Design da formulação máscara capilar contendo peptídeo derivado de reação com ácido acético para cabelos quimicamente tratados.

Abstract

The hair fiber is exposed daily to several factors that cause harm to the strands. The main causes of hair damage are the result of chemical procedures that affect the shaft at all its extremities. This damage is caused by ultraviolet radiation, combing, brushing, excessive heat from flat irons and hair dryers, straightening, bleaching, and painting, resulting in damaged cuticles and deterioration of the cortex. Thus, hair cosmetics are of great importance to reduce this damage, since they are developed in order to provide the restructuring of damaged hair. In this context, the present work is based on a systematic literature review that comprises a survey of researches that substantiate the importance of the use of peptides in hair cosmetics. It also highlights the use of acetic acid as an organic solvent in the synthesis of peptides for the composition of hair products. In this perspective, this study presents a formulation design of a hair mask containing peptides derived from reaction with acetic acid for chemically treated hair.
