April 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study found that cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems significantly improve hair combability by forming a stable low-friction film on hair surfaces, reducing friction and enhancing sensory performance compared to standard systems, as confirmed by both instrumental and sensory evaluations.
April 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study found that cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems significantly reduce friction on hair fibers, improving wet and dry combability by forming a stable film layer on the hair’s surface, as verified by both instrumental and sensory evaluations.

March 2021 in “Journal of Surfactants and Detergents” This study found that hair treated with shampoo containing water-soluble silicone demonstrated smoother sliding and better detangling, compared to shampoo with water-insoluble silicone, due to differences in conditioning film formation.
July 2026 in “Open Minds International Journal” This review suggests that multifunctional cosmetic systems, particularly HIVEN Curl Code ®, may help control frizz and maintain curl definition in highly curly hair by utilizing various conditioning and biofunctional ingredients.
