Main Ingredients Of Hair Care Products

The main ingredients of hair care products include the following categories:
Vitamins:
Vitamin E: Especially α-vitamin E, which has a good conditioning effect on hair because it can regulate redox phenomena.
D-Panthenol: Also known as D-pantothenic acid precursor (vitamin B5), it can moisturize the hair shaft and has a good affinity for hair.
Protein derivatives:
Collagen: Although protein molecules are too large to directly penetrate the hair and fix on keratin, collagen obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis can be used to care for hair.
Aminomethyl propanol and tromethamine: These ingredients have a strong adsorption effect on hair, especially for severely bleached hair. They can also help remove odors from the human body and scalp, and have a certain effect on fighting pollution.
Oils:
High carbon chain oils: Stronger moisturizing feeling.
Low carbon chain oils: Better refreshing degree.
‌Unsaturated oils‌: The higher the unsaturation, the easier it is for the oil to oxidize, so a good antioxidant design is needed for the formula‌.
‌Cationic polymers‌: The cationic groups that bind to the hair are no longer connected to the fat chain as in cationic surfactants, but are transplanted or integrated into the polymer structure. They protect fragile hair from external damage and are antistatic‌.

‌Other ingredients‌:

‌Silicone‌: It can prevent static electricity and make hair smooth and tangle-free‌.
‌Hardener‌: It can make hair straighter and longer-lasting, but excessive use will damage the quality of hair‌.
‌Fragrance‌: It can enhance the smell of conditioner, but it may also cause scalp allergies‌.
