A new approach for hair treatment through coating with nanotubes loaded with drugs or dyes for coloring is suggested.

For medical treatment such formulations allow for sustained long-lasting drug delivery directly on the hair surface, also enhanced in the cuticle openings. For coloring, this process allows avoiding a di...
