TLDR Chamomile extract can protect hair from damage caused by light.
The study proposed a simple fluorescence method to evaluate hair damage and protection, based on the emissive properties of damaged hair. By comparing native hair with hair damaged by UVA and visible light, researchers observed changes in spectroscopic properties correlated with photobleaching due to singlet oxygen generation. Chamomile extract treatment prevented hair bleaching, demonstrating the method's potential for substantiating hair protection claims.
