A new supermaterial that has revolutionized the beauty market is the graphene dye, which does not cause hair damage. According to scientists, the vast majority of dyes contain a large amount of chemicals that deteriorate the outer layers of the hair to change its color. However, this new option allows the hair to be covered with small graphene colored particles.
The developers of the product have taken advantage of the geometry of the graphene sheets to replace the chemical compounds of traditional dyes, for a much more flexible product that wraps the hair evenly. In their manufacturing process they have used non-toxic edible polymer that allows the graphene to be maintained for at least 30 washes and to be adhered perfectly to the hair, allowing it to be included in the category of permanent dyes.
The tones that could be achieved with the graphene dye will allow a brown color to reach absolute black, although it is possible to illuminate with an ultraviolet light so that the tone is lighter. Unfortunately it has not been tested on human heads, only it has been used on samples of human hair, checking resistance to many washes without affecting their appearance.
In the industry many applications of this supermaterial have been found but for its development it is required that graphene is structurally perfect. There is where the difference lies, since the dye only requires a property and it is its black color. In the elaboration of the dye, graphene oxide was used, which is the most economical and easy to obtain oxidized derivative.
In principle, it is designed to cover blonde or white to black hair. According to reports on the product. Its creators ensure that this dye is not toxic, has antibacterial, antistatic properties and the application is very simple, since you should just apply it with a spray, brush the hair and then dry it.
Additionally, this method does not need the use of toxic solvents, extreme heat or other molecular ingredients therefore it is harmless to your hair. Graphene forms a soft layer around each hair. This dye does not penetrate the inner layers of the hair, it is only covered with a thin layer of 2 microns of the product.
The benefits of the graphene dye, in addition to its durability is that it does not deteriorate hair, according to the inventors, each hair is covered and by a layer capable of conducting heat and electricity, therefore it dissipates static eliminating the annoying hair curling. According to experts, the material will disappear completely after approximately 30 washes, leaving hair in its original state.
Although it is not available in the market because the corresponding tests are being performed, it is expected that in a short time it can be acquired in stores, promising to revolutionize the market due to its low cost, its antistatic, antibacterial properties and mainly for not being toxic, not damaging hair and being durable, in addition to allowing hair to return to its original color once it exceeds 30 washes.
