About hair care technology

Growth is the commercial core of the work on Halo, approached through delivery into the follicle, fungal and microbial actives, and the gut. Around it sits an unusually large amount of infrastructure: five imaging platforms that measure a scalp and five screening systems that test a compound before anyone applies it. On Halo it spans five groups, including conditioning and shaping the fiber, measuring the scalp, and screening for a hair compound.

Stage of development. Work on hair care technology on Halo comes mostly from companies. 46% of the solutions are in market. Co-development and sponsored research are the usual partnering routes, and about 41% of the solutions that state terms offer pilot engagements.

Three trends in hair care technology on Halo

More infrastructure than product. Fourteen entries measure or model, and treat nothing: five imaging platforms reading follicular density off a scalp, five screening systems from 384-well assays to ex vivo human follicles, and four simulations of how a formulation meets the fiber. Hair growth claims are hard to prove and easy to dispute, and this is what that costs.

Delivery into the follicle, not onto the scalp. Three entries carry an active down into the follicle, where a serum would sit on the surface: silica microparticles releasing nitric oxide to raise blood flow, the same platform carrying a conventional active with sustained release, and a nanoparticle system claiming faster and denser growth. A fourth works from the inside entirely, through gut probiotics.

The measurement is becoming the product. Two entries sell scalp imaging to clinics and brands, one runs a remote regrowth clinical trial off a phone, one reads PGD2 and DKK1 out of follicle secretions through a nanopore, and one guides a home root touch-up with spectral imaging. The same sensing supports a diagnosis, a trial endpoint and a retail experience.

Frequently asked questions

What is hair care technology?

Hair care technology covers the follicle and the fiber, and telling one problem from the other. It spans actives and delivery systems aimed at growth, imaging and sensing that measure a scalp, the assays and models used to screen a compound before it reaches a person, simulation of how a product meets the fiber, conditioning and shaping chemistry, and the devices a salon or a consumer operates.

What are examples of hair care technology?
