Polyquaternium11 Impact on Hair

On the Effect of Polyquaternary Ammonium Salt-11 on Hair
Polyquaternary Ammonium Salt-11 is also a common ingredient in hair products. Its impact on hair has been widely discussed in the academic and industry.

Looking at its benefits, Polyquaternary Ammonium Salt-11 has excellent cationic properties. This property makes it firmly adsorbed on the surface of the hair, because the surface of the hair is usually negatively charged. After adsorption, a uniform protective film can be formed, making the surface of the hair smooth, reducing friction between the hair strands, smoothing when combing, and not easy to tangle. And this protective film can improve the gloss of the hair, making it more shiny and moving, as if it were naturally shining.

Furthermore, polyquaternary ammonium salt-11 also contributes to hair moisturization. Its structure contains hydrophilic groups, which can absorb and retain water from the surrounding environment, replenish water for the hair, and prevent the hair from becoming rough and fragile due to dryness. In this way, the hair can maintain a certain moisture content, maintain softness and elasticity, just like a moist thread, and feel excellent.

However, there are also doubts about the view. Some people believe that the long-term frequent use of products containing polyquaternary ammonium salt-11 may cause excessive accumulation in the hair. Although the amount is limited each time, the cumulative effect cannot be underestimated over the years. After excessive accumulation, or change the original surface properties of the hair, the hair becomes heavy, loses the feeling of lightness, seems to be suppressed by heavy objects, and no longer has vitality.

In addition, although polyquaternary ammonium salt-11 usually has good safety, it may cause allergic reactions to some people with sensitive skin and hair. It is manifested as itchy scalp, redness, and even abnormal hair loss and other symptoms. Although this is a rare case, it cannot be ignored.

To sum up, polyquaternary ammonium salt-11 has both advantages and disadvantages on the hair. Users should choose products containing this ingredient reasonably according to their own hair condition, grasp the frequency and dosage of use, so as to enhance their strengths and avoid weaknesses and achieve the purpose of maintaining hair.
