    Hi everyone,

    I’m curious about making hair styling wax, I can make classic pomade but not so sure about how to make a hair wax (provide matte finish, dry and natural hair style). I saw so many things in the ingredients (polimer, PVP etc)
    Do you guys have any advise about how to make a simple wax for a beginner like me ? thanks (and sorry if my english is bad)

    As you are a beginner, I don’t think you should be venturing into more than one project at a time (noted and responded to your perfume post).

    A lot of members here are in this business as their main employment and require to make a living. It is, I feel, unfair of you to request formula information without giving any input yourself.

    There is a lot of manufacturers and suppliers literature online which will give at least some information to start you on your quest.

    @johnb It was a joke that fell quite flat. I am a Formulator in the US. When you mentioned the caution to avoid asking for free work, I jokingly offered to put all my pending paid Formulation work onto the site for others and take a nap.
