Takara Belmont's new hair analysis technology will revolutionise haircare

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 -- Takara Belmont Corporation (Takara Belmont) has developed a new technology for analysing hair, leading to the discovery of structural changes in the medulla, the central part of hair previously largely not visible to researchers.

As a result, it has developed a new hair care system, designated ‘Hair Medulla Care’, which beautifies hair by reconstructing the medulla.

Looking ahead, Takara Belmont will build on these findings to deepen scientific knowledge of the medulla, with a view to applying the research in new hair care products.

The research findings were selected for a prestigious oral presentation at the 31st IFSCC Congress 2020 Yokohama, the academic conference of the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists, held online recently.

Hair structure is generally divided into three regions: the cuticle on the outside, the cortex, and then the medulla core.

The Takara Belmont Cosmetics Laboratory has developed a new hair-sectioning technology for directly observing the internal structure in order to analyse the medulla in detail. Takara Belmont will pursue further research into Hair Medulla Care and investigate a variety of hair conditions in addition to graying in order to accelerate medulla research and its application to products. Going forward, the company will create new technologies and new value, apply them to merchandise and services, and spread the hope of beauty by responding to the hair-related concerns of people worldwide.
