    occurs when hair weakens from exposure to harsh chemicals

    Chemical Damage, often referred to as Chemical Hair Damage, occurs when hair is weakened or broken down due to exposure to harsh chemicals found in hair treatments such as dyes, bleaches, relaxers, and perms. These chemicals can strip the hair of its natural oils and proteins, leading to dryness, brittleness, and breakage. For professionals, understanding the specific chemical interactions and the hair's structural response is crucial for mitigating and treating such damage.
