The Impact of Cosmetic Products on Hair Health

People who think they have hair loss problems are looking for alternative solutions. In these solutions, priority is usually given to cosmetic products. Within the scope of hair cosmetics, care products are divided into categories within themselves as styling products, hair growth products instead of hair loss products and care products.

People with thinning hair strands, bifurcation at the ends of the hair, breakage and root loss rate, more than the normal loss rate, are looking for cosmetic products in order to intervene early and prevent hair loss. There are some important points to be considered when choosing hair cosmetic products. Especially those with sensitive scalp structure should make sure that the product they buy is the right product.

   What should be considered when choosing hair cosmetic products?

● It is necessary to be aware of the hair structure and scalp characteristics. The scalp can be oily, dry or have a combination skin structure. In this case, getting expert help in choosing a product will be the right decision.

● The structure that provides the inner strength of your hair is called the "cortex" structure. The internal structure of the hair strands is also called the fibrous structure. The strong, moist and supple appearance of the hair is related to the cortex. If the cortex structure is damaged, the hair looks lifeless and this may be the real reason behind the breakouts. It is very important to use the correct product to protect the cortex structure.

● The layer that gives shine and softness to the hair by containing keratin, lipids and proteins is called "cuticle". It is located in 8 layers on the hair strand. The hair dyes used, perm procedures and routine high-temperature procedures performed may cause permanent damage to the cuticle layer. Those who are in search of repairing and anti-shedding products can also help with permanent damage by getting protective product recommendations for the procedures they apply to their hair.

Researches also offer solutions to the problems experienced in the use of hair cosmetics.

● People having dandruff problems experience stiffness and dryness in their hair after using dandruff shampoo. To minimize this condition, it will be enough to use a conditioner before using dandruff shampoo.

● Those who are in search of restorative and regenerating natural products for hair can easily use vegetable oils. Coconut oil is known as the only oil that minimizes protein loss in hair.

● Permanent hair dyes cause more damage to the hair follicle layer than spray and semi-permanent hair dyes. For this reason, those who want to color their hair, especially those who constantly change their decision about color, may prefer spray and foam dyes.
