    GlossaryHair Stiffness

    resistance of hair fibers to bending or deformation

    Hair stiffness refers to the resistance of hair fibers to bending or deformation. It is influenced by factors such as the hair's diameter, its internal structure, and the presence of any chemical treatments or damage. For professionals, understanding hair stiffness is crucial for developing hair care products and treatments that can either enhance or reduce this property, depending on the desired outcome.
