    Hello,

    how can I make a hairproduct with a high wax content (12%) more washable? Ive tried to incorporate solubilizers and stuff at low percentages, have you guys got any recommendations?

    Nonionic emulsifiers in there? “Solubilizers and stuff” sounds incomplete.

    I tried using different percentages of peg 7 glyceryl cocoate and peg 40 Hydrogenated castor oil, is it also appropiate to use cleansing agents in hair pomades to make it easier to rinse?
