    Glossary Water Loss

    process where moisture evaporates from skin or hair

    Water loss refers to the process by which water evaporates from the surface of the skin or hair, leading to dehydration. In the context of hair, this can result in dryness, brittleness, and increased susceptibility to damage. Maintaining proper hydration and using moisturizing products can help mitigate water loss and keep hair healthy.
