    Glossary Friction

    resistance encountered when surfaces move against each other

    Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. In the context of hair and alopecia, friction can refer to the mechanical stress exerted on hair strands due to rubbing against surfaces like pillows, hats, or even other hair strands, which can lead to hair breakage or loss over time.
