Research on Hair Cuticle Management

Hair cuticle management presents unique challenges in both professional and consumer contexts. Studies show that mechanical damage from daily grooming can raise cuticle scales by up to 180 degrees from their natural position, while thermal styling can cause delamination at temperatures above 185°C. These structural changes affect both the appearance and health of the hair shaft.

The fundamental challenge lies in developing tools and techniques that can effectively manage the cuticle layer while minimizing mechanical and thermal damage to the hair structure.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including bristle designs with specialized protrusions for cuticle alignment, automated dyeing systems with controlled product distribution, and thermal tools with integrated protection mechanisms. These and other approaches focus on maintaining cuticle integrity while delivering effective styling and treatment results.
