March 2025 in “Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (Universidade de São Paulo)” This study investigated the protective effects of antioxidants, specifically ferulic acid and resveratrol, on chemically damaged hair. Using standardized bleached Caucasian hair strands, the research involved two stages: treatment with oxidative hair dye containing antioxidants and application of leave-in conditioners with antioxidants followed by simulated solar exposure. The results showed that both antioxidants effectively protected hair fibers, increasing denaturation energy by up to 35% and reducing protein loss compared to untreated hair. While they did not prevent cysteine oxidation during dyeing, they significantly reduced cysteine oxidation by about 50% during solar exposure. The study concludes that incorporating ferulic acid or resveratrol in cosmetic formulations effectively protects hair from oxidative damage caused by chemical processes and sun exposure.
