HAIR RELAXER
Requirements
Mixers/Big pot
Hydrometer
Stirrer
PH meter
Heater
Chemicals Used In Producing Hair Relaxer
Stearic Acid …………………………. 50 grams
Petroleum jelly …………………….. 15 kg
Lanolin ………………………………… 2 kg
Acetyl Alcohol ………………………. 1.5 kg
Mineral Oil …………………………… 12 kg
Caustic soda …………………………. 2 kg
De-hydrated wax ………………….. 50 kg
Glycerin or propylene glycol ….. 1 kg
Butyl Paraben ………………………. 0.2 kg
Water ………………………………….. 4.5 liters
Formalin ……………………………… 1/8 liters
Procedure
Step 1: Set the mixer on the heater and turn it on
Step 2: Put the petroleum jelly into the mixer
Step 3: Add lanolin to it
Step 4: Then add dehydrated wax, Stearic acid, and acetyl alcohol into the mixture
Step 5: Add the mineral oil and heat mildly till they all dissolve and mixed uniformly
Step 6: Dissolve the caustic soda with a little quantity of water in a small mixer and divide it into
two portions
Step 7: Also dissolve the propylene glycol and butyl Paraben together in another separate small
mixer
Step 8: Also dissolve the formalin in small quantity of water
Step 9: Add one portion of the caustic soda solution into the propylene glycol and butyl Paraben
and start heating mildly, until they have dissolved completely. Allow cooling.
Step 10: Mix the mixture from 5 and 9 together and stir, and start heating mildly, continue
stirring gently
Step 11: When the temperature gets to 45 0C, turn off the heater and pour in the dissolved
formalin
Step 12: Add the remaining half of caustic soda solution to the mixture and stir gently
Step 13: When the mixture cools down to room temperature, package ready for the market
NB: the reason why most relaxers are very corrosive is because of the caustic soda. If you test your product and find out that it is very corrosive on the scalp, do not fret. What you need to do in order to avoid that in your produce is to soak the caustic soda solution for 24 hours before using it. That will help reduce the corrosive tendency
