Abstract

The permeation and absorption of solutes into human hair are highly relevant to various applications, including the formulation of hair-care products, the development of water pollution control and remediation, and the risk assessment of environmental exposure. Based on a detailed introduction of the structure and composition of hair, the effects of the properties of hair (structure, composition, and charge properties), the physicochemical properties of solutes (molecular size, shape, and hydrophobicity), and the conditions of the surrounding medium (solvent composition, temperature, and pH) on the permeation and absorption were comprehensively analyzed. Several theoretical models were reviewed, including two-part/two-state, porous media diffusion, homogeneous medium diffusion, heterogeneous medium partition, and diffusion models. Finally, future research directions for the permeation and absorption of solutes in hair were proposed to provide a foundation for the further optimization and application of permeation models.
