Technical Details & Test Data

Test Data: Figure 1: Curl Retention

2% active silicone level of DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style outperformed 2% active of Acrylate Copolymer and Control, at 95% confidence.

Figure 2: Curl Memory

DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style provided better curl memory or spring back than an Acrylate Copolymer, a commercial benchmark (containing styling polymers and an amino silicone), and a control when used at 2% active, at 95% confidence.

Figure 3: Curl Definition

After 5 hours at 70% humidity, 2% active silicone level of DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style tresses treated with a leave-in conditioner were more defined than a control, 2% active of Acrylate Copolymer, at 99% confidence, and commercial benchmark, at 95% confidence.

Figure 4: Smoothness

DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style exhibited a smoother feel than an Acrylate Copolymer, at 90% confidence and control, at 95% confidence, when both used at 1% active in a mousse formulation.
