This document discusses various problems and solutions related to hair care product formulations and manufacturing. It covers topics like shampoo thickeners and foam stabilizers, conditioners, permanent waving, and more. Some key points include:
- Electrolytes, alkalonamides, and polymeric materials are commonly used as shampoo thickeners and foam stabilizers. The amount and type of electrolyte affects viscosity and micelle properties.
- Conditioners aim to counteract the negative charge left by anionic shampoo surfactants with cationic surfactants. Conditioning depends on surfactant chain length and charge density.
- Permanent waving effectiveness depends on processing time and temperature, reducing agent concentration
