In case anyone is interested in starting their own line of hair care products, here's a video where Steve, the owner of Gable's Cosmetics tells you how. He makes private label products for a lot of companies you see on the shelf. The video is chopped up a bit, but it's still a goldmine of information.
It's really a interesting video to learn all about the stuff, how it's made, how much it costs to make etc. Then he shows demonstrates how hair gel is made. Take a glass of tap water, pours a table spoon of some type of power (he says what it is, I just forgot), a student in the class mixes it with a spoon adds a drop of blue color and it turns into blue hair gel. That's all there is to it basically He then says, if you want the hair gel in spray form, you just add salt. He then pours some ordinary Mortons table salt into the gel and it turns to a liquid sprayable form. That's hair gel minus the perfume of your choice.
The most interesting thing I saw was at the start of the video he shows examples of raw forms of detergent and foaming agents that is used to make shampoo. I noticed the bottles have Pilot Chemical labels on them. My grandfather was a chemical engineer and founded Pilot Chemical in 1952.
