Hair Care Product Selection Guide

2

The hair care industry demands increasingly ingenious solutions … solutions that are anything but ordinary. That’s because consumers

have become more sophisticated, demanding and diverse. They seek better products for cleaning, conditioning, styling and coloring their hair. Furthermore, products must be tailored for different hair types and hairstyles as well as for different age groups, ethnicities, cultures, climates and desires around the world.

Building on our strength in silicon-based technology and more than 30 years of experience in the hair care industry,

Dow Corning delivers innovative solutions that address a wide range of hair care needs. We have solutions that meet your formulating challenges.

Broad, Versatile Solutions for Hair Care

Color Protection – More people are using colorants to hide gray hair, embrace fashions or express individuality. Because colorants can cause damage, it is important for hair to retain its natural, radiant and healthy appearance. Dow Corning provides solutions to protect against color fade from shampooing and sunlight and to condition colored hair. Additionally, they deliver extra shine, body, smoothness, softness and manageability.

Hair Care Solutions from Dow Corning: Out of the Ordinary. Above the Expected.

XIAMETER®Dow Corning®

Look to Dow Corning’s application expertise for personalized service and support: � For new materials and sample formulations during product development

� For custom or unique formulations � For product and process assistance and troubleshooting

Silky smoothness. Shine. Bounce. Frizz control. Volume. These are just some of the qualities your customers are looking for from your hair care products. The properties of silicones make them

uniquely suited to provide many of these qualities. Dow Corning and XIAMETER offer you a dependable supply of high-quality, innovative silicone hair care products.

Look to XIAMETER’s web-based order processing system: � For standard silicones used in a proven formulation and process

� For reliable supply � For market-based pricing � For “self-serve” convenience

Hair Strengthening – Hair damage comes not only from treatments such as styling, coloring, heating or straightening, but also from repeated washing, drying, brushing and combing. And the damage is cumulative. Dow Corning offers an array of excellent detangling and conditioning solutions. We also provide materials that deliver hair strengthening benefits in both leave-in and rinse applications to help prevent further damage and breakage.

Lightweight Conditioning – With aging populations, more people have thinning, fine and short hair. Many are concerned about hair damage but anxious about over-conditioning. They seek products that clean, condition and style without leaving their hair heavy, limp, dull or greasy. Dow Corning has the solution – a series of lightweight conditioning materials that detangle hair without leaving a heavy or greasy feel. Plus, these materials provide extra body and volume with reduced flyaway hair or frizz.

Flexible Styling – Consumers with curly hair typically seek a natural, soft, bouncy look. This can be difficult to achieve as curls tangle, break and become frizzy, particularly in more extreme climates and environments. Dow Corning has new, patented technologies that provide the right balance of flexible hold and conditioning that is ideal for leave-in conditioners and styling aids. These technologies also add strength and protect hair against heat styling and frizz.

Ethnic Hair Care – Around the world, ethnic groups have fundamentally different hair care needs and expecta-tions. African and Hispanic hair tends to be more curly, kinky, fragile and dry. Products that moisturize and straighten are often desired. Asian hair is generally straighter, thicker, longer and stronger. These consumers favor products that add shine, alignment and smoothness.

Through our broad and versatile range of solutions, Dow Corning can help formulators meet the needs of varying consumer groups.

Two Ways to Help You Succeed Dow Corning® brand and XIAMETER® brand from Dow Corning
