Hair perfumes are becoming a trend all over the world and new cosmetic formulations have been developed to address this recent need. In the present study, we developed a system for the controlled delivery of perfumes on hair, based on zein, a protein derived from maize, and on keratin. The Keratin:Zein particles, obtained using different strategies and proportions of zein and keratin, presented a high stability along storage, related with the presence of keratin on the particles’ formulation. When applied on hair, the particles formed a film-like structure over the fibers. Fragrance diffusion from the hair-coated particles was dependent on the temperature, the method of particles’ preparation and the fragrances’ physicochemical properties (melting point and vapor pressure). The particles formulations showed also the capacity to improve hair’s mechanical properties and hydration degree. The new system based on Keratin:Zein particles revealed high potential for the development of personalized hair cosmetic products allowing adjustments depending on the personal sensory preferences.

头发香水在世界范围内正在成为一种趋势，并且已经开发出新的化妆品配方来满足这种近期需求。在本研究中，我们基于玉米蛋白，玉米蛋白和角蛋白，开发了一种可控制发香的系统。使用不同的玉米醇溶蛋白和角蛋白策略和比例获得的角蛋白：玉米醇溶蛋白颗粒在储存过程中表现出很高的稳定性，这与颗粒配方中存在角蛋白有关。当应用于头发时，颗粒在纤维上形成薄膜状结构。从毛发包覆的颗粒中散发的香气取决于温度，颗粒的制备方法和香料的理化性质（熔点和蒸气压）。颗粒配方还显示出改善头发的机械性能和水合度的能力。基于角蛋白：玉米蛋白颗粒的新系统显示出开发个性化头发化妆品的巨大潜力，可以根据个人的感官喜好进行调整。
