Healthy hair is more than just a pretty head when we're talking about market trends- it's become a major driving force for high-end products. Innovation is booming, with a significant focus on hair protection and scalp hydration. Thus, hair protection treatments have seen the steepest year-over-year price increases across all categories of beauty and personal care products.
Remember when all hair products did was clean and condition? The game's changed. Now, preventing damage caused by external factors is a key concern, and hydrophobicity is at the heart of this shift.
Simply put, hydrophobicity often equates to healthier, more resilient hair. By improving hydrophobicity, we're offering a natural and effective means to protect and strengthen hair. Here's the lowdown.
What Exactly is Hydrophobicity?
Put plainly, hydrophobicity is a physical property found in certain substances that allows them to repel water. Substances with this property came together to stay clear of water, due to their molecules' incompatibility with water molecules. It's present in non-polar organic molecules such as lipids, waxes, and oils.
Human hair naturally possesses a thin, hydrophobic layer of lipids and proteins that acts as a barrier. However, this balance can differ from person to person or be affected by environmental factors, or inappropriate treatments and care products.
So, why does hydrophobicity matter? It impacts:
- Protection against moisture, keeping hair stronger and less prone to breakage and fragility
- Reduction of frizz for a smoother, more manageable look
- Improvement of structural integrity and protection against mechanical damage, such as combing and brushing
- Increase in shine and retention of color treatments for a vibrant look
Hydrophobicity and Hair Protection
The relationship between hydrophobicity and hair health is deeply rooted in hair structure. When it comes to hair, the crucial role of the outermost layer, the hair cuticle, is noteworthy. It's in the cuticle where key lipids, such as 18-MEA, are found and help strengthen hydrophobicity.
Fats in the hair form a protective barrier, allowing hair to retain moisture and preventing water loss. The more fats present, the more effective this barrier becomes, leading to healthier, stronger, and more attractive hair.
In essence, a well-hydrated surface is more naturally hydrophobic. It's important to maintain and restore this lipid layer to improve hair protection.
