Clay pomade advice
Hi all
Okay I have finally produced a good hair clay pomade made with water, butters, oils, clay, glycerin, emulsifying wax, Soya Lecithin.
My problem is..
After it has been poured in to jars and cooled and I put my fingers through it, the texture appears slightly fluffy with possibly tiny air bubbles, however if I mix it with my fingers in the jar it turns into a smooth creamy texture which is correct and it looks brilliant.
I am am not sure what causes this, would it be simply the mixing stage, any issues with temperature, cooling down stage?
Any help appreciated.Thanks

What happens to the formulation after you have mixed it with your fingers? Does it return to the original fluffy texture or stay the creamy texture you wish to keep?

Sounds like you are possibly incorporating too much air while mixing. Hand mix a small batch and see if you get the same results.
