Hair It s no secret that we all want to look great and our hair forms a fundamental part of our appearance. However, to ensure our hair looks good it is regularly subjected to high temperatures from straightening irons and hair dryers. Not forgetting bleaching and dying, relaxing and perming, brushing and tying up. This constant styling inevitably leads to hair breakage, split ends, frizz, dull and lifeless hair; and in severe cases hair loss. When considering the manageability of hair it is also important to factor the hair type whether it is fine or fly away, greasy, thick and so on.

Recommended use level: 3-5% HydroSal Hairoma Therapy (Water, Fragrance, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Acrylates/C12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Phenylethyl Alcohol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin). HydroSal. Hairoma Therapy is a unique delivery system for hair care applications that provides extended fragrance intensity, fragrance burst upon demand when triggered with moisture, and noticeable malodor reduction. Most hair care products contain fragrances for a pleasing consumer experience that can serve as endpoint markers in both rinse-off and leave-on applications. However, fragrances are volatile and tend to evaporate over time with their loss being accelerated due to styling as well as during rinse-off. Therefore, there is a need to slow down the release of fragrances as well as maximise their aroma burst in order to add another beneficial dimension of on demand response. HydroSal technology addresses both of these issues and also provides a mechanism to keep hair fresh by counteracting malodor agents. Suitable for hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, sprays, and serums.

The particles have a porous core enclosed within a film-forming polymer shell. When applied to hair, the film-forming polymer coats the hair and releases the thermal protection agent and fragrance onto the hair surface. The thermal protection agent protects hair from heat damage by slowing down external heat transfer to the hair cuticle, and the fragrance is gradually released due to the presence of the polymer film. Suitable for hair products such as, leave-in conditioners, pre-heat serums, pre-heat styling mousse, and thermal primer.
