TI  - Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis of the 
      application of a cationic conditioner to "clean" hair.

AB  - In this study the applicability of the surface-sensitive ToF-SIMS technique to 
      hair analysis and associated aqueous processing is evaluated. ToF-SIMS analysis 
      of "as received" human hair indicates the presence of silicones, anionic 
      surfactants, and cationic conditioners, from previous treatments, on the fiber 
      surface. Cleaning of the hair with SLS or SLES results in adsorption of the 
      surfactants onto the fiber surface. In particular, the more non-polar surfactant 
      components have greater substantivity for the fiber surface, as indicated by the 
      relative increase in their ToF-SIMS intensity. Application of the Incroquat 
      Behenyl 18-MEA conditioner to both "virgin" and bleached hair results in the 
      adsorption of the cationic C18, C20, C22, and C21 surfactant components onto the 
      hair surface. The ToF-SIMS data indicate higher levels of conditioner on the 
      bleached hair relative to the undamaged hair.
