Try with water replacing honey to see if it makes any difference
and try adding a silicone, preferably a water dispersible silicone for ease of formulating.Is HEC intended as a thickener?

i have dimethicone in stock.. but its not water soluble i think.. any suggestion regarding which silicone shd i use?

Limonene is a solvent, remove it.

SLES and HEC should not be used together (based on my experience).
HEC 1% seems too much, and if you are using hot process (heating HEC at some point) should lead to depolymerization of HEC. -

@Gunther…i have arranged some peg 8 dimethicone.
i have a doubt regarding the use of lipids in shampoos. adding a lipid makes me nervous because the outcome varies according the surfactant used and once the lipid is thr you are bound to use emulsifier too. but when i go to the hlb values it shoes sles a high HLB emulsifier . does that mean i have to pick only one emulsifier lower than the mean if calculated of lipid though they will contribute only 2-3 percent of total formulation.
