Amino Silicone Polymers as Hair Softeners and Conditioners: A Comparison of Amodimethicone and Dimethicone Copolyol Amine

The study conducted by O'Lenick and Sitbon in 1998 compared the effectiveness of two amino silicone polymers, amodimethicone and dimethicone copolyol amine, as hair softeners and conditioners. The researchers evaluated the performance of these compounds in hair products, using emulsion polymerization as a method of application. The results indicated that both polymers were effective as hair conditioners, but the study did not specify which one was superior. The study also highlighted the importance of raw materials in the production of hair care products.
