Trichoptilosis Developing After First Exposure to Hair Gels

The document discussed a case of trichoptilosis, or split ends, developing after the first exposure to hair gels in pediatric patients. The authors, Hae-Woong Lee, Jee-Ho Choi, Kee-Chan Moon, and Jai-Kyoung Koh, all based in Seoul, Korea, reported this phenomenon and suggested a possible link between the use of hair gels and the onset of trichoptilosis. The study highlighted the need for further investigation into the ingredients of hair gels and their effects on hair health, particularly in children.
