Table 2: Cystine quantification on hair treated and exposed to solar radiation.

Treatment Amount of cystine (%)
F1 5.2 (± 0.11)
F2 < 0.7
F3 < 0.7
F4 < 0.7
F5 < 0.7
F6 18.9 (± 4.55)
F7 28.7 (± 7.23)
Positive Control < 0.7
Negative Control < 0.7

Results expressed as mean ± standard deviation; Positive Control: Treatment sample with 20% w/w aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate solution; Negative Control: Hair sample without danger type of treatment;

0.7% corresponds to the limit of quantification of cystine in the analytical solution corrected for dilutions made of the hair.
