Most of the hair creams in the market are too harsh to the hair and scalp, causing scalding when used. I will show you how to avoid that pitfall, business.
Requirements
- Mixers/Big pot
- Hydrometer
- Stirrer
- PH meter
- Heater
Chemicals Used In Producing Hair Relaxer
- Stearic Acid …………………………. 50 grams
- Petroleum jelly …………………….. 15 kg
- Lanolin ………………………………… 2 kg
- Acetyl Alcohol ………………………. 1.5 kg
- Mineral Oil …………………………… 12 kg

- De-hydrated wax ………………….. 50 kg
- Glycerin or propylene glycol ….. 1 kg

- Water ………………………………….. 4.5 liters
- Formalin ……………………………… 1/8 liters
Procedure
Step 1: Set the mixer on the heater and turn it on
Step 2: Put the petroleum jelly into the mixer
Step 3: Add lanolin to it
Step 4: Then add dehydrated wax, Stearic acid, and acetyl alcohol into the mixture
Step 5: Add the mineral oil and heat mildly till they all dissolve and mixed uniformly
Step 6: Dissolve the caustic soda with a little quantity of water in a small mixer and divide it into
two portions
Step 7: Also dissolve the propylene glycol and butyl Paraben together in another separate small
mixer
Step 8: Also dissolve the formalin in small quantity of water
Step 9: Add one portion of the caustic soda solution into the propylene glycol and butyl Paraben
and start heating mildly, until they have dissolved completely. Allow cooling.
Step 10: Mix the mixture from 5 and 9 together and stir, and start heating mildly, continue
stirring gently
Step 11: When the temperature gets to 45 0C, turn off the heater and pour in the dissolved
formalin
Step 12: Add the remaining half of caustic soda solution to the mixture and stir gently

NB: the reason why most relaxers are very corrosive is because of the caustic soda. If you test your product and find out that it is very corrosive on the scalp, do not fret. What you need to do in order to avoid that in your produce is to soak the caustic soda solution for 24 hours before using it. That will help reduce the corrosive tendency. This little secret is worth millions in cash as it will give your product a tremendous boost and leap in the market.

I think this tutorial was comprehensive enough; as I have answered the questions on water. However, if you want to be professionally trained, or need further training you can contact me on +2348060023272. Thanks
Please can you answer where we should add the 4.5lit of water to the production?
Thanks for the information. We appreciate. But please explain us when and how the 4.5 litres of water come in the preparation. You’ve just mentioned in the list of ingredients but no where it is involved in the preparation. Would you please explain this?

Sir I made a relaxer followed d procedures you listed, but my relaxer never relaxed until about 2 hours, plus sir what is the cause of it. And what chemical can I add to produce hair relaxer that darkens like Ebony. Thanks
I don’t know why you are getting this result, because we don’t have such issue here. However, I suggest you change your chemical store.
Thanks a lot for the information
but how do you gauge the caustic soda solution with hydrometer,
God bless you real good
@Tarry, Amen!
Pls how much do i need to get before I can get the items to start production
@Stella, you can start with anything above 20,000. Thanks for visiting earnbase
45 litres of water is no. 10 in the above list of required ingredients for producing hair relaxer.
@Moses, thanks for this. Honestly, the liters involved was 4.5litres and not 45litres as you have it there. It is just the water needed to do the mixing and nothing more. I will edit the post accordingly.
What is dehydrated wax ? what is the diference between solid wax and dehydrated wax?.
My name is jummy, Thank for formular, how many litre of water can i add to 2kg of caustic soda before use.
thank you for the good information about making this hair relaxer. My question is at what stage do we mix with the 45 litres of water.?
@Moses, 45liters of water? Where did you see that?
@Moses, thank for pointing this out. The 45 liters was actually 4.5 liters and NOT 45 liters.
This is a great and interesting tutorial.
Thanks so much for showing to us how things work on hair relaxer.
My question is this: when does the water listed in the ingredient comes in? Because during the composition and preparation there is no place where water is mentioned, or will the water come come last?
@Smart, thank for pointing this out. The 45 liters was actually 4.5 liters and NOT 45 liters.
