Methods and Compositions for Dag Mitigation
Technologies are described for methods and compounds for mitigating dag on hair. The method comprises applying a compound having at least one hydrophobic component and at least two reactive functional components to the hair and applying a binder to the hair. The applying of the compound and the binder to the hair enables a reaction with the hair and the formation of a matrix in situ with the hair. The matrix has the at least one hydrophobic component extending from the hair and imparts its hydrophobicity to the hair to mitigate the dag.
