    Glossary Tensile Strength

    maximum stress a material endures before breaking when stretched

    Tensile strength, also known as ultimate tensile strength (UTS), is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In the context of hair, it refers to the force required to break a strand of hair when it is pulled from both ends. This property is crucial for understanding the durability and resilience of hair fibers, which can be affected by factors such as chemical treatments, environmental exposure, and overall hair health.
