August 2011 in “PubMed” This study found that selected polymeric pretreatments on hair can significantly reduce breakage and protect against thermal damage from hot flat irons by maintaining cuticle integrity and moisture.
February 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study analyzed how professional hairstyling practices cause thermal damage to human hair, focusing on heat exposure and product use, and proposed a protocol for minimizing damage with heat protection strategies and optimal temperature recommendations.
February 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” The study analyzed how professional hairstyling practices, such as excessive heat and product use, cause thermal damage to hair, and it proposed a protocol that includes heat protection strategies and optimal temperature ranges to minimize this damage for hairstylists.
