December 2018 in “International Journal of Phytocosmetics and Natural Ingredients” Olive and Brazil nut oils improve hair strength, shine, and softness better than silicone.
April 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study evaluated the effects of cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems on hair fibers, focusing on combability and sensory performance. The negatively charged surface of hair fibers after washing allows cationic agents to adsorb onto the hair, forming a low-friction film that reduces inter-fiber forces and improves combability. Formulations with cationic systems were compared to reference systems, standardized at 2% active matter concentration. Combing performance was measured using a texture analyzer, and sensory evaluations were conducted by trained panelists. Results showed that cationic systems significantly reduced friction and improved both wet and dry combability, with a strong correlation between sensory and instrumental measurements. These systems offer high-performance, sensorially optimized solutions for hair care formulations.
