Evaluation of Polymethylene Waxes as Conditioning Agents in Hair Relaxers

Abstract: The process of straightening (relaxing) naturally curly hair requires the use of highly alkaline ingredients (NaOH) in the relaxer system. Such treatments leave the hair in a damaged condition with a dull, dry appearance. Conditioners in the relaxer treatment restore good appearance and feel to the hair. The use of polymethylene (Fischer -Tropsch) waxes has been suggested as an effective and stable alternative to quaternized ammonium compounds as the conditioning agent [1]. This study compares the effects of v… Show more
