BICOHAIR® TECHNOLOGY

BICOHAIR®: DUAL ACTION FOR ADVANCED HAIR CARE

Bicohair® is a Bicosome® technology specifically developed for hair care. Its innovative delivery system is designed to interact with the hair through electrostatic interactions, allowing the Bicohair® vesicles to adhere to the hair cuticle and form a protective layer against external aggressors.

Bicohair® also takes a new approach to reinforcing the hair’s lipid structure, which plays an important role in maintaining the cohesion and integrity of the hair fibre.

Dual Structure – HOW IT WORKS:

Bicohair® features a dual structure designed to act on both the surface and inside the hair fibre.

The Bicohair® vesicles adhere to the hair cuticle, coating the hair shaft and helping protect it from external aggressors. At the same time, the smart discs penetrate between the cuticle layers, helping reinforce the hair’s lipid structure and enabling the delivery of active ingredients into the cortex.

Two structures. Two complementary actions. One advanced approach to healthier-looking, more resilient hair.

BICOHAIR® CUTICLE PROTECTION & REPAIR

Bicohair® structures are designed to penetrate through the spaces between the hair cuticles, helping to restore and reinforce the hair’s lipid structure. By supporting the lipid structure between the cuticles, Bicohair® promotes cuticle cohesion, helping to close and protect the hair fibre while improving its overall condition.

STRONG HAIR ADHERENCE AND WASH-OFF RESISTANCE

Bicohair® adheres to the hair through electrostatic interactions, providing uniform coverage of the hair fibre and helping to retain active ingredients after washing.

The videos below compare hair samples incubated for 5 hours with three different test samples, followed by a 2-minute shampoo wash, a 1-minute water rinse, and drying.

The green fluorescence indicates the presence of hydrophilic molecules adhered to the hair, while the red fluorescence indicates hydrophobic molecules.

The results show that molecules delivered by Bicohair® remain effectively retained on and within the hair shaft after washing, demonstrating the technology’s strong hair adherence and wash-off resistance.
