TITLE: 360° Approach to Touchable Hair

The hair care market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with post-damage hair treatments leading the way. Understanding what types of damage occurs in hair and how to develop effective conditioning strategies is a must for every formulator. Set the cetrimonium chloride aside and expand your toolbox of ingredients that Valerie loves (or develop a newfound appreciation for the ones you already use). We’ll talk about the perception of hair health like you’ve never heard it before, leaving you feeling confident to formulate products that even a salon professional would approve of. Get ready for a 360° approach to hair conditioning!
