    Glossary Structural Proteins

    Structural proteins are essential components of hair follicles and play a critical role in the formation and maintenance of hair. These proteins, such as keratin, provide strength, resilience, and shape to hair strands, influencing their overall health and appearance. In the context of hair loss, abnormalities or deficiencies in structural proteins can lead to weakened hair, increased shedding, and impaired growth, making them a key focus in understanding hair biology and potential treatments for hair loss.
