What is the main ingredient in traditional waving lotion?

Karaya gum
Lanolin
Mango seed extract
Shea butter

The correct answer is: Karaya gum

Some may believe that shea butter, lanolin, or mango seed extract are the main ingredients in traditional waving lotion but they are not. While shea butter and lanolin are commonly used in hair and skincare products for their moisturizing properties, they are not typically associated with waving lotion. Mango seed extract may also be found in some hair products, but it is not a common ingredient in traditional waving lotion. Karaya gum, on the other hand, is a plant-based ingredient that is often used in hair products to provide hold and texture. It is the main ingredient in traditional waving lotion and is the most suitable for creating and maintaining waves in hair.
