Remove glycerin and decyl Glucoside.
Increase glutamate to %20 or more -
Thank u . I shall try this but why do u suggest not using glycerine n decyl for colored hair..moreover is this quantity of cmea good as foam booster too?
-
They reduce the viscosity.
I wouldn’t use cmea more than %1or 2. -
These surfactants are nearly impossible to thicken. Even crothix won’t work with cocoyl glutamate. Your only option is gums.

See if you can replace cocoyl glutamate with sodium lauroyl sarcosinate 20%. Increase coco betaine to 15%. Bring down CMEA to 1 or 2% (may not even be necessary).
Now I think you can thicken with salt and CDEA 1-2%.
Also check if silicones are affecting your viscosity.I dont think glycerin is going to help with color protection or anything.
What is Gel aqua?

I dont have access to sodium lauroyl sarcosinate..gel aqua is liquid carbomer..so with sodium cocoyl glutamate??Padmavathi said:See if you can replace cocoyl glutamate with sodium lauroyl sarcosinate 20%. Increase coco betaine to 15%. Bring down CMEA to 1 or 2% (may not even be necessary).
