Too thick to understand!!
Hi chemists
I am working on a hair clay but have an issue with thickness.
On cool down phase from 80c the formula is fine until it gets to 55c and then becomes too thick to mix making it difficult to add preservative and fragrance. However once cooled and in the jar as a final consistency, the product could do with being thicker (if that makes sense).
So how do I solve this please?
If I add more water this then affects the final consistency (too thin),
or should one of the ingredients below be replaced and with what?
Appreciate any help.
