Keratinous fiber pigment chemistry: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent pigment penetration and cuticle damage lead to poor color retention and fiber degradation. These chemical kits stabilize the oxidative reaction to ensure uniform melanin alteration without compromising hair structural integrity.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Keratinous fiber pigment chemistry?

Hair color wash out

(29)evidences

Chemical lightening and coloring processes compromise the structural integrity of keratinous fibers. Preventing this damage maintains hair strength and texture while achieving desired aesthetic changes.

Persistent synthetic pigment retention

(29)evidences

The presence of existing melanin or previous artificial color prevents the achievement of a target aesthetic shade. Overcoming this limitation allows for precise color control and predictable cosmetic results.
