THE FORTIFYING EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTIVE FRUIT CONCENTRATE ON HAIR

The problem - garnier.com

Active Fruit Concentrate is rich in natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's) to strengthen hair fiber and leave it smooth and shiny.

  • Olive, avocado, apricot and rice vegetable oils nourish and nurture hair
  • Antioxidant-rich grape water extract helps defend skin from external aggressors.

Combing is the most significant stress hair endures. To help restore and strengthen hair, Garnier Laboratories have developed a unique Active Fruit Concentrate.

The problem

Three mechanical actions are involved in combing hair:

  1. Extension when the comb stretches hair
  2. Abrasion from the friction between hair fibers when in contact with the comb
  3. Flexion by coiling hairs over each other and around the comb

The solution: Active Fruit Concentrate

Alpha Hydroxy Acids are an original chemical family found in fruits:
malic acid in apples, citric acid in citrus fruit, and tartaric acid in grapes.

Fructis© Active Fruit Concentrate contains citric acid as well as
fruit extracts comprising several AHAs.

Treating weakened hair with Active Fruit Concentrate helps restore
its mechanical resistance while leaving it smoother and shinier.

Stronger hair

After 10 applications of Active Fruit Concentrate, the mechanical resistance of damaged hair reaches the same level as natural hair. Moreover, the effect is lasting: after 10 shampoos, mechanical resistance maintains its natural-hair level.

The flexabrasion test

The Haircare Laboratories have developed a device that realistically reproduces the daily stresses inflicted on hair. The flexabrasion test measures these aggressions and subsequently checks the effectiveness of Active Fruit Concentrate in improving the mechanical resistance of sensitized hair.

A hair is made taut by attaching a weight to one end. It's then looped over the tooth of a comb. The device moves it back and forth at a set amplitude and frequency.

The hair's resistance is measured by how long it takes for the hair to break. Treated with Active Fruit Concentrate, hair takes longer to break because it is stronger.

Smoother hair

Active Fruit Concentrate has remarkable smoothing effectiveness: after five applications, hair is three times smoother.

Sonometer test

A comb is connected to a microphone then repeatedly pulled through a lock of hair. This process produces sounds that are then recorded.

The level of smoothness is inversely proportional to the level of recorded sound. The louder the sound, the less smooth the hair. Thanks to Active Fruit Concentrate, the sound level is lower because hair is smoother.
