This book characterizes the clinical, physical, and chemical properties of healthy hair and provides updated information on how to prevent and restore hair damage. Factors that control a woman's perception of healthy hair are described, and it is explained how these factors link to the fundamental biology of the hair fiber, such as diameter and curl, and also to the insults to hair, such as brushing, coloring, and UV exposure. The influences of different products on hair health are discussed, and methods used to measure healthy hair at the molecular, single-fiber, and consumer levels are described. Color pictures illustrate the most important clinical, dermoscopic, and microscopic characteristics of both healthy and unhealthy hair. Hair Health and Cosmetics will offer the reader clear insights into the meaning of healthy hair in a consumer context and the technical factors that control what the consumer perceives as hair health - areas in which there is very little clarity in the industry.
