Hair is composed of keratin proteins, held together by disulfide bonds. These bonds are crucial for maintaining hair’s strength and resilience. Daily exposure to chemical treatments, heat styling, and a myriad of environmental factors can break these bonds, leading to weakened and damaged hair.
The Role of Disulfide Bonds
Disulfide bonds act as molecular anchors within the hair fibers. When these bonds are intact, hair is strong and flexible. Broken disulfide bonds compromise hair’s structure, making it susceptible to breakage. Repairing these bonds is essential for restoring hair health.
Thiol Recombination:
A Revolutionary Approach
Thiol recombination involves using specially designed sulfur-reactive compounds, to restore disulfide bonds in hair. This method is highly effective because it directly addresses damage at the molecular level, effectively reforming these critical bonds and restoring hair's natural strength and flexibility.

FUNCTION
Rebuilds disulfide bonds, restoring hair's natural strength and flexibility.
BENEFITS
Significantly improves hair elasticity and reduces breakage. Studies show that hair treated with Aminalyl-S has a notable decrease in e-modulus, indicating increased flexibility and resilience.
FUNCTION
Enhances hair resilience by repairing internal bonds and protects hair from damage.
BENEFITS
Increases hair's tensile strength and overall health. Clinical tests demonstrate that Pro-Amino-X effectively reduces tensile strength at 15% extension, reducing brittleness and enhancing manageability besides future-proofing the repaired hair fibers from any damage.

Elastic Modulus (E-Modulus):
Significant reduction in E-modulus indicates increased hair flexibility. Hair treated with ANATOMY® molecules showed a substantial decrease of their E-modulus, making it more elastic and less prone to breakage.
Tensile Strength:
Lower tensile strength at 15% extension signifies reduced brittleness.
