    TLDR Future hair products will use ecofriendly proteins and peptides to improve hair health and appearance.
    The document discusses the potential of sustainable and ecofriendly proteins, protein hydrolysates, peptides, fusion proteins, and nanosystem-containing proteins in hair cosmetics. These compounds can improve hair properties such as strength, shape, volume, color, smoothness, gloss, and moisture. Keratin proteins and peptides from sources like wool, feathers, or hair are particularly effective in protecting and enhancing hair fibers. The review suggests that future formulations with multifunctional proteins and peptides will significantly impact the development of sustainable, ecofriendly hair products.
