A little Static with conditioner
Hi,
I made a moisturizing liquid conditioner. Ph 4.2. Hair is very silky and soft. It has decent shine though I would like to improve it a little more. It feels really nicely conditioned though after completely drying it has a little bit of static. I’m confused as to why because it seems like I have more than enough cationics. It helps with frizz though I wish it could also work a little better in this department. Any advice on why it has a little static, how to improve frizz a little? If I wanted it to have a little more shine without getting any heavier should I add more cyclopentasiloxane? I also have Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone if that might be more suitable to replace some of the dimethicone for shine.
I used cutissential behenyl 18-mea as it makes hair especially silky and replenishes 18-mea. I used crodazoquat for aiding in hydrophobicity.
Thank you!

With that formula it’d be weir to see static buildup. Could you remove polyquaternium-10? It attracts water which is the opposite of you want to do with your formula.

Thanks! I’ll try and remove that. I noticed when I added pq10 that it helped hair hold styling a little more so that’s why I had that in there. Do you know of an alternative that won’t act as a humectant? Appreciate you!
