research Marine-Biomass-Derived Melanin–Chitosan Composites as Natural Black Hair Colorants: Charge Reversal and Electrostatic Deposition Mechanism
This study reports the development of a natural hair-coloring system using size-controlled ink particles from cuttlefish ink combined with chitosan, achieving darker and more uniform black coloration on hair than existing plant-based natural colorants, without the need for metallic mordants.
