“…From an analytical chemistry point of view, hair care products are considered to be complicated matrices containing numerous organic and inorganic compounds, thus requiring extra sample cleanup steps prior to the end-point analysis. Representative recent analytical applications in hair care products are presented in Table 1 [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. As can be seen in the examples of Table 1 , solid- or liquid-phase extraction steps are quite common even when sophisticated LC-MS instrumentation is employed, while dry ashing/wet digestion are necessary for the determination of inorganic analytes.…”
