    Hello there.
    Lower the amount of propylene glycol and glycerin. Try using 3 to 5% cetearyl alcohol in formula, it will immensely help to thicken it and act as a co-emulgator. Lower the argana oil content (it will only provide shine leave the hair oily). Only microcrystalline wax there is providing the higher melting point and that just won’t be enough. You can try to add 3 to 5% carnauba or higher percentage of microcrystalline wax.
