@Perry

Petrolatum: 40%
Paraffin liquid : 40%
Beewax: 20 %
what is the minimum level of castor oil seems good and needed to give high shine for hair? -
have any one idea about minimum level needed of castor oil to give smoothing and shiny effect ?

I don’t know. You have to experiment. 5% is a good place to start.

@Perry thanks for sure making try is needed you gave me what i want (start point).

Update @Perry thanks a lot i made four batchs:
1) with 0 % castor oil
2) with 5 % castor oil
3) with 10 % castor oil
4) with 20 % castor oil
So from 5 % the shining and smoothing effects are acceptables however the surprising thing that castor oil effect a lot the texture of product so the more level of castor oil the more waxy product wich is bad thing for me about texture .
