It is now easier to make cosmetic and other homemade
materials and make money from it. Yes you heard me I say easier than it is. Now
look around you, how many home made materials can you manufacture/produce or
can you produce a very good body cream, hair cream, balm, etc or
maybe you are not interested in making of cosmetics, can you make something on
your own, something that you spend so much money buying when you can learn to
make them in a very short time. Can you make your own snack? I do not mean
those high assorted snack, what I mean is something very easy to learn and
master. In our previous post you will learn so much about how to make your own
stuff, whether you want it for personal use or you decide to be a full time
manufacturer of those products. Check out some of our grate post and be sure to
learn more from them.
In my last post (make
your own hair conditioner with these 5 easy steps) you will learn how to make
your own hair conditioner. In this post, you will learn the easy ways of making
hair relaxer.
Now what is hair
relaxer? This is a formulation
design to soften the hair enabling it for easy styling, just as the name
implies it relaxes both tough and stubborn hairs. You will need thermometer to
monitor the temperature during your manufacturing process. Check out our
previous to learn more about the necessary apparatus for the production of
cosmetics.
Let us take a look at some of the apparatus needed for the
production of cosmetic
1.
Heater
2.
Boiler
3.
Container
4.
Mixer
5.
Thermometer (for relaxer production)
6.
Hydrometer (shampoo production)
These are the most common apparatus for the making of most
cosmetics. You can learn more about the common apparatus and chemicals for the
production of most cosmetics in this post become a manufacturer today.
Let us now look at the formulation needed in the production
of hair relaxer.
FORMULATION
s/no
|
Chemicals
|
Measurement
|
1.
|
Caustic soda
|
1.9 kg
|
2.
|
Lanolin
|
2.2 kg
|
3.
|
Petroleum jelly
|
15.0 kg
|
4.
|
Acetyl alcohol
|
1.5 kg
|
5.
|
Stearic acid
|
50 g

6.
|
Mineral oil
|
12 kg
|
7.
|
Dehydrated wax
|
50 g
|
8.
|
Glycerin or paraben glycol
|
1.5 kg
|
9.
|
Butyl paraben
|
0.20 kg
|
10.
|
Deionozed water
|
44 kg
|
NOTE: All the
above chemicals are subjected to multiplication or division, provided that it
is done with a constant factor (50 kg Stearic acid of ÷ 2 = 25 g and 44 kg of Deionozed
water ÷
2 = 22 kg) I believe you get that. Like a said before this is the most
important aspect of manufacturing/production once you get this wrong you will
not produce a good quality hair relaxer or any other product you want
to produce. So always make sure to take extra time in the study and application
of the right formulation in your production process no matter how small what
you want to produce may be.
So now that you know the formulation needed in the
production of hair relaxer, let us
now go into main production. But before we proceed, I would like you to go over
the formulation again and get it into your head.
VERY IMPORTANT: Most of these chemicals are gotten easily form
a very good chemical shop or company. But ensure to buy the original as a fake
chemical will not only give you a very poor quality product but may be harmful
in the production process.
METHOD:
I will make the process as easy as possible so be rest
assured that by the time you finish this post you and follow these simple steps
you will have made your own hair relaxer.
But there is one thing I always tell my students and my reader, if you want to
learn in any field of study form medicine to engineering to manufacturing you
must have one major quality. If you don’t have it you will end up not reaching
your goal or target. As a manufacturer you must learn to be very patient when
producing especially when you are dealing with chemical. Now let us take it
step by step…
1.
Measure out all the oil soluble chemicals
(petroleum jelly (15.0 kg), lanolin (2.2 kg), acetyl alcohol (1.5 kg),
dehydrated wax (50 g), stearic acid (50 g) and mineral oil 12 kg ()) add them
in a mixer which can be a big pot and dissolve all the chemical with a mild
heat for homogeneity
2.
Now measure out the water soluble chemicals e.g
NAOH and propylene glycerol, dissolve each with little quantity of water, keep ½(half) of the NAOH
solution aside, add the other ½ to the P.G (propylene glycerol) solution and heat mildly for
evenly dissolution allow it to cool.
3.
Dissolve little quantity of any good
preservative with some of the measured wafer
4.
Add sample in 1 and 2 above together in a bowl
stir gently and pour in the dissolved preservative, get the temperature of the
mixture to 46 degrees, checking with a thermometer
5.
Add the remaining NAOH solution gradually and
stir gently
6.
When the temperature returns to room
temperature, pour the finished relaxer into your containers and packing for
sale.
You have just made your own hair relaxer. Now tell me
don’t you think it was harder? I bet you did but now that you know how easy it
is to make your own hair relaxer I
believe you aren’t going to spend more money buying instead of making.
TIPS: if you are interested in marketing your product, it is
very necessary to use attractive container for the packaging of your product so
as to increase your sales.
PS. Whether you choose to sell your product or you just
want it for personal use, make sure you are using original chemical and always
use protective in your manufacturing/production process.
PPS. Please ensure to do all your registration with the
right agencies in your prospective country of your manufacturing business and
also do all your
production/manufacturing in a clean and well ventilated environment.
(This will increase the chances of the approval of your products)
Now take a good look at the money you have wasted buying hair relaxer and the money you will
save in the next few months. You may have just bought a few chemicals to learn
how to make your own hair relaxer
which is a very wise thing to do but if you want to make money with this, then
you have to go back get more chemicals and start manufacturing and selling your
products.

you to the grave, if it’s important to you and you want to do it eventually,
just do it and correct course along” (Tim
Ferris).
