Official title:
Efficacy and Safety of Keratin Hair Therapy on the Health of Hair and Scalp
Hair appearance is an important issue for females. Treatment of hair with keratin has been popular among females nowadays. Although chemical hair straightening application has a beneficial effect on hair shafts with the repair of the broken cuticle, some side effects may occur. Therefore, this study aims to study the efficacy and safety of such new non-formaldehyde widely used keratin treatments on hair by assessment of changes of the scalp, hair density, and the morphology, color, and ultrastructure of hair shaft after application.
Hair is an important feature for most women that contribute to one's individual identity. The appearance and morphology of the hair is one of the divergent traits in humans. Keratin in hair care products has two effects; it can penetrate the cortex of the hair fiber improving the mechanical properties of damaged fibers and promotes a surface coating that prevents or decreases water diffusion through the hair fibers.These properties have beneficial effects on the hair structure replacing lost keratin.However, the side effects and safety of this treatment have not yet been completely evaluated.There are many different brands of the keratin hair treatment, all with nearly the same basic chemical composition. Non-formaldehyde containing keratin straightening products, also known as safe keratin treatments (SKT) have recently been introduced to the market.Therefore, this study aims to study the efficacy and safety of such new non formaldehyde widely used keratin treatments on hair. ;
