Hair Trivia – Part 2
Hair styling which involves perming, blow drying and coloring is said to be very damaging to hair by most people is contradicted by hair experts for the hair you see is made up only of the same material your fingernails are made of and do not have any living parts except the ones under the scalp which produces the hair. Blow drying can indeed damage hair if too much heat is applied which tends to cook the hair itself (which is made up of a naturally produced plastic by the follicle) making it brittle thus breaking off easily. Perms, hair sprays and other hair care products do not have any direct influence on the health of your hair unless it can affect the follicles which are under the scalp. These follicles are the hair factories of the human body and are the ones used for hair transplant surgery and treatments.
