Hair surface interactions against different chemical functional groups as a function of environment and hair condition. [PDF]

Int J Cosmet Sci, 2023
Abstract Objective The nature and magnitude of molecular interactions on hair surfaces underpin the design of formulated products, of which the application involves a competitive adsorption process between cationic surfactants, fatty alcohols and surface actives such as silicone.

Electrokinetic analysis reveals common conditioner ingredient interactions with human hair. [PDF]

Int J Cosmet Sci
Novel electrokinetic analysis reveals how cationic surfactant deposition on hair is influenced by chain length and counterion mobility. Longer‐chain surfactants show superior adsorption through enhanced van der Waals interactions, while chloride counterions enable stronger electrostatic interactions.

Synthesis of a new amino acid derivative with long-lasting hair shape control effects and elucidation of its mechanisms. [PDF]

Int J Cosmet Sci
We have discovered 2‐(2‐aminoethylthio) succinic acid with a long‐lasting hair shape control effect. We have demonstrated its hair straightening and curl retention effect, and clarified its mechanism. Abstract Objective Hair is a crucial aspect of an individual's physical appearance.

Indirubin as a red hair Colourant from Indigofera tinctoria L. [PDF]

Int J Cosmet Sci
An immediate stable red colour result after application of Indigofera tinctoria L. on hair in the presence of isatin and a reducing agent was achieved. A revised indigo molecule and indirubin synthesis pathway for I. tinctoria L. application including the effect of said additives to the colour outcome is presented.

Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

Bio‐active designed peptide for hair keratin strengthening

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Bioactive tripeptides through in silico screening revealed KCV (Tripeptide‐132) as the most promising keratin‐targeting candidate. Experimental studies confirmed its superior hair‐strengthening performance with 44% tensile strength enhancement, 50% breakage reduction, improved surface integrity and fibre penetration.

Streaming potential analysis of hair variation: Ethnicities and environmental exposures

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 230-242, April 2026.
Ethnicity and weathering shape electrokinetic behaviour and particle deposition in hair. ζ‐potential magnitudes ranked Caucasian > Indian > Chinese with no significant root‐tip variations. Deposition patterns generally correlate with ζ‐potential but differ by ethnicity, implicating other factors.

Reinventing henna: Enzyme‐catalysed colour release from stabilized Lawsonia inermis L. extracts

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 310-326, April 2026.
The instability and reduced dyeing performance of a cosmetic formulation containing 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (lawsone), derived from Lawsonia inermis L., is demonstrated in comparison to a novel two‐component system. This system comprises one formulation with naturally occurring lawsone precursors and a second containing a specific hydrolase ...

Text and Topos: British Travellers to Real‐and‐Imagined Classical Sites, c. 1560–1820

History, Volume 110, Issue 393, Page 588-605, December 2025.
Abstract Early‐modern British travellers to the Mediterranean often understood their journeys through the lens of classical texts and culture. Historians sometimes explain this as an imaginative phenomenon: travellers’ preconceptions shaped by classical knowledge guided their subsequent comprehension and activity.

Development of the Hair & Scalp CARE questionnaire: Measuring the impact of hair and scalp issues on psychological wellbeing in healthy populations

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 807-819, October 2025.
The Hair & Scalp CARE questionnaire is a validated tool for assessing the impact of hair and scalp condition on psychological wellbeing. The present data also suggest greater hair and scalp wellbeing is linked to lower levels of perceived stress and good sleep health.
