Hair detangling
Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a very light hair detangler for my very fine hair:)
I’ve made the formula below, it is ok but not very good. My problem with this formula is,
1 - I’ve noticed some residue at the bottom of bottle after 2 weeks which I would love your opinion on any incompatibility in the formula
2 - How to improve the detangling property of the formula.The list of ingredients
Water, Propandiol 4% , Cetrimonium Chloride 2%, Glycerine 2%, Sodium PCA 2%, Polyquat 7 2% And the rest are 1% or under Poyquat 53, Hydrolysed Wheat Protein, Hydrolysed jojoba Protein/soy, Caprylic capric glucoside, Glycereth-26, Arginine, Betain, Citric Acid, Glyceryl Cocoate, Levulinic Acid / Sodium Levulinate, Bis-Ethyl(isostearylimidazoline) Isostearamide
Also, is there any of the following polymers nonionic? * Polyquat 10 * Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 * Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Diheptyl Succinate * Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride * Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer * Dehydroxanthan Gum * Maltodextrin / VP Copolymer I really appreciate your time and help in advance. -

Sorry but I have another question,
Is there any of those polymers in the list or even Hyaluronic acid would lend a better glide and detangling to the formula with no compatibility issue.
Thanks -
You could try n350 as it mimics dimethicone in products. I’ve used it at 5% and it’s great at detangling but maybe start with 3%

@Ryan23294 , thanks for your reply. I’ve bought this ingredient because I heard a lot about it but it is too heavy for my hair. My hair can’t tolerate more than 0.5g. Thanks again
