    TLDR The new hybrid polymer improves dyed hair's color, feel, and manageability.
    The study from 2006 evaluated a novel hybrid polymer for hair treatment, composed of hydrolyzed protein, alkyl chain, and silicone. It effectively prevented discoloration in dyed hair and improved moisture feel, luster, manageability, smoothness, and combability, especially in damaged hair. These benefits were confirmed through sensory tests, even with high dilution in shampoo, indicating its potential for broader use in hair care products.
