Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Many Filipinos are conscious and aware of the different ways on how to treat the hair in traditional and in modern ways. One of these hair treatments is the transition of shampoo to vinegar. The practice of using vinegar as a shampoo dates back to ancient Roman times and with good reason --the vinegar can help remove residue build up and close the cuticle, helps hair achieve that shiny, clean look that all are striving for. This study was conducted to encourage and inform the people that vinegar could be used to clarify and condition hair. These observations inspired the researcher to study and to test how the IDAA shampoo can be added different flower scents like rose, sampaguita, and ylang-ylang in terms of scent, color, and consistency.

 

METHODS

The instrument questionnaire checklist was the tool used to gather information or data for the research. Percentage, weighted mean and standard deviation were used to determine the acceptability of the Impure Dilute Acetic Acid (IDAA) Shampoo in terms of scent, color, and consistency. ANOVA was used to determine the significant difference on the acceptability of IDAA Shampoo using rose, sampaguita, and ylang-ylang scents as rated by the students, faculty, and beauticians.R results. It was found that in terms of rose scent and consistency, there were significant differences among the ratings given by the students, faculty, and beauticians. While in terms of color, there was no significant difference in the IDAA shampoo. In terms of sampaguita scent, color, and consistency, there were significant differences among the ratings given by the respondents on the IDAA shampoo. In ylang-ylang scent, there were no significant differences among the ratings given by the respondents. And, in terms of color and consistency, their ratings indicated that there was a significant difference.

 

DISCUSSIONS

The future researchers can enhance the scents by adding ready-made flower essential oils in making IDAA shampoo should be established to be able to produce quality products; teachers who will prepare this product or the researchers may secure an approval from the Department of Trade and Industry for authenticity; researchers may improve the color and consistency, since the IDAA Shampoo was not given highly acceptable ratings; parents and consumers may use IDAA Shampoo as an alternative for commercial shampoo; and that furtherstudy on the awareness of the community on the benefits gained from vinegar in relation to medical and domestic purposes and as an ingredient may be done.
