4. INTRODUCTION.
The term “hair tonic” has been used
for some hair preparations because the term is used in
therapeutics. Hair tonic is one kind of hair repairing tonic
and re-texturing the hair.
There are two distinct types of products :-
1. Products those deals with specific problems of the
hair. E.g., greasy hair, dandruff.
2. Those products which are intended for improving,
restoring, & maintaining the condition of the hair.

5. Products
Medicated P. Conditioners

6.  Medicated products :-
The purpose of this products is to cure, to reduce, to
restrain & some abnormality in the function of scalp.
In the past use was often made of irritant, keratolytic,
rubifacient compds.
The recent trend is that the treatment should rather
bring about a return to a normal state & promote
balance.
Medicated products are mainly deal with dandruff,
seborrhea & hair loss.

7.  DANDRUFF
It is an excessive scaling of scalp.
It generally occurs in winter and ease off in summer.
Dandruff has been observed that proliferation of
micro-organism is associate with dandruff.
The micro-organism are mostly found is Pityrosporum
Ovale, a sporulating yeast.

8. The scalp is lush environment for the growth of micro-
organism & high scaling condition.
The compounds are added to anti-dandruff lotion
mostly are:-
1. anti- microbial.
2. keratolytic or exfoliative.
As germicides, QAC (such as benzalkonium
cetyltrimethyl ammonium & cetylpyridinium salts),
chlorophenols, PVP iodine complexes, oxyquinoline
&5,7-Dichloro-8-hydroxyquinoline in particular have
been used.

9. The compds which have gained the dominant position
because of their efficacy are the derivatives of 2-
pyridine-thiol-N-oxide.
As keratolytic ingredients, colloidal Sulphur, resorcinol,
salicylic acid, & selenium di-sulphide have been used.
Coal tar is also known to provide good response.
Anti dandruff products can be simple solution of an
anti microbial agent in a aqueous-alcoholic medium or
a setting rinse composition.

12.  Greasy hair and scalp :-
Seborrhea is an excessive secretion from the
sebaceous glands.
The sebum is also oxidized by aerial oxidation & by the
action of micro-organism present on the scalp.
Greasy hair form bunches & catch dust giving
unaesthetic look.
This may induce a loss of hair, its consequences on the
hair became greasy very quickly after shampooing.
To reduce sebum uptake is to apply an oil repellant
treatment i.e., to deposit lipophobic ingredients.

13. Some hydro-phobic & lipo-phobic per-fluorinated
compds such as (CF3(CF2)x(CH2)y Z.
These substances are used in 70:20 aqueous alcoholic
lotions at concentrations between 0.05 & 0.2%
commercial compounds are fluorad(3 M Co) & Zonad
(du point).
The following formulation has claimed to retard oil
uptake by 85%.

14. A finely divided starches & silica's to keep hair looking
clean for longer periods.
To reduce the secretion or excretion of serum more
selective compounds are added thio-ether or
sulphoxide derivatives of cysteine, cyst-amine,
glutathione, pyridoxine & hydroxylated amino acid.
Some salts such as 2-benzyl-thio ethylamine, act on
lipid synthesis process.
For anti-oxidant based lotion, alkyl gallates, t-butyl
hydroxyanisole to prevent per oxidative
transformation of sebum on hair & scalp.

15.  Hair loss
Hair loss may be more or less profuse, more or less
localized, it may be congenital or acquired.
It may be an acute state or be a transient event
resulting from an effective disturbance, a trauma, an
infectious disease, the effect of some medicines.
Five methods by which hair growth might be increased.

16. 1. Increase of the anagen growth of hair.
2. production of new follicles or more multiple follicles.
3. lengthening of the anagen stage or shortening of
talogen stage.
4. prevention or delay of talogen.
5. initiation of anagen in follicles in the talogen state.
 Hair loss has long been held to linked
to poor irrigation of the scalp & a
number of preparations
recommended as ‘anti-loss’.
 Now, it appears that blood
circulation does not play a role & it
may be preferable to reduce the flow
rate.

25. HAIR CONDITIONER…

26. INTRODUCTION
Hair conditioners are viscous liquid
that is applied to the hair & are usually used after
washing the hair with shampoo.
It is designed to restore hair to its natural state.
It has the ability to repair damage hair by providing
shiny look to the hair fibers.
Hair conditioner restores the texture & appearance of
the rough & harsh hair.

27. Hair conditioner are used to render the hair shiny, easy
to comb & free from dryness.
 Purpose of conditioners :-
Restoring moisture is one of the main important
purpose.
Hair should be manageable after wash.
Its vital role is to be smoothing the hair follicles.
Should maintain the pH of the hair .

28. Functions of

29. TYPES OF CONDITIONERS
Pack
conditioners
Leave in
conditioners
Ordinary
conditioners

30. 1. PACK CONDITIONERS
It is heavy and thick.
A high content of surfactant it is able to bind the hair
structure & glue the hair surface scale together & tend
to form thicker layer on the hair surface.
These are usually applied to the hair for a longer time.

31. 2. Leave in conditioners
They are thinner & have different surfactants.
It is lighter, less viscous mixture & provides a
significantly thinner layer on the hair.
This is designed to be used in a similar way to hair oil
preventing tangling of hair & keeping it smooth.

32. 3. Ordinary conditioners.
It combines some aspects of both packs & leave in
ones.
These are generally applied after the use of shampoo.
Further, it can be characterized into 3 main type :-
1. Moisturizer
2. Re-constructers
3. Detangles

33. 1. Moisturizers
These are organic solvent concentrated with
humectant.
Humectant is to retain the moisture into the hair.
This conditioners may not contain protein.
2. Re-constructers
It contains proteins for hydrolization.
Human hair keratin protein has a low molecular
weight.
This protein penetrates the hair shaft & gives a shiny
hair.

34. 3. Detanglers
These are acidifiers & have low pH.
The function is to close the cuticle of the hair, which
cause tangles.
The protection or shield mechanism is done by
surfactant & polymers.

35. o INGREDIENTS
1. SURFACTANTS :-
• There is a use of cationic surfactant like
Cetyltrimethylammonium chloride.
• Longer chain alkyl compds are the best conditioning
properties.
• In small amounts, quaternary ammonium derivatives
improve manageability, prevent fly away by
neutralization negative charges in the scalp.
• A wide variety of others cationic surfactants have been
proposed & introduced into conditioners.

36. 2. Partially or totally hydrolyzed proteins :-
• They are mainly used to protect, enrich or repair hair
fibers.
• They are hydrolysates of collagen, keratin ichthyocolla
& milk casein.
• A cream rinse formulation containing 5% hydrolyzed
animal protein has been shown to repair 50% of split
ends verses 25% for the same rinse without protein.
• combine elastin & collagen hydrolysates have been
claimed to impart volume & softness to hair.

37. 3. Oily materials :-
 It is used to improve hair condition.
 Oily material have been used to supply lubrication &
luster.
 They help to reduce fiber friction & the abrasive effects
of handling & they improve the condition of hair.
 Silicon oil are often used.
 Lanolin derivatives are highly praised & used for
emollient qualities:- hydroxylated & acetylated lanolin
& lanolin ester, add luster & a pleasant feel.

38. 4. Glossers :-
 They are light reflecting chemicals which bind to the
hair surface.
 Usually polymers, silicones. E.g., Dimethicone or
cyclomethicone.
5. Sun screening agent :-
 It is added for the protection against protein
degradation & color loss.
 Benzophenone-4 ethylhexyl methoxy- cinnamate are
the two agents used in hair products.
 The common sunscreen used on skin are rarely used
for hair products due to their texture & weight effect.

39. 6. Humectant :-
 A variety of humectant are used are polyols, sod.
Pyrrolidone carboxylate are used.
 Others are glycerin, P.G.
 Natural humectant – jojoba oil
7. Thickeners :-
 Cellulose derivatives are used as thickener agent .
 Carbomers are rarely encountered because of their
incompatibility with most cations.
 Eg. Sodium chloride.

40. 8. Bodying agent :-
 For shampoo & conditioners, to be more effective
usually by using quite high levels of fatty alcohols along
with waxy esters.
 By incorporating this agent, it gives improvement in
wet hair condition, as it becomes soft & easy to comb
without breaking hair.
9. Perfumes :-
 It requires low level of perfume.
 Conditioners are fairly easy to perfume, but the
stability of the perfume in the often quite strongly
acidic environment of hair conditioners must be check.

50.  HAIR RINSES :-
In early days women use vinegar & lemon juice to
remove the ‘lime soap’ scum from the hair.
In addition to dissociation of calcium salt, acidic rinsing
brings the pH of hair nearer to iso-electric point &
helps to maintain its integrity, hydroxyacids have
widely used in this respect.
Modern rinses comes in cationic surfactants like
stearyl-di-methyl-benzyl-ammonium chloride,
combined fatty alcohols, is the best known compd is
triton X-400 (containing 20% of stearyl-di-methyl-
benzyl ammonium chloride & 5% stearyl alcohol.)
