    You’ll need to be a bit more specific than that.

    What specifically do you want to improve?
    What characteristics don’t you like?
    What benefits do you want to deliver that you aren’t already getting?

    Your product has no hair growth character… unless you’re adding things like minoxidil, there won’t be any no matter how you tweak your formula.
    The quantity of paraffin is fair as long as you’re satisfied with your product. There is no reference % for this kind of cosmetic ingredients.

    Word on the street is that castro oil is great for beard growth. Comes with restrictions though…
