Abstract:

With the development of hair cosmetics, many new raw materials have been developed and widely applied. More and more raw materials such as proteins and polypeptides have been applied in a variety of hair cosmetics, including shampoos, hair conditioners, hair masks, etc. Adding some proteins or polypeptides into hair cosmetics can effectively improve the mechanical strength, flexibility and hydrophobicity of hair, so they have repair effects on photoaging and chemical damage such as hair reduction during perming and hair bleaching during coloring. In this review, the research progress of hair care materials based on proteins and polypeptides was introduced, including the sources, extraction methods, hair care mechanism, hair care effect, etc. This review could provide a guideline for the research and development of hair care materials based on proteins and polypeptides.

Key words: protein, polypeptide, hair care
