@Bill_Toge I’d be really grateful if you could send an extract about hot-fill styling products. I’m sure that’d be helpful. Thank you.

@Bill_Toge thank you for your insights. I see that hair styling is one of your strongest subjects. Could you please refer some books or reading material on the subject?

Thank you @johnb and @Bobzchemist.

I wasn’t using DEA initially. Then the pH was 5.5. Shampoo wasn’t foaming well,so i added DEA but completely forgot to adjust pH. Thank you for pointing it out.
I’ll sub MEA for the DEA.But this would solve stability issues? -
“Glycol distearate and polyethylene glycol distearate are used as pearlizing agents
either alone or combined with cetanol or oleyl alcohol. Pearl shampoos are prone to
separation and viscosity drops and are difficult to maintain stable. Measures should
be implemented to increase the viscosity and ensure stability, such as adding salt
and selecting appropriate cationic polymers and anionic surfactants. “This is from formulas,ingredients,and production of cosmetics by hiroshi iwata.
And yes, I’ve checked. A lot of shampoos have around 1.5-2.5% of amodimethicone.

Currently, I am using 2% amodimethicone by wt. I’ll make batches with 0 and 1%. Though, I thought that EGDS might be the reason as to why viscosity is decreasing. I read that pearlescent shampoos are prone to this.
And yes 0.25% of fragrance oil. -
0.25 % of fragrance.

Thank you for clearing my doubts.

Kindly refer this topic and tell me if I missed out on something.
