Abstract
Hair is an important part of the body appeal and its look is a health indicator. Hair can be strategically divided into two distinct parts: the hair follicle, deeply buried in the skin, and the visible hair fiber. Accordingly, recent advances in hair science and hair care technologies have been reported in literature claiming innovations and strategies for hair treatments and cosmetic products. This paper reviews the key topics in hair follicle biology and hair fiber focus on dramatically veered from merely cleaning to repair, increasing the tensile strength, reducing oxidative damage, and stimulating growth. The treatment of hair and scalp, primarily, involved the use of shampoo for an effective, but gentle cleansing; however, for years, the shampoo is considered not only as a cosmetic product having the purifying purpose, but it is also responsible for maintaining the health and the beauty of hair, imparting gloss and improving manageability and also useful products are Hair conditioner, Hair Gels, Hair Spray, Hair waxes, Hair dyes, Hair mousses, Pomades and brilliantine, Hair colors, Hair bleaching, Hair highlighting can alter the ‘lift’ of the hair-shaft. When hair is often exposed to some particularly aggressive cosmetic treatments, hair fibers become damaged. The future of hair cosmetics, which are continuously evolving based on ongoing research, will be the development of more efficient and safer procedures according to consumers’ needs and concerns.
