    i would like to make a shampoo that doesnt strip the hair and that could help with defining the curl, tho thats gonna a job for the conditioners.   i would also liketo fight frizz by putting the humectantst in there, tho yes  i know its water solluble it helps in our hair. 

    any professional tips are very welcome.

    I don’t know where to start here….DEL the oils, DEL the glycerin, DEL the barisica (sic) alcohol, DEL xanthan gum.  Get hold of a cationic polymer - say guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride - and disperse/hydrate it carefully into water first, then add your chosen surfactants. That will be only your starting point. Build from there. Good luck.
