    Trying to see the effect of adding ultrez 20 carbomer in hair conditioner(wich have 3.8 ph) some strange phenomenon happened.

    *first try : adding 0.3% ultrez 20 carbomer Neutralised at 3.8 pH no viscosity added to hair conditioner I guess result is logic because at such pH carbomer didn’t work good to add viscosity.

    *second try : adding 0.3% ultrez 20 Neutralised at 4.8 two strange phenomenons happened the first high increasing of viscosity (viscosity is soo higher then 0.3% ultrez 20 solution) also the texture changed dramatically from smooth thin to granulated thick , the second phenomenon the obtained pH is 5.5 (so how mixing 4.8 pH solution with 3.8 pH solution gives 5.5 pH???!!!)

    I want from experts to explain me what happened exactly to get this two strange phenomenons? Any reaction happened?

    (the process was mixing 30% of 1% ultrez 20 carbomer solution Neutralised by TEA with 70% hair conditioner)

    Hair conditioner ingredients: Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Ceteareth-20, Panthenol, Shea Butter, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Polyquaternium-7, MPG, Citric Acid, Sodium benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone,Colorant, Fragrance.

    The right one is hair conditioner without carbomer and the left one with carbomer
