    reduction of protein content in hair, causing weakness and breakage

    Protein loss refers to the reduction of protein content in the body, which can occur due to various factors such as poor nutrition, medical conditions, or excessive physical stress. In the context of hair, protein loss can weaken hair strands, making them more prone to breakage and leading to conditions like hair thinning or alopecia. For professionals, understanding the underlying causes of protein loss is crucial for diagnosing and treating related health issues effectively.
