Professional Hair Care Products And The Affects Of Nanotechnology
Richard Palmer
Nanotechnology. nan'otechnol'ogee n.
Smaller than 100 nanometers, this is the branch of engineering that deals with the manipulation of individual molecules.
Engineering, chemistry, electronics, and medicine all embrace this technology. Since it is the science and technology of precisely manipulating the structure of matter at the molecular level, it brings existing technologies down to a very small scale, measured in nanometers.
Up until recently, most industrial products are created by pushing piles of millions of atoms together-by mixing, grinding, heating-a very imprecise process. With the ability to manipulate molecules that measure a mere billionth of a meter, the options are unlimited. With the advances in nanotechnology, scientists can now pick up individual atoms to assemble them into simple structures or cause specific chemical reactions. (The prefix nano- comes from the Greek word nanos, which meant "little old man" or "dwarf.") Nanotubes made of carbon are being investigated for a variety of industrial and research purposes. Propellers have been attached to molecular motors, and electricity has been conducted through nanowires.
In the future, nanotechnology may be able to harness the forces that operate at the scale of the nanometer, such as the van der Waals force, as well as changes in the quantum states of particles, for new engineering purposes. The development of nanotechnology holds out great promise of improvements in the quality of life, including new treatments for disease and greater efficiency in computer data storage and processing.
For example, tiny autonomous robots, or nanobots, may one day be sent into human bodies to repair cells and cure cancers, perhaps even extending the human life span by many years. The simple devices created by nanotechnology so far have not yet approached the complexity of the envisioned nanomachines and nanobots.
Some scientists even see a dark side to the technology, emphasizing the need for caution in its development, particularly in attempts to create nanobots that can replicate themselves like living organisms.
"Quoted from Dictionary.com"
Technologically, the hair and salon industry is not wasting any time bring this phenomenon to the fore.
For the entire history of cleansing the human hair shaft and scalp, professional hair care products have been relegated to perform on a topical level. Molecules of such size that their ability to penetrate the hair shaft has been limited to the delicate game of chemical invasion by way of perms and colors.
Perms and colors have always relied on the chemical process to open the hair shaft to do their job. Professional hair care products have performed in this manner since the early part of the last century. "Neutralizing" or stopping the chemical process was then performed to halt the chemical process, and topical conditioners were the only option to try to return the hair shaft to it's previous state.
The chemical process has always had the downside of "blossoming the hair shaft - causing what we see as frizz. Conditioners, smoothing products, and moisturizers help to smooth the cuticle layer, but never fully return it to it's previous pre-chemical lustre.
As the world of professional hair care products evolves, we will see nanotechnology play an ever increasing role. Minimizing chemical damage while maximizing health and shine.
We can anticipate every major professional hair care product manufacturer will undoubtedly embrace this technology. Molecules that measure a billionth of a meter are logically more capable of follicle penetration and will result in better, more effective products.
Pureology Nanoworks leads the industry. Nanoworks Shampoo and Conditioner, along with Nanoglaze, Nanoworks Restorative Treatment, Nanoworks ShineLuxe, and NanoWax - all remarkable products that have set the bar very high for their competitors. Truly in a class by themselves.
Though these products are by far our most luxurious and expensive, we find at
www.SalonProDirect.com that the premium price does not deter our customers at all. Overwhelming positive feedback and excellent results are all we hear in return for the premium price.
So as we see professional hair care products move from the simple world of healthful, pH balanced formulations that we have all come to recognize since the heyday of Vidal Sassoon, we will see the majority of major players embrace this new Nanotechnology and bring even better and broader lines - stay tuned.
