4. INTRODUCTION
Hair conditioners are viscous liquid that is applied to the hair &
usually used after washing the hair with shampoo.
➢ Conditioners are based on cationic detergency &fatty
Material like lanolin (or) mineral oil.
➢ It is designed to restore hair to its natural state.
➢ it has the ability to repair damaged hair by providing shiny look
to the hair fiber.
➢ Hair conditioners restores the texture & appearance of the rough
& harsh hair.
➢ Hair conditioners are used to render the hair shiny ,easy to comb &
free from dryness.

5. PURPOSE OF CONDITIONERS
❖ Restore moisture is one of the main important purpose.
❖ Hair should be manageable after wash.
❖ Its vital role is to be smoothing the hair follicles.
❖ It should maintain the pH of the hair.

8. 1.PACK CONDIONERS
➢ It is heavy & thick.
➢ A high content of surfactant it is able to bind the hair structure and
give the hair surface scale together and tend to form thicker layer on
the hair surface.
➢ These are usually applied to the hair for a longer time.

9. 2.LEAVE IN CONDITIONERS
➢ They are thinner and have different surfactants.
➢ It is lighter and less viscous mixture and provide a significantly
thinner layer on the hair.
➢ This is designed to be used in a similar way to hair oil preventing
tangling of hair and keeps it smooth.

10. 3.ORDINARY CONDITINERS
➢ It combines some aspects of both packs and leave in ones.
➢ These are generally applied the use of shampoo.
➢ Further it can be characterized into three major types.
i. MOISTURIZER.
ii. RECONSTRUCTURES.
iii. DETANGLERS.

11. 1.MOISTURIZERS
❖ These are organic solvents concentrated with Humectants.
❖ Humectants is to retain the moisture into the hair.
❖ This conditioners may not contain protein.
2.RECONSTRUCTURES
❖ It contain protein for Hydrolization.
❖ Human hair keratin has a low molecular weight (mw).
❖ This protein penetrates the hair shaft and give a shiny hair.
3.DETANGLERS
❖ These are acidifiers & have low pH.
❖ The function is to close the cuticle of the
❖ hair which cause tangles.

12. INGRIDIENTS:

13. 1.SURFACTANTS:
➢ There is a use of cationic surfactants like cetyltrimethyl ammonium
chloride.
➢ Longer chain alkylcompounds are the best conditioning properties.
➢ In small amounts, quaternary ammonium derivatives improve
manageability , prevent fly away by neutralization negative charges in
the scalp.
➢ A wide variety of others cationic surfactants have been proposed &
introduced into conditioners.

14. 3.PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY HYDROLYZED
PROTIENS
❖ They are mainly used to protect , enrich or repair hair fiber.
❖ They are hydrolysates of collagen , keratin & milk casein..
❖ A cream rinse formulation containing 5% hydrolyzed animal protein
has been shown to repair 50% of split ends reverses 25% for the same
rinse without protein.

15. 3.OILY MATERIALS
➢ It is used to improve hair condition.
➢ Oily materials have been used to supply lubrication & luster.
➢ They help to reduce fiber friction & the abrasive effects of handling
& they improve the condition of hair.
➢ Silicon oil are often used.
➢ Lanolin derivatives are highly praised & used for emollient qualities .
➢ Hydroxylated & acetylated lanolin & lanolin ester ,

16. 4.GLOSSERS :
➢ They are light reflecting chemicals which bind to the hair surface.
➢ Usually polymers , silicones .Eg; Dimethicone (or) Cyclomethicone.
5.SUNSCREENINGAGENTS:
❖ It is added for the protection against proteins degrading & color loss.
❖ BENZOPHENONE -4 - ETHYL HEXYL METHOXY-
CINNAMATE are the two agents used in hair products.
❖ The common sunscreen used on skin are rarely used for hair products
due to their texture & weight effect.

17. 6.HUMECTANTS
❖ Humectant is a hygroscopic substance which is used to prevent the
dryness of the product.
❖ A variety of humectants are used are polyols , sod. pyrrolidone
carboxylate are used.
❖ Others are glycerol . p.g.
7.THICKNERS
❖ Cellulose derivatives are used as thickener agent.
❖ Carbomers are rarely encountered because of their incompatibility with
most cations.
❖ Eg. sodium chloride

21.  Melt the cetyl alcohol in a jacketed side vessel.
 Heat to 70-750C. When both phases are at 70-75°C.
 Add the oil phase to the water phase with homogenization to
form an emulsion.
 When the emulsion has formed, commence cooling to 4O°C
with paddle stirring only.
 Add Preservatives and fragnance.
 Adjust pH and viscocity.

22. Stability testing of hair conditioner:The stability in accelerated conditionsof
sample was assessed using
 heating and cooling method (45° C, 24 hrs and 4° C, 24 hrs for 6 cycles) as
shown in Figure 1. The
 physical and chemical stability such as appearance, texture, color, odor,
viscosity, pH and phase
 separation were observed. The evaluation of physical and chemical propertiesof
sample was performed in Triplicat.
 The appearance, odorand separation were evaluated by visual method. The
viscosity was
 evaluated using a Brookfield viscometer (MLVT115, USA). The pH was
evaluated using a pH meter (ph 700, German).
 The colorof sample was investigated by colormeasurement (Miniscan EZ,
USA).
