Abstract: Curly hair presents specific structural, biomechanical, and hygroscopic characteristics that make it more susceptible to water loss, increased inter-fiber friction, frizz formation, and curl instability. In this context, multifunctional cosmetic systems have been developed with the aim of promoting hydration, conditioning, film formation, and maintenance of curl definition. The present study aimed to analyze, through a narrative literature review, the interaction mechanisms between the components of the HIVEN Curl Code® technology and curly hair fibers. The bibliographic search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, covering studies related to hair fiber structure, conditioning, water retention, cosmetic film formation, and biofunctional ingredients used in hair formulations. Data analysis demonstrated that the association of cationic conditioning agents, fatty alcohols, humectants, vegetable lipids, antioxidants, and film-forming components shows functional plausibility for acting on the surface modulation of the hair fiber. Ingredients such as Cetrimonium Chloride, D-panthenol, glycerin, coconut oil, shea butter, acacia gum, and carnauba wax may contribute to reducing friction, maintaining water balance, forming flexible films, and stabilizing hair curl structure. The results reinforce the importance of specific approaches for highly curved hair types and suggest that biofunctional systems based on surface interactions represent a promising strategy for frizz control, preservation of curl definition, and improvement of the cosmetic performance of hair fibers. However, further experimental studies are needed to confirm the proposed mechanisms and validate the performance of the analyzed technology.
