2. Hardness measurements also give unexpectedly large values
3. Equally large values for the mechanical moduli
4. Strong thermal effects are met
5. Magnitude of the volume swelling of hair in water
6. Hair has a high electrical resistivity and fairly lowdielectri
constant
7. Refractive index of hair is high
PRODUCTS
Various constraints were imposed on hair-care product formulators
during the 1990s. These can be divided into two categories: performance-
related, environmental, and a growing concern for health hazards:

HAIRSPRAYS
●PACKAGING:
-AEROSOL
-NON-AEROSOL
●AEROSOL SPRAY- CONVENTIONALLY
FORMULATED TO PROVIDE VARIOUS
STRENGTHS OF HOLD FROM NORMAL TO
MAXIMUM.
●PARTS:
-PROPELLANT - PROVIDES PRESSURE
-VALVE
-ACTUATORS
THE AEROSOL HAIRSPRAY SHOULD BE HAIRSPRAYS
HELD AT A DISTANCE OF APPROX.
20CM FROM HAIR TO ALLOW
SATISFACTORY EVEN COVERAGE.
WHEN THE DROPLETS ARRIVE ON THE
HAIR MOST OF THE PROPELLANT HAS
BEEN LOST THROUGH EVAPORATION.
IF THEY ARE NOT SPREAD EFFICIENTLY
THEY WILL BIND ADJACENT HAIR
FIBRES BY 'BEADS' OF POLYMER.
THE FORMER EFFECT IS KNOWN AS
'SPOT WELDING' AND THE LATTER AS
'SEAM WELDING'
IDEAL HAIRSPRAY: HAIRSPRAYS
1. HAS A RELATIVELY FINE SPRAY
2. IT SHOULD GIVE WHOLE-HEAD
COVERAGE QUICKLY, THUS THE SPRAY
PATTERN SHOULD BE WIDE-ANGLED.
3. DRYING TIME SHOULD BE RELATIVELY
RAPID.
4. THE DRIED SPRAY SHOULD NOT BE
TACKY ON THE HAIR, NOR SHOULD IT
BECOME TACKY WITH EXPOSURE TO
HIGH HUMIDITY.
5. IT SHOULD BE EASILY REMOVABLE BY
BRUSHING OR SHAMPOOING.
HAIRSPRAYS
HAIRSPRAY FORMULATIONS
●CONTAIN A HAIR-CONTROL POLYMER WHICH IS NEUTRALIZED WITH AN
AMINO ALCOHOL, AMP, TO ENSURE THAT THE SPRAY RESIDUES CAN BE
REMOVED MORE EASILY DURING SHAMPOOING.
●DIMETHICONE COPOLYOL
● THE MAIN DISADVANTAGE OF THE PUMP-DRIVEN PRODUCT IS THAT A
COARSER, WETTER SPRAY IS PRODUCED.
● DME (DIMETHYL ETHER) IS A MORE POLAR PROPELLANT THAN THE
HYDROCARBONS, AND CAN BE USED WITH AQUEOUS-BASED FORMULA.
● IF DME IS TO HAVE CONSIDERATION IN A HAIRSPRAY CONTEXT, THEN
THE CHOSEN RESIN MUST ALSO BE COMPATIBLE WITH WATER.
MANUFACTURE
1. THE ALCOHOL IS ADDED TO THE MIXING VESSEL.
2.THE RESIN IS ADDED TO THE ALCOHOL AND MIXED
UNTIL ALL THE SOLID HAS DISSOLVED.
3.THE NEUTRALIZER IS ADDED TO THE MIXING VESSEL
AND MIXED FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES.
4. DIMETHICONE COPOLYOL, PERFUME AND ANY
OTHER ADDITIVES ARE ADDED AND MIXED UNTIL THE
PRODUCT IS HOMOGENEOUS AND CLEAR.
