@chemicalmatt @Perry @Gunther have an advice ?

[Fekher]

@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..)

[Fekher]

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.

[Fekher]

@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  .

[Fekher]

@Chemist77 have you tried the formulation with carbomer?

[Fekher]

@Dirtnap1 thanks for your intersting idea however it will be as final step using bee wax for economical reasons .

[Fekher]

@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.

[Fekher]

what about increasing level of petrolatum ?  @Perry  @ajw000

[Fekher]

@Marynicole  i guess it  is from the best adequat polyquaternium for your product  called polyquaternium 87 ( luviquat sensation).

[Fekher]

@gunther for IPM i think that it is used for better solublisation of dimethicone also in general IPM can used to reduce the greasy effect of product.

[Fekher]

@Perry i read in your article that Dimethiconol is water soluble and other silicones are not so at final solution wich is better and adequat for my formulation dimethicone or dimethiconol?

[Fekher]

@Chemist77 carbomer in product gives better texture it will be easier in application then free carbomer .
Thanks @Gunther  & @khoikhoa  for  help . 

[Fekher]

Thanks @Perry for your intersting solution.

@Perry
the formula is
 ceteareth 25 : 25 %
 Carbomer : 1%
TEA : 1,5 %
pvp : 4 %
perfume : 0,4  % 
Preservative : 0,1 % 
Water : QSP.
Acoording to you wich is the best adequat silicone and wich is the lowest level can be used to rech disered shining effect.

@Aldyppratama take a look

[Fekher]

@TimMcG stearic acid with coco fatty acid sapofined with combination Koh and NaOh can give verry good shaving soap.

[Fekher]

@ted take a look

[Fekher]

@ted take a look for discussion made for hair pomade 

[Fekher]

try Koh it will give sometging near in Texture to TEA.

@Doreen thanks for your kind help.

[Fekher]

what fixative do you use ? and actually glycerine and Dpg are not necessary if you are using good fixative

[Fekher]

thanks all for answer but @Doreen actually desired product is not founded it is about hair powder for who suffer from hair loss it gives a great volume for hair to cover  loss hair as example hair cubed so such product me and @Aldyppratama look for.

[Fekher]

@perry @ngarayeva001 @Gunther have you an idea about this product i did not find any good formulation or research about it , waiting your interesting help.

[Fekher]

@jamsinekhatri  i guess that polysorbate 80 can be used in floor cleaner cause it helps in cleaning oils .
