Hair Strengthening Solutions

Enhance Hair Strengthening Benefits

Heat, styling, and color treatments are not the only causes of hair damage. Even common grooming habits like washing, towel drying, and brushing can cause hair breakage. As a result, consumers seek remedies that restore the overall condition and strength of their hair. They want products that protect and make hair more resilient – keeping it smooth, shiny, and feeling healthy.

Deliver innovative products for stronger hair with silicones from Dow Corning

We evaluated several of our leading silicones for hair strengthening benefits using single fiber tensile measurements. Hair fibers treated with these

Dow Corning® silicones exhibited higher load compared to fibers not treated with silicone, demonstrating hair strengthening benefits in both leave-in and
rinse-off applications.
