April 2008 in “Acta materialia” This study investigated the tensile response and morphological changes of different ethnic hair types using AFM, showing variations between virgin, chemically damaged, and conditioner-treated Caucasian hair under different conditions.
March 2009 in “CRC Press eBooks” This paper reviews how hair conditioners work, primarily by reducing combing forces through lubrication, and reports no new clinical findings.
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.
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.
