October 2015 in “Photochemistry and photobiology” This study found that higher concentrations of copper (II) ions in human hair increase protein oxidative modification, contributing to hair damage regardless of UV exposure and pigmentation level.
May 2026 in “Brazilian Journal of Hair Health” This study found that bleaching significantly damages hair structure and increases combing difficulty, while dyeing with emulsifiers can partially reduce damage and improve combability, yet both processes cause notable protein loss.
