A research was conducted on the formulation of hair straightening cream from keratin protein. The extracted keratin protein from the chicken feathers helps in straightening without damage the hair. The large number of chemicals in the hair products had changed the normal structure of the hair and become unhealthy. Hence this formulation will produce an effective hair straightening cream that can straighten the hair and rebuild hair damaged. Firstly, the phases of the solution, phase I and phase II was prepared by dissolving the chemicals together based on the water and oil system by put into the water bath at 65°C until all the chemicals had been soluble. Soluble phase I and II were mixed together by stirring using the glass rod and continued stirring using a Homogenizer mixer for a two hour. Clinical testing proved that this formulation only can temporarily straighten the hair for five to six hours and can soften curly and unmanageable hair by using the keratin in the formulation. From this research can be concluded that this formulation needs more adjustment on the composition of chemicals to make it become permanent hair straightening cream and without damage the hair structure.
