Hydrogen Peroxide Hair Damage

On the damage of hydrogen peroxide to hair

In recent times, people have paid much attention to the way of hairdressing, and hydrogen peroxide is often used in hairdressing. However, hydrogen peroxide is dangerous to the hair, and it must be noticed.

Hydrogen peroxide has the property of oxidation. When applied to the hair, it can break the original structure of the hair color and cause the hair color to become lighter. This is a common method for hair dyeing. However, although the power of oxidation can change the color, it also damages the quality of the hair. The main component of hair is keratin. The oxidation of hydrogen peroxide can break the chemical bonds of keratin, causing damage to the internal structure of the hair. Hair then loses its flexibility, gradually dries up and is fragile. When combing hair, it is easy to break.

And hydrogen peroxide can affect the water balance of the hair. Hair normally contains an appropriate amount of water to keep it supple and shiny. After the action of hydrogen peroxide, the hair scales are damaged, and the water is easily dissipated, causing the hair to dry like firewood and lack natural moisturization. Long-term treatment of hair with hydrogen peroxide can exacerbate the damage to the hair scales, which cannot effectively protect the inside of the hair. External harmful factors are more likely to invade, and the hair damage is more serious.

Furthermore, the scalp skin is also affected by it. Hydrogen peroxide is highly irritating, touching the scalp, or causing scalp discomfort, such as itching, redness and swelling. What's more, it may cause allergic reactions, damage the healthy environment of the scalp, and affect the root of hair growth.

Therefore, those who want to beauty their hair should be cautious when using substances containing hydrogen peroxide. Weigh the advantages of hair dyeing and the disadvantages of hair injury, or find a more gentle way to keep the hair and scalp healthy, and do not cause long-term damage due to temporary beauty.
