  white threads/ flakes seen on hair upon setting spray application HELP

  Posted by arastellar09 on June 23, 2025 at 12:22 pm

  this is the ingredient list:

  PHASE A-

  Distilled water

  Sodium Phytate (0.1%)

  Maizecare Clarity Polymer (5%)

  Porpanediol (1%) + Aloe Vera 200X Powder (0.2%)

  PHASE B-

  SymbioSolv Clear Plus MB (4%)

  Essential oils blend (0.6%)

  PHASE C-

  Propanediol (3%) + Panthenol (2%)

  Herbal extracts (8%

  Optiphen Plus (1.5%)

  Citric Acid (q.s. to pH 4)

  The resulting hair spray is clear, homogenous and stable. But upon application on hair (from a regular plastic mist spray bottle), it leaves some small white threads/ flakes after drying. WHY? AND HOW TO FIX THIS? AND hair drying is taking some time, so probably would add ethanol in the next batch, what are your suggestion regarding this and how much will actually make a difference? any other alternatives for quick drying?

  THANKS!
