FSS Vegan Rice Curl Complex PF FSS Vegan Rice Curl Complex PF contains a unique blend of rice amino acids, stearoyl CoA-desaturase (SCD-1), tomato bioferment and yeast amino acids. All of which work synergistically to improve and protect the hair. The rice amino acids help condition and hydrate the hair to enhance its integrity and reduce moisture loss. The tomato bioferment that is added to FSS Vegan Rice Curl Complex PF contains a unique bi-enzyme complex that converts serine in the tomato to cysteine in situ. This can help repair oxidized sulfhydryl groups. Restoring the disulfide bonds in damaged curly hair strengthens it and improves its structure to ultimately improve curl. The bi-enzyme complex is also useful in styling aids for individuals that either curl their hair with a curling iron or get a perm. Increasing the strength of the hair and repairing the disulfide bonds not only helps repair damage caused by curling irons, but also enhances retention of the newly formed curls. The stronger the disulfide bonds, the more capable the hair is of maintaining its shape. The tomato bioferment can also help strengthen the newly re-aligned disulfide bonds that are created when perming. Another benefit of using tomato derived ingredients is that tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that can further protect the hair from oxidative stress.
