The Science of Hair and Protein Damage
Hair is composed of approximately 50 different proteins, each serving a unique function. While the types of protein are consistent among individuals, their structural arrangement can vary based on factors like ethnicity and age. Daily stressors, such as heat styling and UV exposure, can alter the delicate protein chemistry of your hair, leading to damage.
