Because of the high alkalinity of relaxer systems, it is important that the emulsion be of high viscosity so that the cream does not drip or run during application. What is more important is the rheology of the relaxer, meaning how it behaves on application. While emulsion stability is clearly vital to any system, over-stability can be a detriment, especially in the case of relaxers. Emulsions that are too stable do not experience a decrease in viscosity upon shear and produce overly stiff relaxer creams that are unyielding on application. Our Crodafos CES phosphate-based emulsifying system displays shear thinning during relaxer manufacture and produces thixotropic emulsions that break on application, enabling the relaxer to enhance oil deposition on the hair and reduce the damage sustained by the cuticle. Milling the emulsion is also critical to establish the final viscosity of the system. More importantly, milling uniformly distributes the actives, reduces the particle size of the em
If you are looking for the perfect hair care product, choose one that does not dry your hair. If you can’t comb your hair after shampooing with minimal tangles … your shampoos are too dry. Conditioner is more suitable for the ends of your hair if you have split ends. Many girls face split ends. I have found great tips that are effective for hair breakage treatment if you find that they are not working, talk to your stylist … believe it or not, they know what they are talking about.
