Topic: Comprehensive Analysis of Heat Protection Treatments for Hair: Safeguarding the Cortex and Cuticle;

Hair undergoes various forms of both surface and interior degradation during episodes of high heat exposure. This degradation can be observed at the micro scale via various imaging techniques and differential scanning calorimetry (DSR); and at the macro scale via sensory and processing changes. This study explores the contribution of various polymeric hair care ingredients to both surface and interior heat protection in an effort to help the cosmetic formula better select protective agents to meet their heat protection goals.
