What quats are best for improving wet/dry combing?
Hair is ‘happiest’ when it is hydrophobic, so the more fatty or lipophilic the quat is, the more likely it is to improve the hair’s combing properties. Croda has a wide range of high-performance quats, many of which are based on novel chemistry. Recommended for both wet and dry combing: INCROQUAT BEHENYL 18-MEA, a derivative of the primary lipid of the hair, helps replenish lost lipids in the hair to make it more hydrophobic and less susceptible to surface damage. Recommended for wet combing: Known as The Great Detangler, INCROQUAT BEHENYL TMS (Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetearyl Alcohol) is the Industry choice for wet combing.
