Hair cosmetics include tonics, oils, removers, colorants, and shaving preparations. Hair tonics contain alcohol, glycerin, vitamins, and stimulants like capsicum. Hair conditioners moisturize and reconstruct hair using proteins, oils, and cationic surfactants. Hair removers are depilatories containing sulphides or thioglycolates, or epilatories involving plucking. Hair dyes are temporary, semi-permanent containing nitro compounds, or permanent using vegetable or metal salts. Shaving preparations lubricate before and soothe skin after shaving with talc, alcohol, and antiseptics.

4. HAIR TONICS
• For Oily Scalps: To correct the oily
condition……
• For Dry scalps: to supplement oily
character…..

5. Ingredients
• Industrial methylated spirit diluted with water : common
vehicle.
• 10-95% alcohol act as a solvent for the removal of fatty
acid – protein complex from the hair.
• 2-5% glycerin : emollient and lubricating effect and act
as a co solvent.

6. • Rubifacient drugs to stimulate hair growth.
Eg: cantharides, pilocarpine, quinine, ammonia, rosemary
oil…
• Vitamins like Vit F, VitK , biotin, pantothenic acid
protein hydrolisation pdt and nucleic acid.
• Anti dandruff material like sulphur, cationic
surfactants,selinium and cadmium sulphide etc.

7. 1. Resorcinol :
• Power full antiseptic property .
• Less than 1% is used in hair tonics..
• Large dose is toxic due to the production of
methamoglobin.
2. Beta naphthol:
• Powerful antiseptic (0.1%)
• Slightly soluble in water, boric acid increases its
solubility.

8. 3. Quinine :Keep the scalps sterile and stimulate it by
friction.
4. Capsicum:
• Tincture of capsicum is used.
5. Cantharides:
• Irritating stimulant properties on the scalps.
6.Vitamins and unsaturated acid:
• Used in conjugation for their hair growing property.

9. Hair conditioner
• Hair conditioner alter the texture and appearance of human
hair and to improve damaged hair.
• Used after shampoo, to render the hair shinier, easy to comb,
and free from static electricity when dry.
• Conditioners are usually based on cationic detergents and
fatty materials like lanolin or mineral oil.

10. Ingredients
1. Moisturizers.
• Whose role is to hold moisture in the hair. Usually these
contain high proportions of humectants.
2. Re constructors.
• Usually containing hydrolyzed protein.
• Their role is to penetrate the hair and strengthen its structure
through polymer cross linking.
3. Detanglers.
• Which modify the hair surface by pH as acidifiers, and/or by
coating it with polymers, as glossers.

11. 4. Acidifiers.
• Acidity regulators which maintain the conditioner's pH at
about 2.5–3.5
5.Thermal protectors.
• Usually heat-absorbing polymers, shielding the hair against
excessive heat
e.g., blow-drying or curling irons or hot rollers.

12. 6. Surfactants.
• Hair consists of approximately 97% of a protein called keratin, it
contains negatively-charged amino acids
• Hair conditioners therefore usually contain cationic surfactants,
which don't wash out completely, because their hydrophilic ends
strongly bind to keratin.
• The hydrophobic ends of the surfactant molecules then act as the
new hair surface.

13. 7. Oils (EFAs).
Which can help dry/porous hair become more soft and
pliable.
8. Sequestrants.
The scalp produce natural oil called sebum. EFAs are the
closest thing to natural sebum.
9. Lubricants.
Such as fatty alcohols, panthenol, dimethicone, etc for better
function in hard water.

15. Hair oil
• For nourishment and care of hair.
• Either in the form of pure oil or some ingredients are
dissolved in it.

16. In vitro anti microbiological tests

is done for determining stability. done by patch test, either open or occlusive.

17. HAIR REMOVERS
DEPILATORIES EPILATORIES
Mechanical Chemical
For removing unwanted hairs. Several methods
like waxing threading etc…
Other various methods are electrolysis and diathermy.

18. Depilatories
• For degradation of superficial hair
chemically without affecting the skin.
• Act by degrading the hair keratin.
• Contain alkaline solutions and reducing
agents.
• Which cause swelling of hair fiber and
breakdown of cystine bridges between
adjacent polypeptide chains.

19. Formula
1. Strontium sulphide 20g
2. Talc 20g
3. Methyl cellulose 3g
4. Glycerine 15g
5. Water 42g
6. Perfume q.s
7. Preservative q.s

20. Ingredients
1. Inorganic Sulphides :
a) Sodium sulphide: (2%) at pH 12 (not used due to
strong action on skin)
b) Barium sulphide: highly toxic
c) Calcium sulphide: less toxic, less effective.
d) Strontium sulphide: better choice.(25-50%)
action within 3 min.
Disadv: unpleasent odour (formation of hydrogen
sulphide)

21. 2.Thioglycolates :
 Most widely used active ingredient are substituted
mercaptans
 Used in conjugation with alkali
 2.5 – 4% of calcium thioglycolate in conjugn with CaOH at
pH 11-12 take 5-15 min for hair removal.
 Less toxic and less odour than sulphides.
3. Stannites :
 Sodium stannite is commonly used
 In presence of water it produces strong reducing and alkaline
effect

22. 4. Enzymes :
 Keratinase enzyme have depilatory action
 Non irritant and odourless
 3-4%is used and optimum pH is 7-8
5. Other additives :
Humectant : prevent quick drying
Eg: Glycerin, Sorbitol
Thickening Agent: Starch, Methylcellulose, Mucin.

25. HAIR COLORENTS /DYES
• Ideal hair dye should have certain properties……
• Imprtant charecterestic to be considered are,
Molecular size and pH
• Doesn’t permit molecules larger than ethylene glycol.
• Higher pH greater absorption but damage the hair.

26. Common ingredients in hair dyes:
In general, hair dyes include
 DYES
• The dye chemicals are usually amino compounds.
• Metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide and iron oxide, are
often used as pigments.
 MODIFIERS
• They stabilize the dye pigments or otherwise act to modify the
shade.
• One commonly used - resorcinol.

27.  Alkalizers
• Alkalizers are added to change the pH of the dye formula,
because the dyes work best in a highly alkaline composition.
• Ammonium hydroxide is a common alkalizer.
 Antioxidants
• Antioxidants protect the dye from oxidizing with air. Most
commonly used is sodium sulfite.

28.  Ammonia: used to open hair shaft for dye penetration.
 Agents which make the dye more or less permanent.
 Soaps, wetting agents, fragrance, softening agents.

29. Classification
Temporary colorant
Semi- permanent colorant
Permanent colorant
Lightners or Bleaches

30. Temporary Color
These dyes or colorants impart color to the hair for a
short time.
Absorption of the dye stuff takes place only on hair
cuticle not penetrate in to the cortex and medulla.
pH of the solution is adjusted at about 5.

31. Semitransparent Colorants
These colorants give stronger coloration to the hair, and can
withstand up to six to eight shampooing.
Mainly based on basic dye stuff of nitro amino dyes. These are
usually red or yellow.
A mixture anionic and / or non ionic surfactant with a cation
active dye is used to get semitransparent coloring.
Formation of anion cation colour complex.

32. Permanent colorants
• These are either vegetable origin or salts of heavy metals.
• The main ingredients of the formulations are
1. Base: Solution, emulsion , Gel, Powder, Shampoo.
