GlossaryBubble Hair Deformity (Bubble Hair)

hair shaft disorder with air-filled bubbles causing brittleness

Bubble Hair Deformity, also known simply as Bubble Hair, is a rare hair shaft disorder characterized by the presence of air-filled bubbles within the hair shaft. These bubbles weaken the hair, making it more prone to breakage and giving it a brittle, uneven texture. The condition is often caused by excessive heat from styling tools like hair dryers and straighteners.
