3rd Multi-Ethnic Hair & Scalp Care Symposium – New Student Discounts

The 3rd Multi-Ethnic Hair and Scalp Care Symposium will take place live and on-line (in a hybrid format), on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th June, 2023. This year, in-line with TRI’s charitable mission to support education & training in our industry, we are offering new discounts on registrations for students who wish to join the Symposium (details below). For general details about the scientific programme, click here. For registrations, click here.

TRI is a not-for-profit organisation, set-up over 90 years ago, to support industry through innovative research, education, and testing services. TRI supports education by delivering on-line courses, on-line seminars (TRI Talks), conferences and symposia, and through curation and sharing of all this knowledge in the TRI Library. TRI staff also provide lectures to university students in the UK and US, support for Masters’ projects, and training in laboratory skills through our internship programme. In addition to all this, in the future, TRI has plans to return to supporting PhD projects in partnership with universities.

This year, for the Symposium, we would like to offer students discounts on registration. Standard registration costs $400 per head, however, for students, this will be reduced to $200. We can also offer group registrations for students that will go as follows: 1-5 students ($600), 1-10 students ($1,120) and unlimited students from one institution ($2,240). For more information about these offers and how they can be applied-for, contact us at events@triprinceton.org

Fracture patterns in Walker Type 4 hair (Kamath et al., J.Soc.Cosmet.Chem. 1984)

Early publications from TRI on textured hair focussed on hair breakage and started to uncover the unique breakage patterns seen in highly curly hair types, and the effects of chemical treatments on hair strength (Kamath et al., J.Soc.Cosmet.Chem. 1984; Kamath et al., J.Soc.Cosmet.Chem. 1985). More recent reviews have also focussed on why textured hair can be so fragile and easy to break (Evans, Cosmetics & Toiletries Magazine, 2020; Cornwell & Malinauskyte, Cosmetics & Toiletries Magazine, 2020). The team at TRI, together with Croda, have also investigated the effects of protein treatments on breakage in textured hair (Malinauskyte et al., Int.J.Cosmet.Sci. 2020).

In 2019 TRI started a ground-breaking consortium project on textured hair. The $1 million project focused on (i) understanding breakage in textured hair, (ii) understanding scalp problems in textured hair, and (iii) development of new product evaluation methods for textured hair. The project was sponsored by 10 cosmetics companies, each contributing $75,000. TRI Contributed $250,000 from internal resources.

The results from the consortium project have remained exclusive to our sponsors until this year, 2023. Now, we can share our discoveries in a series of keynote presentations at the 3rd Multi-Ethnic Hair and Scalp Care Symposium in June (click here to see the agenda). Make sure you register to avoid missing the ‘big reveal’!

This year the Symposium will be delivered, for the first time, in a hybrid format. For people wanting to attend in person and to start networking and meeting friends again, we have a full-scale live event, including a Poster & Cocktails Reception on the evening of Day 1. Registrations for the event are priced the same ($400), regardless of whether people attend live or on-line. As usual there are early-bird discounts, free places for member companies, large academic discounts, and large group discounts. Contact us for more detail about these. For people attending the live event there is a Live Attendance Supplement ($250) to off-set venue and food costs over the two days. Rooms at the Hotel can be booked with a block-booking discount, contact us for more details.
