FSS Split End Complex MSX
Background:
Split ends are ultimately the result of mechanical damage to the hair. A
variety of factors influence the mechanical damage that promotes split ends.
Chemical influence or sunlight-induced hair damage will weaken the hair, making
it more prone to split ends. Hair care products rich in conditioning agents
reduce combing force, making split ends more likely.
A well-formulated hair care regimen will significantly reduce the formation of
split ends. The question remains: how does one reduce the appearance or repair
split ends once they have formed? The truth is that there is no way to reseal
the hair. However, there are several strategies for creating the illusion of
undamaged hair until healthy hair can be grown.
Science:
Hair damage is directly correlated with charge density. As the tip of a hair
fiber begins to crack, fray, and eventually split, this multiplies the
electronegative sites for that follicle, making it many times stronger than an
undamaged follicle. Like with any electrical charge, the electronegative sites
will tend to repel each other, exacerbating the appearance of split ends. By
applying a cationic low molecular weight quaternary compound such as
hydroxypropyltrimonium hydrolyzed rice protein, it is possible to neutralize
the electric charge, virtually eliminating the static interaction.
This achieves the effect of eliminating some of the pressure pushing the ends
of the hair apart. Having neutralized the charge with the quaternized compound,
a material is applied to help hold the damaged ends together. For this, we have
chosen a high molecular weight glucan-based rice biopolymer.
The polyglucan seals the hair while providing enhanced lubricity to reduce
combing force. Although FSS Split End Complex MSX has a higher molecular
weight, the rice polyglucan does not contribute to build-up due to its
water-soluble nature.
Benefits:
Split ends are the body’s way of signifying damaged or unhealthy hair.
Thankfully, by utilizing FSS Split End Complex MSX, you will be able to
give the body time to repair itself while not having to worry about your
appearance or further damage with other harsh chemicals. Using FSS Split End
Complex MSX in formulation will help bring balance and healthy hair for a
natural, youthful appearance.
