Answer
Benefits of Lactic Acid (LAK 1000) in Hair Products
Yes, LAK 1000, which is Lactic Acid, can provide several benefits for hair, depending on how it is formulated and used.
In general shampoo formulations using lower concentrations, Lactic Acid can help condition the hair in various ways, including providing moisture. The product description for Lactic Acid (AHA) Neutralized specifically mentions its suitability for hair regimens and good moisturizing properties.
When used at higher concentrations, such as in hair mask formulations, Lactic Acid can help to gently affect the hair's Keratin structure. This can improve the absorption of other conditioning ingredients present in the mask.
