"Will this cause product build up in hair over time like silicons do, or is it water soluble? Trying to stay with curly girl method approved formulations. Also is there a cetyl alcohol-like product that could be recommended? I'm not finding a listing on the site and not sure if there is an available alternative. Thank you. " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Ashley   |   May 07, 2019 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer These LuxGlide products are not water soluble but they are a light and non-greasy oil. We cannot say for sure if they would cause build-up over time. We do not, at this time, have a cetyl alcohol-like product as an alternative.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: May 08, 2019 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
