Investigating clay minerals enhances mechanical properties and aesthetics of hair care formulations, indicating a potential for improved treatments.

Mechanical properties of hair fibres improved significantly with commercial clays in formulations.
XRF and XRD analyses revealed bentonite and muscovite phases in clays, confirming their composition.
Observational analysis on solid shampoos and conditioners showed clay B yielding a 94% improvement in strength.
These findings highlight the promising role of clay minerals in enhancing hair care products' performance.
