What are the components of silk?
Silks are normally known as proteic polymers, that are found in glands of the silkworm and are woven to fibers during metamorphose. The strings of the silkworm have been used for 4000 years in the textile industry and are highly appreciated due to their soft, sparkling shine and their good mechanical characteristics.
Silk consists of two main proteins: silk fibroin and sericin. The sticky sericin surrounds the fibroin, it is generally soluble and can be removed through a thermochemical treatment.
Sericin is added to many beauty products since it protects the skin and hair surface and moisturizes.
Silk fibroin has excellent mechanical characteristics, a shiny surface, good biocompatibility, and is biodegradable. The semi-cristalline structure of the fiber protein ensures stability, resistance, and durabilty.
Why is liquid silk being used for hair care?
