Foam in Shampoo
Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Goal Statement The challenge I’m facing is to find the answer on how to evaluate or measure the good cleansing ability of shampoo. I wash my hair every day in the morning, as I feel my hair is so oily and dirty and gives me uncomfortable feeling. I have to spend significant amount of time in the morning for hair washing followed by hair drying and I want to reduce my frequency of hair washing as other people do. My frequency of hair washing was suspected due to the used of poor shampoo cleansing ability and therefore I need to find and use the suitable one. In order to find shampoo with good cleansing performance I was deliberately watching shampoo advertisement on television, but unfortunately I could not find any advertised shampoo that claimed to have good cleansing ability. Shampoo advertised on television is simply claiming on its manageability/conditioning benefit, anti dandruff benefit or other non-cleansing benefits such as strong hair or less hair damage. On using mild shampoo which was claimed to be suitable for daily use, I found sometime my hair is still a bit oily after hair washing and therefore I keep experimenting to use different brands of shampoo to find the suitable one for me that is shampoo with a good cleansing ability. This project is using 2 aims, which are measuring the foam volume of the marketed shampoos and to compare and evaluate the marketed shampoos on its ability to cleanse the hair.
1.2 Outlines I include some important things in this report. Those important things are aims, hypothesis, variables, theory, procedure, data, analysis, discussion, conclusion, suggestion, bibliography and appendices. Aims are the goal and the objective. I’m doing this project by making a hypothesis which guides the development and proceeding of this project. Variables are mainly things that control my experiment, and there are 3 variables; dependent variable which is related to what we are
