Teach Soap

There are, it appears, people who find that when they use a normal shampoo their hair gets all tangled up. Curly hair type.
I've been unable to get detangling ingredients to work properly in shampoo so far (though conditioner was easy enough, works fine).
So, I am experimenting with a cationic shampoo design. Difficult because most surfactants are anionic and incompatible with quats.
I have an experimental one so far made from two different betaines plus quaternium-10. I'll comment again regarding its success or failure.

Looking forward to the results of your experiment.

So far so good. My wife tried it and liked it; I tried it and found it was plenty foamy, nice feel, non irritant - very kind to the eyes. Left the hair soft-feeling. But the real test is when my daughter tries it.
For instance, from time to time I buy really expensive products to use as benchmarks against my own. A couple of weeks ago I bought a sulphate-free shampoo that cost about $20 for just 250mL. It uses unusual surfactants - the solid ones (SCI, SLSa), and DLS mild. I tried it and thought it was absolutely fabulous! Terrific foam, creamy lather, lovely 'cushioned' hand feel. So I later on gave it to my daughter, who promptly gave it back, with the words 'this shampoo is crap, dad.' Apparently her hair got all tangled into knots.
