    Glossary stretch-back

    elasticity of hair returning to original length after stretching

    Stretch-back refers to the elasticity of hair, specifically how much hair can be stretched and then return to its original length without breaking. This property is an indicator of hair health and strength, as well as its moisture content. For professionals, assessing stretch-back can help determine the appropriate treatments for maintaining or improving hair condition.
