Abstract
The environment causes daily damage to the hair shaft that cannot be repaired and is more evident in the distal part of long hair. Clinical signs of hair damage depend on type of damage and severity of damage. The resistance of hair to mechanical, physical, and chemical injuries is reduced in cases of hair diseases.
