    @ngarayeva001 parabens will be sure cause already i see industriel clay using as preservative parabens . however i will try to make it with cathon CG cause i find it more secure.

    @gnomebeard i don’t think adding Kaolin clay is a good idea in hair pomade because it will make residu and dry hair.
    @BeardlyGentlemen have you improve your product?

    @Sanek if you use distilled water you will not need to use EDTA cause % of minerals are soo reduced .

    @Gunther thanks for your proposition , so oil are not soluble in silicone if i understood you? and i want to know what do you think about articels wich said that using silicone close the fiber of hair so silicone is harmfull for hair.

    @Dirtnap1 may be it can make shining effect if you can make your experience and tell us.

    @Perry EO can be used in pharmaceutical shampoo where we can use Lavander, Romarin, Lemon , Lemongrass…and others depend on desired effect , and can be diluted in vegetable oil and used in Massage oil also EO can be used in expensive perfume where we can find them as top note , middel or base one . “I made my end study project about lemon EO extraction so if you want more details you are welcome”.
    @ngarayeva001 about difference it is absoletly normal thing cause it depends on extraction method also theire are a lot type of lavender so it depends also on plant type .

    @BeardlyGentlemen propylene glycol can improve preservation but it is not classified as preservative. You can use Cathon-CG as preservative.

    @BeardlyGentlemen  for improve fixation you can increase the % of pvp  , propylene glycol is not preservative and finally you can increase the matte effect by decreasing the % of glycerine and propylene glycol.

    @Perry you have right about what you said however vegetable oil is for sure more healthy for hair.
    @ngarayeva001 thanks for sharing your experience actually i find in researchement that type of product can be good for hair however the experience is the best proof and i think about olive oil ” my country is one from top three in world olive production also our Prophet Mohammed adviced us to use it in hair” . About sucragel i find it expensive also it is almost not available in my country that is why i want to be sure from product before buying it.

    September 30, 2018 at 9:04 pm in reply to: Should I dilute sulfonic acid before neutralizing it with Sodium hydroxide ?

    @Gunther it depends on the concentration of your actives , from my experiences when LABSA is used the optimum % of NaCl for maximum of viscosity will be between 1.5 and 2.
     for the Clarity reducing % of LABSA will increase the Clarity.

    @Belassi the using of saccharose syrup or glucose is not Random cause they are already used espacially glycose to make no irritant surfactant as decyl glycoside.
    So about developping your idea of protein we can think about some proteines powder?
