A Comprehensive Technology Scouting on Minimizing Sensations
Objective:
Hair coloring is a popular cosmetic procedure renowned for improving one’s appearance and personal style. Despite their popularity, traditional hair coloring products often cause scalp irritation and discomfort.
These sensory responses can range from moderate acne, dandruff, itching and burning sensations to severe allergic reactions causing difficulties for both clients and hair care professionals.
A Research was conducted by Signicent’s Technology Scouting team for novel solutions for scalp-friendly hair coloring and protection for addressing problems in traditional practices. Through the research, we investigated different formulations and technologies to improve the hair coloring experience, including hair care treatment options.
We strive to uncover insights for safer, more enjoyable hair coloring, benefiting consumers and professionals.
Day-To-Day Challenges:
Understanding scalp irritation:
- Scalp Irritation: The stinging sensation due to dyeing represents a commonly overlooked discomfort, especially scalp irritation caused by chemicals like Ammonia, Oxygenated water, and specific dyes such as Paraphenylenediamine (PPD). These symptoms may include itching, burning irritation, and scalp redness.
- Beyond scalp irritation, consumers might face hair damage from processing, uneven color application especially on complex shades or previously colored hair, frustrating color fading over time, and even allergic reactions.
Few Innovative Solutions:
The proposed strategy integrates safety measures and diverse perspectives to provide Technology Intelligence related solutions that meet the client’s objective for efficacy, colorfastness, and cost-effectiveness goals.
For a gentler hair coloring experience, specific ingredients are chosen to minimize scalp irritation:
- Solvents in hair coloring formulations, such as propylene glycol, ethanolamine, isopropyl alcohol, propylene carbonate, and glycerin, serve to dissolve dyes and other ingredients while minimizing scalp irritation.
To ensure a pleasant hair coloring procedure:
- Propylene glycol is used that keeps moisture levels stable.
- Ethanolamine offers stability.
- Isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly.
- Propylene carbonate has minimal toxicity, and
- Glycerin is used that acts as a humectant.
Specific compounds and concentrations:
- Hair coloring formulations are influenced by specific compounds and concentrations, which determine their effectiveness and longevity.
- Formulations for hair coloring consist of diverse chemicals and dyes that react differently to pH levels and the oxygenated water that is frequently used in these Ingredients.
Below these are some common ingredients include:
- Ammonia or ethanolamine to open the hair cuticle.
- Oxygenated water as a developer.
- P-phenylenediamine (PPD) for coloring.
- Resorcinol to increase color intensity.
- pH adjusters such citric acid, and moisturizing agents like Glycerin.
These ingredients work together to give effective and gentle hair coloring while minimizing scalp irritation.
For instance, maintaining the appropriate pH levels is crucial for achieving vibrant and long-lasting color results.
Storage Condition:
Manufacturers design their products with stability in mind, considering factors like heat, light, and air exposure to ensure proper storage conditions.
Colour-Efficency:
- Color-protecting and color-fixing agents serve two key purposes: enhancing the adsorption fastness of dye molecules on the hair and complexing lost dyes in the solution.
- When customers use hair coloring products, they incorporate color-protection and shade-fixing agents to improve color retention and stability, which interact with hair’s natural characteristics for safe, long-lasting results.
