Hair straightener help
I make a hair straightener formula with the following
5% lanette O
5% lanette 16
5% dehyquart A
5% petrolatum ( I use Vaseline instead of it)
2% paraffine oil
1.5% NaOH
I don’t agree with this anywhy because it dry the hair after using it
How can I improve this formula to be good and make the hair more moisture and more straightener
## the formula make the hair straightener about 80% and 0% moisture -

Your formula only adds up to 23.5%. What’s in the other 76.5%?
-
Petrolatum is vaseline.

@Perry the other is water sorry I forget it thanks my friend so what can I modify in this formula
@Doreen thanks for your comment I didn’t know this -
@Chemist_Ahmed
No problem, you’re welcome! :+1: -
@Doreen thanks
Now do you have any suggestion for improve this formula -
1,5% NaOH seems like an awful lot. Have you checked the pH? Do you use NaOH in powder form, or a dilution?
10% of fatty alcohols also seem a lot to me.
You don’t use preservatives? -
@Chemist77

@Doreen thanks Friend
NaOH is diluted solution and I know the that pH is above 7 and this increase the straighte for hair
and fatty alcohols I seem it is not a lot and I want to increase it a little or increase the petrolatums or add pq7 or citol HE or any equivalent compound
What’s your suggests -
You mean the pH of your NaOH dilution or your product is above 7? Have you measured it exactly?
And what are your preservatives? -
@Doreen think it is a lye based hair straightener and so the pH is on a much higher side.
@Chemist_Ahmed have you tried increasing the oil phase in increments like 10%, 15% and so on and so forth.
This is an extremely common recipe and if you search google properly, I am sure you will have success. -
@Doreen I focusing on the result and its just a sample so I didn’t use preservative
The pH of the product is around 9
@Chemist77 do you mean increase paraffin oil or what
And I search every where and I didn’t reach to anything
Can you put some links that I can read it please
Thanks all my friends -
