Thermally activated pigment modulation: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent chemical activation during bleaching leads to uneven lift and fiber damage. Precise thermal modulation of the oxidative reaction ensures uniform color results while preserving hair integrity.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Thermally activated pigment modulation?

Permanent hair dye persistence

(23)evidences

Conventional chemical dyeing processes cause permanent structural degradation and cuticle loss. Minimizing chemical trauma while achieving color change preserves fiber integrity and scalp health.

Irreversible hair fiber damage

(21)evidences

Conventional oxidative bleaching and coloring processes cause structural degradation and weakening of the hair shaft. Eliminating this damage preserves fiber integrity while achieving desired aesthetic changes.

Hair color fading and instability

(6)evidences

Chemical lightening processes cause uneven pigment loss and undesirable brassy undertones. Stabilizing the color balance through targeted toning prevents aesthetic degradation and artificial appearance.
