cationic proteins in shampoos
I read somewhere on this forum someone saying that using cationic proteins will improve the “glide” of the shampoo application. I tried to find that thread again but could not find it.
What are some cationic proteins that are commonly used for this purpose?
And how do you think they work to provide this effect?
Would cationic surfactants have a similar effect?

Unfortunately instead of cationic proteins, you have cationic peptides and other smaller molecules. I wouldn’t use them in a shampoo since few of those peptides have film forming capacity. I’d use them more (not cationic but normal hydrolyzed proteins) in a mask or leave-on product to allow difusion.
