Hair fiber integrity is defined by a complex structural scaffold, primarily composed of keratin proteins and lipids, which ensure strength, elasticity, and resilience. However, chemical treatments, heat, UV exposure, and environmental stressors can compromise this structure, leading to protein degradation, lipid depletion, increased porosity, and weakened fibers.
At OxiProteomics, we offer cutting-edge efficacy testing to scientifically assess how hair care formulations protect, repair, and reinforce hair fiber integrity. Our advanced analytical approaches evaluate: keratin preservation to prevent structural breakdown, lipid barrier protection for moisture retention and fiber flexibility.
Recognizing the diversity of hair types and ethnicities, we have developed tailored testing protocols to assess fiber integrity across various hair structures, ensuring that formulations meet the specific needs of different hair types.
