
