Human Hair and the Impact of Cosmetic Procedures: A Review on Cleansing and Shape-Modulating Cosmetics
July 2016
in “
Cosmetics
”
TLDR Future hair cosmetics will be safer and more effective.
This review discussed the biology of hair follicles and the biochemistry of hair fibers, focusing on genetically determined attributes like hair texture and shape. It detailed traditional and widespread hair care procedures that affect these features, noting that aggressive treatments can damage hair fibers. The paper emphasized the future of hair cosmetics lies in developing more efficient and safer procedures based on ongoing research and consumer needs.
