Hi, I'm looking for professional help about making a hydrating hair mist. I looked at the website and it consists of a lot of different cosmetic areas that students can learn. I wonder if you have classes for one specific area only and gain in depth studies about it. Thank you for this informative video! I appreciate it very much.

Please answer me. Permethrin is organic oily substance which cannot mix in water. How to mix permethrin in water? I need 2% mixture. There are 3 possible solution i have found. Which is the best? 1) Use dimethyl formamide DMF as co-solvent. It will dissolve Permethrin , then mix it with water. 2) Use Silicone Emulsifier 3) Use C9 + 6 % emulsifier Fx 6600 + 7700 to make 25% Permethrin-EC then mix it with water.

As always, a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing. I have btms And I’m not sure if I would be able to use it in leave in hair care products, no water, for the other benefits btms provides. Like a hair balm or grease? Can I do that?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It won’t be stable in an oil based product - but low inputs are quite useful in leave on conditioners. I have some mask and leave on videos coming out in a few months, make sure you subscribe to receive notifications 😊 You can also learn how to formulate professional hair care with our Certificate in Advanced Hair Formulations: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/CertificateinAdvancedHairFormulations-2134/ or Diploma of Personal Care Formulation: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/DiplomaofPersonalCareFormulation-479/
