    @indieformulator Perhaps you feel that because of the amount of waxes you have. Try replacing some by some of your fatty alcohol.

    Thank you, youre saying I should decrease a wax and add more of the fatty alcohol?

    Is this a solid? It looks like it would be solid. Also, what is Hairfix? That is not any kind of INCI listed ingredient that I know of.

    Perhaps it might help to have some kind of surfactant/emulsifier in there (e.g. behentrimonium methosulfate, glyceryl stearate or cetrmionium choride). It’s hard to say.

    Hi, its more of a clay pomade so its not as solid as a straight up wax would be. my apologies on the hairfix, It is Hairfix XH Maltodextrin. Its a plant based polymer. The Behenyl Creammaker is listed as an emulsifier. It consists of behenyl alcohol and polyglyceryl-3 stearate. Should I maybe use more of this then? Thank you so much!
