Implication

This investigation shows that incorporating clay minerals into hair care products significantly improves mechanical properties in hair, suggesting they enhance overall effectiveness.

Key Points

Mechanical properties were notably improved with clay incorporation, with clay B showing the greatest enhancement.
X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed high silica content and identified specific clay phases, including montmorillonite and muscovite.
Formulations utilized concentrations of 0.5%, 1.5%, and 3.0%, resulting in a 94% strength increase at optimal levels.
These findings highlight the potential of clay minerals in hair care formulations, warranting further exploration on their benefits.
