Hydrogen Peroxide Hair Follicles Damage
On the influence of hydrogen peroxide on hair follicles
In modern times and the way of hairdressing, the color change of hair dyeing and the shape change of perm are common in all kinds of techniques. However, the effect of hydrogen peroxide on hair follicles cannot be ignored.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. When used in the hair, it can cause damage to the outer stratum corneum of the hair, which is well known. However, the microenvironment of the hair follicle is also disturbed by it. Hair follicles are the root of hair germination and nourish hair growth. If the hair follicles are damaged, the health of the hair is also endangered.
After observing the experiments, an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide was applied to the surrounding area of the hair sample to simulate the scalp environment. After a long time, it was observed that the activity of hair follicle cells decreased. This decrease in activity may be due to the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, which disrupts the order of normal biochemical reactions in cells. Cell metabolism is blocked, nutrient uptake and waste excretion are trapped, and the ability of hair follicle growth is gradually weakened.
And hydrogen peroxide may cause the microvascular constriction around the hair follicle. The microvascular is the channel through which the hair follicle transports nutrients and oxygen. If the microvascular constriction, the delivery of nutrients and oxygen is not smooth, the hair loses its nourishment, withered and easy to fold, and the hair follicle gradually shrinks.
It has been reported that long-term exposure to hydrogen peroxide can cause abnormal differentiation of hair follicle stem cells. Hair follicle stem cells are the basis for hair follicle regeneration. If their differentiation is abnormal, the quality and quantity of new hair will be affected, or the hair will be sparse and thinner.
To sum up, hydrogen peroxide is really harmful to hair follicles. In daily hairdressing, it should be used with caution, weighing its advantages and disadvantages, and it must not be damaged by temporary beauty, causing hair follicle root and hair health to disappear.
