    Glossary Mechanical Stress

    physical forces exerted on hair or scalp causing damage

    Mechanical stress refers to the physical forces exerted on hair strands or the scalp, which can lead to damage or hair loss. This can occur from actions like tight hairstyles, frequent brushing, or the use of harsh hair accessories. For professionals, understanding mechanical stress is crucial for advising patients on hair care practices to prevent traction alopecia and other forms of hair damage.
