Virgin Hair SurfacesHair that has not been chemically treated
as a result of a layer of fatty acids
covalently bound to the outermost
surface of the cuticle
As a result of its protein structure the hair surface has an isoelectric point near 3.67 which insures that the surface will contain negatively charged
hydrophilic sites at the ordinary pH levels of hair care

This eventually results in destruction of the covalently

the tips
the tip ends of hair require more
conditioning than the rest of the fiber
Without sufficient conditioning, the cuticle

in a split end

Benefits Examples
• chloride• bromide• Methosulfate
counter anions
• they are substantive to hair and bind to negative sites on the hair surface.
Because of the positive charge
• hydrophobic coating on the fiber that render the hair softer and easier to comb
• Buildup of static charge (flyaway) is also greatly reduced as a result of this surface modification
• deposition increases withincreasing negative charge on the hair surface
The Results
deposition and degree of penetration into the hair fiber
interaction between cationic conditioners and the hair fiber mainly occurs at the surface
low–molecular weight materials may penetrate the interior via intercellular diffusion
can penetrate the cuticular sheath as well as cortex

Provides light to

Detangling and wet combing, in particular, improve significantly from monocetyl to dicetyl to tricetyl quats
Note that on some types of hair, the greater substantivity of higher conditioning quats can lead to buildup with repeated use and result in limp, unmanageable hair.
e.g
A tricetyl quat might be used, in an intensive conditioner meant only for occasional use.

commercial conditioners and shampoos
because of its incompatibility with common anionic detergents
The quaternium compounds normally used in commercial conditioners are not generally found in shampoos
• polyethylene glycol (PEG)• cocomonium chloride
Both of these quats are compatible with typical anionic detergents
decreases the conditioning efficacy suitable only in light conditioning Formulationsconditioning shampoos based on ethoquats would
not be expected to be very effective as a result of low deposition of the detergent-soluble ethoquat complex
Example “Ethoquats.”

from Korean ginseng saponin
Other detergent-soluble quats :

commercial conditioners and shampoos
compatible to varying degrees with anionic surfactants
used more in shampoos than in stand-alone conditioners
they find some use in leave-in conditioners.
Polyquaternium-10 (PQ-10) polyquaternium-7 (PQ-7)
• The most frequently used polymers in commercial shampoos.
• Conditioning from shampoos is significantly less than from stand-alone conditioners.
• Buildup • heavy coated feel on the hair • they are should carefully formulated.
polyquaternium association complexes formed with sodium lauryl sulfate resist removal from hair
some polyquaternium materials improve adhesion of the cuticle scales thereby increasing resistance to scale uplift when the hair is stressed

Silicone emulsions can vary in:
1) charge (anionic, cationic, or nonionic),2) size (microemulsion or macroemulsion), 3) how they are made (mechanical or emulsion polymerization)
the smaller the size of the silicone particles, the more stable the product emulsion

Conditioning Properties of Silicones
Lubricity Spread easily on the hair surface Ease of combing and imparts a
smooth, soft feel to the hair without greasiness.
Dimethicone lowered frictional coefficients and surface energy of
virgin hair to a greater extent than a series of cationic surfactants,
including distearydimonium chloride, a very effective conditioning agent.

Emulsions were applied directly to the hair and combing forces measured both before and after rinsing
Before rinsingreduction of combing forces by most emulsions was
greater than 80%.
the least change in ease of combing was found for cationic emulsions,especially those containing amodimethicone
After rinsing
Combing forces on virgin hair increased less than on bleached hair after rinsing
The silicones were more substantive to virgin
hair
Effects of Amodimethicones Experiment
3Deposition on hair was found to
increase with increasing amine content in the silicone
Microemulsion in the test series that provided high conditioning was also shown to significantly reduce the color fading caused by shampoo of temporarily dyed hair
Other SiliconesCyclomethicone
volatile and will not remain on dry hair, especially after blow-drying
It helps other conditioning agents to disperse
helps improve wet combing and provides transient shine
widely used as a solvent to reduce the viscosity of silicone gums with much higher molecular weights.
phenyl trimethicone
dimethicone copolyol phosphates
high refractive index, close to that of hair,
commonly used in leave-in conditioners to enhance the shine of hair fibers
anionic functional silicones
able to complex with tertiary amines of cationic hair conditioners and form effective emulsifiers and conditioners
fluorocarbon-modified organosilicones
very hydrophobic like dimethicone; however, they are claimed to have a lighter and more lubricious feel
silicone blends
blends of these materials
having different molecular weights
different functional groups
silicones with other hydrophobic oils

2-in-1 Shampoos
& conditioner
Silicones find important application as the primary conditioning agents in 2-in-1 conditioningshampoos
the shampoo emulsion breaks, releasing the silicone for deposition on hair.
Dimethicone
The conditioning agent used most frequently in 2-in-1 shampoos
provide good performance in shampoo formulations without excessive buildup on the hair
Newer formulations
Dimethicone emulsions AmodimethiconesDimethiconols, Copolyols Combinations of these different types
The level of conditioning from 2-in-1 shampoos is lower than that from stand-alone conditioners
Many 2-in-1 products contain polyquats, which might be expected to increase conditioning on damaged hair
Polyquat performance on treated hair may be no better than Dimethicone as a result of formation of the negatively charged polymer complexes

Preservatives
insure the microbiological integrity
If the product contains high concentrations of ethyl alcohol (generally 20% or above), additional preservatives are not needed and the product is described as self-preserving.
Most of the preservatives used in personal care products are described in the Cosmetic Preservatives Encyclopedia
ThickenersCationic conditioning polymers can also act as
thickeners
Hydroxyethylcellulose
a nonionic cellulose ether compatible with cationic surfactants and stable over a wide pH range
the most common thickening agent added to conditioning products
increased viscosity, this material stabilizes viscosity over time
Polyamidescan be used to emulsify and thicken lotion or
cream conditioners
Polyacrylate-based thickeners
such as carbopol
in the past these thickeners have not always been compatible with cationic surfactants
Recently, new thickeners based on polyacrylate chemistry have been commercialized to address this issue.
Humectants
purpose is to attract moisture
Examples propylene glycol Glycerin Honey Chitosan hyaluronic acid
Not expected to be very effective in rinse-off products.
Emulsifiers
Most emulsifiers used in conditioners are nonionic including:Ethoxylated fatty alcoholsEthoxylated fatty estersEthoxylated sorbitan fatty esters.
