QUATTRO detangles, replenishes hair mass, nourishes, moisturizes, softens, and protects hair against heat damage.
Curly and coily hair are characterized by a lack of alignment, increased volume, and difficulty combing. Curls and coils are also naturally more susceptible to tangles, damage, and breakage.
QUATTRO is a vegetable emulsion made from plant-derived ingredients, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vegetable proteins and polymers that form a protective film over the cuticle, deeply nourishing and conditioning the strands, improving detangling and preventing the formation of fairy knots. It is an active ingredient that meets the specific needs of type 3 and 4 hair, prioritizing the integrity and beauty of curly and coily hair.
"Untangles and prevents fairy knots from forming."
Two strands of type 3C - 4A hair were selected for the study. One strand was treated with placebo leave-on, while the other with leave-on containing 2% QUATTRO, and then subjected to heat-induced calorimetric analysis (DSC).
Analysis of thermograms (DSC) revealed the energy required for water evaporation. A 7.5% increase in water evaporation energy was observed in hair treated with QUATTRO, demonstrating its ability to retain moisture.
QUATTRO demonstrated greater thermal protection, evidenced by a 14% increase in the energy required to denature the α-keratin of the strand compared to placebo.
Detangling was measured using Instron equipment. QUATTRO leave-on (2%) improved the detangling of wet coily hair by 28% (1.4 times smoother compared to placebo leave-on).
Lower fluorescence intensity indicates greater active ingredient penetration into damaged hair areas:
Hair treated with 2% QUATTRO showed significantly LOWER fluorescence intensity, confirming deep penetration, fiber healing, and mass replacement.
Evaluates softness of hair fibers under compression.
The formula with QUATTRO improved hair softness by 34% (20% superior to placebo).
In creating QUATTRO, we used upcycling technology to recover valuable molecules from the waste of chia seed processing, developing an innovative solution that contributes to a greener future.
A careful synergistic combination of natural actives designed to restore curly and coily hair integrity:
Salvia hispanica
Rich in omega-3, proteins, and mucilage soluble fibers that seal moisture and cuticles, rebuilding hair fiber tension and restoring natural shine.
Simmondsia chinensis
Molecular structure mimics natural scalp sebum, penetrating deeply to replenish essential lipids and balance hair hydration.
Cyamopsis tetragonolobus
Natural conditioning agent that forms a protective film around strands, preventing dryness and delivering an ultra-silky touch.
