Hair shampoo is a popular household product that is used to wash the hair and used by all, women, men, children, including babies. This makes it one of the businesses with very high returns on investment. Looking at the population of Nigeria, if a manufacturer can take only one percent of the estimated 180 million, then that translates to a huge success for that entrepreneur. This is also a business that can be run from home with low capital.

Shampoo is a viscous (having a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid) liquid that is used for the washing of hair and scalp.

Shampoo is used to remove excess oil, dirt and skin debris from the hair known as sebum.

Hair follicle releases oily substances that coats the root of the hair. For these reasons shampoo is used for keeping the hair in good condition by providing the hair and scalp with moisture and in turn prevent breakage and other scalp related problems, leaving the hair with a long lasting fragrance and shining look.

A good shampoo will perform this function while leaving the hair manageable. These products should possess rich foaming action and rinse out easily.

Shampoo is one of the products that ladies cared so much for, when it comes to giving proper attention to their hair.

Various forms of hair care shampoos are available, from clear liquid to opaque pastes.

Though the main purpose of shampoo is for cleaning the hair, it is however, important to make use of very good fragrance and colorant as these will boost the demand for the products.

Besides the homes, shampoos are in high demands in the saloons (female & male hair saloons).

Attributes of good shampoo

– Must not have a pH higher than 5.5.

-Rich foaming (lather) action and ability to rinse out easily.

-It should be able to have long shelf life.

Production

The process involved in the production of hair shampoo is a very simple one and the materials (chemicals) needed are readily available just like liquid soap (detergent). No special machines or equipment needed for a start, whether for home use or commercial purpose.

As the scope of production increases however, producer may decide to acquire machine to meet the high increase which may no longer be feasible manually.

Some of the agents in shampoos usually include: modifying agents such as- opacifiers,clarifying agents, anti freezes conditioning and finishing agents. Others are sequestrants, thickening agents, proteins, binders, foam and anti-dandruff agents.

But the primary ingredients (chemicals) of a hair care shampoo is the detergent, either from an organic soap or a synthetic.

The ingredients (Chemicals) and the procedures for hair shampoo are very much similar to that of liquid detergent.

Production

Below is the production process for 10litres of shampoo, but it can be increased to any  required amount you need.

Ingredients:

•Antisol or Nitrosol  – 1 1/2 cup

•Sulphuric acid – 1/4 litre

•Caustic soda 2 tablespoons

•Soda ash – 1 1/2 cup

•Fragrance (as desired)

•Menthol – 1 teaspoon

•Industrial camphor – 1 tablespoon

•Preservative – 1 tablespoon

•Colour (as desired)

•Water – 10litres

Process:

1. Dissolve Antisol with 2 litres of water and let it stay for at least 24 hours, but if you are using Nitrosol, dissolve it with 5 litres of water and use immediately.

2. Dissolve caustic soda with 1 litre of water and keep to cool

3. Dissolve soda ash with 1 tin milk of water and keep aside

4. Mix soda ash solution with Caustic soda solution

5. Add sulphuric acid to the solution and stir

6. Dissolve colour

Mixture:

-Add the mixture of soda ash, caustic soda and sulphuric acid into antisol/ nitrosol and stir

-Add the dissolved colourant and menthol and keep stiring

-Add fragrance and industrial camphor and stir

-Finally add the preservative and stir properly.

Leave the mixture to stay for some hours and finally package into squirt bottle or pump bottle for household use and for sale.

It should be noted that:

-Water is the bulk of all the ingredients in a shampoo, it probably makes up to 80-90%

– Shampoos tend to be very acidic such that if the PH gets too high, the sulphur bridges in the hair keratin can break, causing serious damages to the hair.

-Caustic soda is very corrosive, it can damage skin when in contact with it.

– Wear plastic gloves.

– Do not inhale the vapor of soda

– Wear protective googles and mask

– Don’t use aluminium containers because it will melt with soda

– Keep children away from the premises.

– Shampoos must not have a pH higher than 5.5,which is also scalp pH. Hair shaft swelling which occurs due to alkalization of hair shaft after use of most detergents can be prevented by “pH balancing” the shampoo by the addition of an acidic substance, such as glycolic acid or Citric acid to adjust the pH down to approximately 5.5.
