Simplified Summary :

When it comes to haircare, it truly does depend on each persons hair, no product is one fits all. If you like a product, and your scalp feels clean while your ends feel moisturized, continue use.

Healthy hair habits take priority over products. Keeping your scalp clean is number one, to do so depends on how often you wash. There is no right amount, it is okay to wash daily or weekly. If washing daily, use a shampoo that is lower in surfactants, aim for ones that say “okay for daily use”. If washing once a week, or twice, use one with higher surfactants (clarifying shampoo). If at any point your hair feels as if there is product buildup or the scalp is itchy use clarifying shampoo. number two is to condition frequently, you can condition before or after shampooing. It is helpful to pre-oil your hair 30 minutes prior to showering with coconut oil, coconut oil is the only oil proven to effectively enter the hair cuticle and can help protect against water damage. if you are going days without shampooing, spraying it with conditioning spray or oil on the shafts only is helpful. number three is small habits, dry your hair with a microfiber towel. keep shampoo only on the scalp and conditioner on the ends. squeeze out any excess water out prior to applying conditioner and let it sit for at least 2 minutes, longer if you can. use gentle hair ties and claw clips. put your hair in a protective style before bed. eat properly, get enough rest, and make sure you are hitting protein goals for biotin production. never brush your hair while it’s wet, and don’t over brush. use a leave in conditioner after washing, and avoid heat styling.

ingredients : shampoos and conditioners have a team of hair chemists formulating them carefully, so most haircare products are safe to use, but some are better based on added ingredients. ingredients like proteins, peptides, keratin, butters, oils, silicones, citric acid, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid can improve hair. when choosing hair products, aim for ones that have these ingredients higher on the ingredient list

despite fear of silicones and sulfates, they are recommended by dermatologists and trichologists. the only ingredient you should avoid is formaldehyde. formaldehyde has different names, so avoid at all cost anything that says formaldehyde, methylene glycol, formalin, formic aldehyde, paraform, formol, formalin (methanol-free), FYDE, formalith, methanal, methyl aldehyde, methylene oxide, tetraoxymethalene, oxomethane, and oxymethylene. these are mainly found in special treatments and heat products, legally these can be called “formaldehyde free” if using it in a different form. (the ones listed above that are not verbatim “formaldehyde”)

affirmations

i love taking care of my hair, it’s so soft and fluffy. it never tangles and always is super shiny. it never breaks, my split ends always repair immediately. it grows so fast, inches every week. my hair smells so good and feels so bouncy ૮꒰ྀི⸝⸝> . <⸝⸝꒱ྀིა

The Triton Trials

I keep thinking that I’m done and then thinking of other things to try.

I tried using T.A. like a shampoo, which is the way Triton X 114 is used https://www.tumblr.com/imreadydollparts/711701851881553920/the-triton-trials?source=share.

I hadn’t tried using Triton as a soak like I use T.A., though.

So I did.

When I soak a doll head in Totally Awesome, I fill a cup with concentrated cleanser, put the head in, make sure the head is filled, and leave it alone for a few hours. Every few hours I will check the head, remove any large chunks that have come out, replace the cleanser if it’s gone cloudy, and jostle the head around in the cup a bit. I’ll repeat this for as long as it takes for the head to be clean. Sometimes it can be a week or more. Usually it’s a day or two.

First I used a Barbie head with Kanekalon hair to see how being soaked in a mix of distilled water and Triton for a long time affected the face paint.

It didn’t. Her face paint is fine. I even rubbed at it with my thumb just to see. (Her hair is still damp in this photo)

Her hair was already mostly clean of glue when she went into the Triton bath, and came out a little worse.

Kanekalon is a light, airy kind of hair fiber and this Barbie’s hair is now heavier. There’s a feeling to it like a styling product has been added or a “smoothing” shampoo with silicone.

It’s so minimal that you probably wouldn’t notice if you weren’t someone that’s constantly mucking about with doll hair.

It’s not sticky, and other than an area by her right ear that is still clumpy and gross (it was clean before the Triton bath), the residue is evenly distributed. It just feels wrong for Kanekalon.

A few chunks of glue did come out of her neck hole. They weren’t sticky on the surface. Nothing like the nasty, crumbly mess T.A. gets out.

T.A. certainly wins at breaking up glue inside the head.

Still, it’s an improvement over gluey hair and her hair isn’t dried out as severely as she would be with a prolonged soak in Totally Awesome (which is easily rectified with conditioner).

-

Since Barbie was already mostly clean going into the bath, I also soaked Wonder Woman overnight in Triton and distilled water.

I did her like I do a doll in T.A., just like barbie.

I believe she has saran hair.

I had used Wonder Woman in that trial of using T.A. as a shampoo (linked above) and her hair was saturated with glue. It was overall sticky, gooey, and clumpy.

This morning it is considerably cleaner, but not totally clean. Diana’s hair also has an overall residual coating of head glue.

This is faster to get to this state of cleaner than T.A.

The back of her head is rapidly getting gluey and nasty again.

Her head is hard around the scalp and no glue came out at all. It’s all still in there, and apparently still actively oozing.

I would say that an overnight soak would help considerably with a head that has disgustingly gluey hair, and then follow that up the next day with a normal shampooing with fresh distilled water and Triton. The overnight soak might help you not need to stand there scrubbing as long.

Triton doesn’t seem to be able to fully neutralize the glue that’s inside the head, though. Maybe with more time.

Is this really the final thought?

So.

Triton X-114, a surfactant, is faster and the safer option for a doll head that has been repainted.

Triton doesn’t dry out doll hair significantly.

Triton requires more physical labor to work, and doesn’t fully remove or neutralize the glue inside of a doll’s head, nor does it notably break up the glue so that it comes out.

Triton won’t dissolve the hair ties, making it more suitable to a doll who’s hair you do not want to restyle.

You need distilled water for Triton to be effective.

Triton is difficult to rinse out, as it’s rather dense. It’s even more difficult if you only have access to tap water.

Soaking in Triton and distilled water coats the doll’s hair in a thin, even, dare I say tolerable layer of glue reside.

-

L.A.’s Totally Awesome, a solvent, is slower and needs time to dissolve the glue. Scrubbing or rubbing does not increase T.A.’s efficacy, only time.

T.A. cannot be used on a repainted head. It will remove the repaint. I use T.A. to remove nail polish from dolls and ponies without removing their factory paint.

T.A. does dissolve hair ties. It’s also effective at removing disintegrated rubber bands from doll hair. You will need to restyle your doll’s hair after a T.A. soak.

T.A. does dry out hair, and the hair requires reconditioning after cleansing.

It does a notable job of breaking up the glue that’s inside a doll’s head, though doesn’t get out 100% like the combination of Tea Tree Oil and Totally Awesome does. There tends to still be glue stuck in the roots of the hair.

T.A. works well even in hard water and is easy to rinse out in general.

T.A. will get hair clean even where it’s denser or more clumpy, just give it time. T.A. also seems to set the glue in the head at least for some time, stopping seepage if temporarily. The heads I treated years ago have a little bit of stickiness at their parting lines where the hair is more dense, and that’s it.

Soaking in T.A. concentrate does not coat the hair in glue residue, it strips the hair.

I think that

Triton X-114 is an excellent choice for maintenance cleaning if you don’t mind redoing it every now and then, have repaints to be careful with, or want to protect the current hair style, whereas T.A. is harsher but a more deep and effective glue remover.

Both work.

Here’s the link to the post with all the links to the other posts about different head glue rectifying methods that I’ve been working with again:  https://www.tumblr.com/imreadydollparts/708236837686214656/mattel-head-glue?source=share

Defoamer Surfactant Prices: Trend | Pricing | News | Price | Database

The market for defoamer surfactants has been witnessing significant dynamics in recent years, driven by a variety of factors influencing pricing trends and demand-supply equilibrium. Defoamers, essential in various industrial processes to reduce or eliminate foam, play a critical role in enhancing operational efficiency. These surfactants are widely utilized in industries such as paints and coatings, pulp and paper, water treatment, and oil and gas, where foam formation can hinder production processes and impact product quality. Consequently, the demand for defoamer surfactants continues to grow, albeit subject to fluctuations in raw material costs and regional market conditions.

One of the primary drivers of defoamer surfactant prices is the cost of raw materials.
