strengthen hair from the inside fiberhance solution superior hair strengthening from the inside Everyone wants to have strong, healthy, manageable hair but the effects of modern living take their toll on hair. Factors such as aging, increased use of modern appliances such as hot irons and blow-dryers, and the universal trend of coloring hair, all contribute to damage and weakness to the hair fibers. As such, the hair-strengthening market is growing rapidly as science begins to find the answers to combatting hair weakening, thinning and breaking. Historically, most solutions for weak hair have involved ingredients which act primarily at the surface with limited penetration. These have included various forms of proteins, keratin derivatives and some vitamins and natural oils. solution is a new patented chemistry to be included in the arsenal of ingredients for hair strengthening. Evolving from glucose-based chemistry, it has a unique multifaceted mode of action which penetrates deep into the cortex to create new hydrogen and ionic bonds which support the damaged internal keratin structure and strengthen and provide manageability back to the hair.

Weak hair is where the inner structure of the hair has been compromised, with its bonds and linkages broken or damaged. There can be a range of reasons for hair to weaken and thin aging, heat or chemical treatments, or simply the environment. The only effective long-term solution is to repair and restore, or replace, the internal structure of the hair.
mode of action The α-helix protein structure in the hair fiber provides the strength to the hair. In weak hair the bonds are broken and missing. solution is a small molecule in which the chemical structure and dimensions have been specifically designed to optimize multi-bond interactions within the hair keratin cortex and as such builds new bonds within and across the structure (dual mechanisms). within the α helix between the α helix HO OH OH HO OH O key features and benefits features Unique, new to the world, innovative patented ingredient which strengthens internal hair structure up to 3X that of untreated hair. Works by creating additional hydrogen and ionic bonds within the hair keratin structure. Penetrates deep into the hair fiber to the cortex and restores hair fiber strength back to levels of virgin hair. Cost effective. Supplied as 50% solution. Good sustainability footprint. Works in hair color process systems. benefits New claims such as new technology, unique, builder provide opportunity to capture share of strengthening sector of market. New multifunctional mechanism of action, optimized to interact at the molecular level. Very few technologies can claim inner strengthening functionality, this technology is superior. Replaces higher cost alternatives. Enables easy manufacturing, lowers production costs. Natural origin, zero-waste green manufacturing process. Enter fast growing builder segment in hair care. 2
