Why is Micelle?

A micelle is an aggregate of surfactant molecules dispersed in a liquid colloid. A typical micelle in aqueous solution forms an aggregate with the hydrophilic "head" regions in contact with a surrounding solvent, sequestering the hydrophobic single-tail regions in the micelle centre.it is a loosely bound aggregation of several tens or hundreds of atoms, ions (electrically charged atoms), or molecules, forming a colloidal particle-i.e., one of a number of ultramicroscopic particles dispersed through some continuous medium.
