So store bought pectin should be fine to use?

Perry you are spot on. I use polyquat 7 at about 7% as a thicker(i love the moisturzing effects that it has on afro hair). It takes anywhere from about 6-7 days for my shampoo to settle. I figured it was polyquat. but wasent sure.

Thanks 

7% Polyquaternium 7? Whoa! That seems extreme! I love poly 7 as well but even at 2-3% it has a huge impact on the product’s viscosity…do you find it makes the product difficult to apply with this amount of poly 7? Just curious

Hello Abie, I actually ended up going down to 5% to decrease the settle time(still gives that nice richness)

To answer your question no it doesnt make the shampoo difficult to apply. It gives off that nice rich lather without being too thick and it doesnt strip the hair. I would assume its because this is the only thickning agent that i use in my Shampoo. I tried to go down to 2-3% as it was not effective enough(not enough thickness/richness).
