    GlossaryOxidation

    chemical process where a substance loses electrons

    Oxidation is a chemical process where a substance loses electrons, often involving the interaction with oxygen. In the context of hair and biology, oxidation can affect hair color and strength, as it can lead to the breakdown of melanin (the pigment in hair) and the weakening of hair proteins, potentially contributing to conditions like alopecia.
