You could also use a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, or a 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. As long as it’s shampoo, it should work for making slime! If you don’t want to get shampoo in your measuring cups, you can squeeze roughly the right amount of shampoo directly into the bowl. If your slime isn’t slimy enough, you can always add more shampoo or more cornstarch to get it right.
Make sure you use shaving foam, rather than shaving lotion. You need it to be foamy and fluffy to make fluffy slime.
Adding more food coloring will make your slime bright and vibrant. If you want a lighter, pastel color, add only 1 or 2 drops to the shampoo mixture.
You might need more cornstarch to get the right texture for your fluffy slime. Start with 1/4 cup (31 g) and add more as you need it.
The amount of water you add each time doesn’t need to be exact. If you don’t want to use a tablespoon, add a small splash at a time.
If your slime is still too sticky, add a little more cornstarch and knead it in. Repeat this process until you’re happy with the texture of your slime. If you want to make your slime more interesting, knead in some polystyrene balls or some glitter. This will give your slime a crunchy consistency, or make it sparkle.
A thicker shampoo will make your slime softer and stretchier. For the best results, choose the thickest shampoo you can find. You can also use 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 toiletries, as long as they contain shampoo.
Shake your can of shaving cream or shaving foam for a few seconds before spraying it. Make sure you use shaving foam or cream, rather than aerosol shaving lotion. The lighter and fluffier your shaving cream is, the fluffier your slime will be as well!
If your slime doesn’t thicken up properly, add a little more salt and keep stirring it. The amount of salt needed will change based on the type of shampoo that you use. Your mixture should begin to look like slime, but will still be very soft and sticky.
Leaving your slime in the freezer for too long will turn it solid, making the slime very difficult to play with. Similarly, leaving the slime out of the freezer will make it start melting and become too sticky. Once you’ve finished playing with your slime, throw it away to stop it from melting or freezing.
Polyvinyl alcohol is the same active ingredient in the glue used to make slime, meaning it’s a perfect substitute. Make sure the peel-off face mask you choose has polyvinyl alcohol listed in the ingredients. You can add more or less shaving cream to change how fluffy your slime will be.
Your slime will start to thicken up, but won’t look like slime quite yet. Make sure all of your ingredients are fully combined before moving on.
The amount of contact solution you need will vary based on the amount of boric acid it contains, as well as the type of face mask you used. Only add enough to make your slime perfectly slimy! If you want a stretchier slime, add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) of water. Knead the water into the slime until the slime no longer feels wet.
