Professional Chemist / FormulatorFebruary 17, 2019 at 2:14 pm in reply to: HEC - Hydroxyethyl cellulose@Muhammad7 you can increase the level of HEC to have more viscosity , change the type of HEC ( there are a lot type of HEC wich give different viscosity ) and finally you can think about other electrolyte resistant thickner .

Professional Chemist / FormulatorFebruary 13, 2019 at 11:12 pm in reply to: question about emulsifier for hair wax@capsys the high level is not for emulsion but to thick the product and even 23 % is not enough to give high fixation and thickness for product.

@Soexcited exactly .

Professional Chemist / FormulatorFebruary 1, 2019 at 9:43 pm in reply to: how to use polyethlene wax in formula ?@basketsheva it depends on formulation but if you will use only et wax 1% will be very low level for good emulsion.
-
@Perry in hair wax you can not have good viscosity at level lower then 25% ceteareth 25 i already try it from 15 % to 30 % so 25 % is the minimum level to have acceptable fixation and viscosity.
-
@Perry in update i make it without pvp however flake persist.
@Chemist77 i will try it when i find Dimethicone and tell you about resultats , i will use silicone at 2 % level. -

Professional Chemist / FormulatorFebruary 1, 2019 at 8:47 am in reply to: Hair Styling Cream@cossci21 actually it is lovely making hair cream styling but it needs work .
so about your formulation i have two advices the first that the level of pvp is too high so try to reduce it then try to increase solid level of your formulation ( waxes , fatty alcools or acids , butter..) -
Update
@Chemist77 @Dirtnap1 (just i insist that flake in my product is invisible you can see it only if you remove hair after product drying) , so using product without pvp gives as normal a lower fixation and lower flake but flaking problem by removing hair after product drying is not solved at all … so it is clear that is not only pvp cause flake in my case . I’am thinking about input that improve flaking effect not by eliminating it but by making it invisible (transparent)
may be silicone can do it ?? -
@Chemist77 @Dirtnap1 thanks a lot for your help i already make same formulation without pvp i will try it in my hair and tell you the resultats.
-
@Dirtnap1 i don’t think that from pvp cause for same level in hair gel there is no flake then for sure it is from ceteareth 25 .
