  How to make hair wax/cream water resistant?

  Posted by ajw000 on March 3, 2018 at 2:30 pm

  I am almost complete with my first hair cream/wax but am having an issue with water/sweat quickly reducing the hold power of the product. 

  How do I increase the water resistant properties? 

  Here are some of the Ingredients: 
  - Water: 50%
  - Ozokerite: 9%
  - microcrystalline wax: 5%
  - Peg40 castor oil: 5%
  - pvp/VA copolymer 73w: 8% (50%water solution)
  -pvp k30: 3% powder

  I am considering using acrylate copolymer to add a bit of water resistance to the formula.
