    conditions affecting hair structure, causing brittleness and breakage

    Hair Shaft Disorders are conditions that affect the structure and integrity of the hair shaft, leading to issues like brittleness, breakage, and abnormal hair texture. These disorders can be genetic or acquired and often result from defects in the proteins that make up the hair, such as keratin, or from external factors like excessive heat or chemical treatments.
