research Biomimetics Through Bioconjugation of 16- Methylheptadecanoic Acid to Damaged Hair for Hair Barrier Recovery
This study found that bioconjugating 16-methylheptadecanoic acid (16-MHA) to damaged hair can mimic the protective properties of 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA), restoring the hair's structural integrity and moisture homeostasis, even after washing.
