Hello i am formulating a 2 in 1 shampoo with cleansing and conditioning properties while minimizing irritation, ia m using

10% SLES, 3%cocamidopropyl betaine and 2%sodium cocoyl glutamate and 1.5% decyl glucoaide with0. 2 guar trimonium chloride

But ia m not having enough foam and conditionning effect and the hair can not be detangled easily i added amodimethicone 1% but it caused irritation so what should i do? I am thinking to use sodium cocoyl isethionate instead sodium cocoyl glutamate it will works?

10% of sles (70%active) and sodium cocoyl glutamate 2% (37%active) and cocamidopropyl betaine 3% (45%active) and decyl glucoside 1.5% (53%active ) can you help me more how can i calculate the ASM cause i am a beginner formulator and if i am not adding oils how can i have a nourishing formula also it is better to use sodium cocoyl isothionate and i tried a 0.3% of guar the formula was so greesy but not having enough conditionning effect and detangling effect also take in consideration that i added 1% glycerin and 0.5 % sodium benzoate and 0.5% fragrance and 1 % sodium chloride and citric acid as pH regulator and my pH is 4.8
