Repair of damaged hair protein fiber by jointly using transglutaminase and keratin

Abstract: This study focuses on the repair of damaged hair with the joint use of transglutaminase (TG enzyme) and keratin. We first prepared a TG-keratin repair solution with reasonable wool keratin and TG enzyme concentration, and used the soaking process to repair the damaged hair so as to modify protein fibers. We, then, measured the alkali solubility, fracture stress and strain, and swelling rate of the hair samples, before and after the treatment. The results showed that after treatment, samples' alkali solubility … Show more

“…The samples were randomly analyzed within a 10 μm×10 μm area by the cantilever of the AFM with SPM‐9700 (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan) scanner of 30 μm. The scanning model used was the contact, and the tips used were of SiNi type with a resonance frequency equal to 10 kHz and a constant of elasticity of 0.06 N.m −1 provided by NanoWorld [47,48] …”

“…The combination of TG-KRS produced the best results in smoothing the damaged hair's surface using AFM pictures, it was determined (Fig 9). It demonstrates that the application of the TG-KRS combined repair solution to damaged hair induces a significant amount of keratin or keratin peptides to cross-link into those places under the control of the TG enzyme or by protein disulfide bond recombination [47]. Another study looked at the effects of five different pentapeptide types with varied amino acid sequences on hair restoration.…”
