When long surfactant molecules having a polar headgroup and a nonpolar tail are added to water, micelles

Question:

When long surfactant molecules having a polar headgroup and a nonpolar “tail” are added to water, micelles are formed in which the nonpolar tails aggregate, with the polar headgroups pointing out toward the solvent. Inverse micelles are similar but have the nonpolar regions pointing outward. How can inverse micelles be produced?
