    TLDR The shampoo improves hair conditioning without using silicone.
    The study successfully developed a transparent silicone-free shampoo containing proteins that enhance hair conditioning properties. By using a combination of mild non-sulphate surfactants, cationic conditioners, and protein conditioners, the researchers found that the compound proteins Croquat WKP PE-LQ-WD and Gluadin® Kera-PLM, at specific mass ratios, improved hair grooming performance by increasing the contact angle and reducing friction compared to commercial silicone-free shampoos without proteins. These proteins not only adhered to the hair surface but also penetrated deeply, demonstrating a strong synergistic effect. This research provides valuable insights for creating silicone-free hair products with enhanced benefits.
