Hi gooey people

I keep seeing videos of 'batter' being tipped over lovely ladies heads... and I wanna try it.
But, what batter is the best to use? Pre-made batter mix from the shops is flour, and when you add the water + egg.... my lovely curly hair will be no more

Cake mix is surely the same? (and bloody expensive)

Give me guidance... and I will give you goo

Oh... and for those who like their goo nasty.... just look at that bucket... eewww
The things I do

cake mix here in the U.S. is not like that, not sure about the UK though. The cake mix here is amazing, just mix w/ some warm water, add some liquid food color and it's ready to go, doesn't stay in your hair like the flour stuff! Feels really smooth, too. Almost like thick, warm silk. But again, I'm not sure if you have that in the UK! Maybe you could order a case online

Hi Ariel... love your messy stuff (oh the fun we would have together... )

Mmm... perhaps the UK batter only mixed with water would work. It certainly is flour, and I have very thick curly hair - and I like it that way!

I will pop over and we can go shopping

As often as you get messy, Im surprised you even have curly/wavy hair at all.

Tara that bucket looks disgusting. You just made me totally rock hard!! x

well I just did a search and it looks like the U.S. brands of cake mix do contain flour...........maybe it's just not enough flour to make those awful clumps in our hair!

Is cake mix expensive there? Here you can get it for as cheap as 89 cents a box, takes between 2 and 3 boxes to make a big bowl of batter!

I'd go shopping w/ you any day dear

tara, i used cake mix also on a girl with long hair without any problems. maybe try it first with smal portion.

oh and did you do a headdunk in that bucket?

UK 'Cake Mix' in supermarkets is the same as the US version. Asda and Tesco both do it for about 20 to 25p a packet. Seven packets in a standard sized mixing bowl will make some thick, smooth, slime. You can have it so thick you can almost sculpt it on a person, or very runny.

We like to add a drizzle of olive oil (cooking oil will do) for shine and extra insurance against hair-clumping. It adds a paint-like quality, almost (I'm wearing it in my avatar!).

It seems to sell out from supermarkets very quickly after a delivery - you're not telling me they're all making cakes!

Enjoy!

My local Tesco is doing 3 for 2 on all baking products. I get the chocolate cake mix, add warm water and whisk up until smooth. But there are lots of other things that are fine with hair, my hair is always fine after and I have a lot of hair!
And adding an egg won't harm your hair either! In fact, it's good for the hair!

Thanks all! Yes, I have noticed how fast the 'budget' batter sell out in my local Asda and Tesco .... dirty vermin

Its 8p a packet, so pretty good value I think. I have to say that the 'value' range stuff really is a winner... jams, batters, custard etc.

If it washes out of your long hair Jessie... then I should be fine.

I will get 20 packets and have a go. Well if you are going to batter yourself... you might as well do it properly ... whoo!

The oil tip is a good one - I did think of doing that. We sometimes add oil to our goop if its looking a little too sticky (is that possible... too sticky?)

Yay batter!! Cake batter is mine and my hubby's favorite. I don't have any problems getting it out of my curly fro, and my curls haven't gone anywhere yet.

Speaking of which, we're a bit overdue for a session...guess I know what I'm doing later now

Have fun with the batter!!

Granted I don't have long, or curly hair, but I've found that enough warm water with flower, sugar and eggs works just fine. I think they key is enough eggs to keep the flower from clumping.

Lol i will never try flour mixture again! It really was weeks until I stopped finding clumps in my hair!

Cake mix contains cake flour, not regular "all-purpose" flour. It is processed differently so that it doesn't form gluten as easily, which is what sticks to your hair. I have not tried buying straight cake flour, not sure if that would give the same results or if the ready cake mixes contain other ingredients that add to its easy cleanup.

Think it might have been Noise that posted this originally but I saved it for a messy day.

"Pudding is made of corn starch [corn flour]. It's easy to make a pudding-esque substance by mixing cornstarch and cold water until you have a thick batter. Slowly pour that into boiling water and continue to boil for awhile, stirring constantly. 5 minutes will get you a white-ish goo. After about 10 minutes, it will get very translucent - almost clear.

Experiment with the amounts. 1 cup cornstarch to a gallon of water is a good starting point. Remember that it will thicken a LOT as it approaches room temperature and almost solidify in the refrigerator. If you want *real* pudding (i.e. edible) replace some of the water with milk and add some sugar & vanilla. To make it chocolate, I think you could probably add Hershey's syrup or maybe powdered cocoa. You can also use food coloring, paint, etc."

The big difference it the use of corn flour. When I used normal flour in the past I was picking lumps of the stuff out of my pubes for days.

On a related matter, how is powdered custard versus a carton of the ready made stuff? Tara, I think you are the expert on this one.

Smudge

Thank you for this post. I've wondered about that for years!

The cheap 6p a packet custard is brilliant. You can fill a bucket for less than a pound.
The trick is do't make it too thick... and then let it thicken as it cools. Takes around 4 hours to cool enough - occasionally stir it to get the really hot custard to the top.
If you make it really thick to start, you end up with VERY stodgy custard by the time its cold.

Then serve over boobs as required

Thanks, Tara. Do you use the stuff that needs milk too. The Tesco tub of custard powder, for example?

May your boobs forever taste of vanilla

Smudge

No - not tried that. Just the water based custard.
As some may have noticed... I like big amounts of goo

hope you don't mind me asking in this thread as well but in some of the american producers videos i see large tubs of pudding

what brand is it and is it available in the uk?
