FIBERHANCE™ BM SOLUTION

Today, hair straightening, styling, coloring and lightening treatments are increasing. This leads to systematic damage to hair strands. Consequently, the market for products aimed at repairing damaged hair is growing day by day.

Fiberhance ™ BM Solution emerges as a new-innovative patented active ingredient developed to strengthen damaged hair. With its low molecular weight and unique chemical structure, this product can easily penetrate the cortex layer in hair strands. By penetrating the cortex layer easily, it enables the reconstruction of damaged hydrogen and ionic bonds in damaged hair. Looking at the in-depth working mechanism of Fiberhance ™ BM Solution, the α-helix protein structures present in hair strands are responsible for providing resistance in hair. In damaged and processed hair, this α-helix structure is disrupted, and existing bonds break or are damaged. Specially designed to optimize these chemical bonds in hair strands, Fiberhance™ BM Solution easily penetrates deeply and provides restructuring inside and around the disrupted structures (Dual Mechanisms). Fiberhance ™ BM Solution, which can be easily applied to shampoos and rinse-out or leave-in hair conditioners, has been proven by superior performance tests to provide up to 3-fold resistance gain in damaged hair strands within the first 3 applications. Its patented structure has been proven by Fluorescence Microscopy analysis to easily penetrate hair strands. This working principle and high repair capability of Fiberhance ™ BM Solution led to the emergence of Plex product groups. Particularly its role as the foundation of Plex No.1 Bond Multiplier product demonstrates the mechanism of action of this ingredient.Figure 2: In continuous combing tests conducted on damaged hair with shampoo containing Fiberhance™ BM Solution, after 7 washes, the breakage rate in hair strands visibly decreased. Premium Hair Strengthening Shampoo Support formulas have been created by Ashland.

Process

1. Phase A: N-Hance 3196 is dispersed in water. 2. Citric acid is added. 3. Phase B: Carbomer is swollen in water and citric acid is added. 4. Phase C: Products are mixed in sequence. 5. Surfactants are added in order. 6. Phase D: Desired pH and viscosity are adjusted. The process is completed.
