“Most studies of hair technology have focused on general aspects — that is European hair. Here 29 articles reprinted from Cosmetics & Toiletries consider specific hair physiological differences of people with other backgrounds, and the chemicals and combinations that work best with them. In sections on biology, ingredients, products, and testing, they explore such topics as approaches to and characterization of hair growth, ethnic hair and scalp disorders, hair and amino acids, improving hair color retention using quat functional olefin-graft polymers, applying t-flavanone to treat female pattern baldness, innovations in hair styling technology, and certifying hair product claims."
