Abstract

Hair products like hair styling gels, straight irons, curling irons along with other similar tools cause the hair shaft to become damaged and brittle, dry, and causing split ends. In this work we have revealed the application of organic, natural UV-protective substances such as grape seed oil and marshmallow root extract (Resha Khatmi).and grape seed oil which acts great on dry hairs and helps in easy detangling as well as softening of the hair as well as has Anti- UV effect. Grapeseed oil helps strengthens weak or brittle hair and contains tocopherol (vitamin E) which has great anti-oxidant property and protects against UV damage, and De-Frizz the hair. Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein which increases cystine content is used which smoothens and moisturizes the hairs. This work also comprised of extraction of marshmallow root and evaluation of formulation.
