TLDR Bubble hair damage is caused by high heat from styling tools, and trichoscopy helps diagnose it.

The document discussed bubble hair abnormality, a type of hair damage characterized by air cavities forming within the hair cortex due to high temperatures causing keratin hydrolysis and air expansion. This condition was associated with excessive cosmetic treatments, particularly the prolonged exposure of damp hair to high temperatures exceeding 125°C from blow dryers or electric curlers. It was typically observed in women. The document also highlighted the usefulness of trichoscopy, a diagnostic tool, in identifying and assessing this hair condition.
