01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM
Damaged hair needs measurable reinforcement and breakage reduction, not an unsupported surface-repair claim.
Cationic chitosan can preferentially deposit on negatively charged damaged regions and form a protective surface film for mechanical-performance testing.
A bio-based surface film for reinforcing damaged fibers and reducing the impact of repeated grooming.
02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with the material designed for the decision.
Chitosan can deposit on damaged, negatively charged regions of the hair and form a protective film that is evaluated for breakage and mechanical performance.
Without the shell
Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.
Specification engineered
MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.
Application ready
Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.
One technical partner
Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.
03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS
Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.
Damage-site deposition
Damage-site deposition can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished hair repair + strengthening system.
Fiber reinforcement
Fiber reinforcement can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished hair repair + strengthening system.
Breakage-reduction concepts
Breakage-reduction concepts can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished hair repair + strengthening system.
04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA
Define the evidence before testing begins.
The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.
Tensile and breakage performance
Deposition and repeated-use buildup
Heat-styling and grooming durability
05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION
A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.
Define
Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.
Screen
Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.
Validate
Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.
Recommended first request: A strengthening-grade chitosan for tensile and repeated-grooming evaluation.
Start the Sample Brief06 · WHY CHITOSAN
Cationic affinity for hair + scalp
Positive charge supports attraction to negatively charged hair and damaged fiber regions. A thin surface film can influence smoothness, hold, humidity response and active retention.
There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.
Surfactant compatibility, deposition, buildup, rinse behavior, sensory performance and claims are confirmed in the finished product.
