Question
Regarding a hair styling wax product, based on the previous advice to add Humectant (like Glycerin) or Oil to slow down drying time, how can I achieve a slower drying time while still maintaining the slippery texture?
Answer
Hello,
Regarding your question about making the hair styling wax product dry slower while maintaining slipperiness, and based on the staff's previous advice:
That is correct. According to the staff's recommendation, adding Humectant ingredients (such as glycerin) or adding Oil, or adding both, should help the product dry slower.
- Humectants help attract and retain moisture, giving a moist feel and slowing down the drying time of the product.
- Oil and Emollients (like Esters) provide a slippery feel to the skin, which aligns with your requirement to maintain slipperiness.
Adjusting these ingredient groups should be done gradually with testing to achieve the desired texture and drying time.
