    @Chemist77 @Doreen  actually elegance gel have great viscosity that soo difficult to reach it with only carbomer same for few other gels the commun point is they are all containing : castor oil or peg 40 castor oil.

    @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 .

    @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.

    @enzinhoo try silicones or C12-15 alkylbenzoate but may it will decrease the transperency of gel.

    @Chemist77 about carbomer’s stability with polyquaternium actually i find source wich prove that with only 0,5 % of carbomer we can add 2% of polyquaternium 46 unfortently i can not have this type  of polyquaternium however i look forward to make such product … @ngarayeva001 that may can be interesting to you “hair gel with polyquaternium” actually it is one of my dream future product…

    @ted  IPM and C12-15 alkyl benzoate can do a good job for reducing greasy effect.

    @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.

    @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 ??

    @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  .

    @Gunther thanks about stability there is no problem according to my reserchement however i’am not sure from flaking effect of stearic acid but for sure product must not make flaking.
