In a consumer study involving 90 participants with wavy or curly hair, positive results were reported at the 8-hour mark: 68% felt that frizz was minimized, and 91% confirmed that shine was maintained. The average rating reached 8.0/10 at the end of the evaluation. On ex vivo hair strands, a single application significantly reduced frizz by 30%.
Up to 8 hours of curl definition
Evaluated using a multi-parameter approach, Liftilience immediately enhances the definition of natural curls, with all-day hold. A preliminary study on naturally curly hair strands demonstrates an immediate improvement that lasts up to 8 hours after application. An evaluation by expert hairstylists, combining visual and tactile criteria, also confirms the bounce and hold. Immediate effect observed.
30% reduction in frizz %

Volunteers confirmed these observations at 8 hours, and hair shine remained, as reported by 91% of participants. These results apply to textured hair.
Helical biopolymers and their use in formulations
Derived from chestnuts, this active ingredient is based on functionalized helical biopolymers. It combines film-forming properties, shrinkage power, and adhesion. This three-pronged approach underpins the definition and bounce of curls, as well as frizz control. The positioning of hair care formulas designed for textured hair is clear. A key consideration for formulators.
