Researchers from Aveda and Bumble and bumble, along with the University of Bradford (Aveda’s research collaborator), presented their latest findings at the 13th World Congress for Hair Research (WCHR), which recently concluded in Dallas, TX.
The research from the brands—which are both owned by The Estée Lauder Companies—included four focus areas: identifying potent ingredients and analyzing their phytochemical compositions, examining how ingredients and environmental factors affect hair fibers, exploring methods to promote visibly healthier and more youthful scalp conditions, and reducing hair color damage to enable self-expression.
In addition, Aveda’s lead pharmacognosist Dr. Alison Pawlus, presented her investigation into the process on botanical ingredient selection aimed at promoting visibly healthy hair and scalp aging. Her presentation was titled: "Development of Botanical Solutions for Scalp Health and Healthy Hair Aging.”
Additional presentations included:
“Assessing the Impact of Glycerin on Hair Fiber Properties,” Anwar Zahar;
“Holistic Approach to Oxidative Stress for Scalp and Hair Follicle Health,” Pawlus;
“Cultured Dermal Papilla and Dermal Sheath Cells from Female Scalp Express Significantly Different Transcriptional and Proteomic Profiles with Age,” Richard Baker; and
“Amine Derivatives with Electron Donors as Hair Colorant Alkalizers in Reducing Hair Fiber Damage,” Jeanna Zguris, PhD
