The Trichology of Texture
True biological mimicry requires more than visual resemblance. It demands a molecular reconstruction of the cuticle shaft.
Structural Integrity
Standard industry processing involves aggressive acid baths ("acid-washing") which strips the cuticle layer entirely, rendering the hair lifeless and prone to matting. This requires a silicone coating to simulate health—a temporary illusion.
Industry Standard
The Strand + Source Standard
We verify unidirectional cuticle alignment under 300x magnification. This ensures light reflects uniformly along the shaft, identical to healthy biological hair.
Zero-Chemical Steam Manipulation
Rather than breaking disulphide bonds with harsh perms to create texture, we use high-pressure steam over wooden dowels. This physically sets the memory of the curl into the cortex without compromising tensile strength.
Refractive Index (Luster)
Interact to compare light absorption levels.
