    Glossary Mechanical Resistance

    ability to withstand physical forces without deforming or breaking

    Mechanical resistance refers to the ability of a material or structure to withstand physical forces without deforming or breaking. In the context of hair, it describes how well hair fibers can resist damage from physical actions like brushing, pulling, or styling. This property is crucial for maintaining hair integrity and preventing issues like breakage or split ends.
