“…In addition, features such as gas like or bubble appearance in electron microscopy have also been reported in damaged hair. [ 17 18 19 20 ] Many experimental studies have evaluated the effect of heat and hair styling products on hair changes. These procedures may also be an important cause of hair loss in women and need to be explored in detail in clinical settings.…”

Aim:Dermatologists most frequently prescribe shampoos for the treatment of hair shed and scalp disorders. Prescription of hair care products is often focused on improving scalp hair density, whereas the over-the-counter products focus on hair damage prevention. Little is taught in medical schools about the hair cosmetics, so that the prescriptions are based only on the treatment of the scalp and usually disregards the hair fiber health.Materials and Methods:In this work, we review the current literature about the mode of action of a low-pH shampoo regarding the hair shaft's health and analyze the pH of 123 shampoos of international brands.Results:All shampoo pH values ranged from 3.5 to 9.0. 38.21% of all 123 shampoos presented a pH ≤ 5.5 (IC: 29.9–47%) and 61.78% presented a pH > 5.5. 26 anti-dandruff shampoos were analyzed. About 19.23% presented pH ≤ 5.5.(IC: 7.4–37.6%). 80.77% of all anti-dandruffs shampoos presented a pH > 5.5. The dermatological shampoo group (n = 19) presented 42.10% with pH ≤ 5.5 (IC: 21.8–64.6%), and 57.90% with pH > 5.5. Among the commercial (popular) products (n = 96), 34.37% presented pH ≤ 5.5 (IC: 25.4–44.3%) and 65.62% presented pH > 5.5. 15 professional products (used in hair salons) were analyzed, of which 75% had a pH ≤ 5.5 (IC: 18–65, 4%), and 25% had a pH > 5.5. 100% of the children's shampoos presented a pH > 5.5.Conclusions:Alkaline pH may increase the negative electrical charge of the hair fiber surface and, therefore, increase friction between the fibers. This may lead to cuticle damage and fiber breakage. It is a reality and not a myth that lower pH of shampoos may cause less frizzing for generating less negative static electricity on the fiber surface. Interestingly, only 38% of the popular brand shampoos against 75% of the salons shampoos presented a pH ≤ 5.0. Pediatric shampoos had the pH of 7.0 because of the “no-tear” concept. There is no standardized value for the final pH. The authors believe that it is important to reveal the pH value on the shampoo label, but studies are needed to establish the best pH range for both the scalp and the hair fiber's health.

Hair is a defining feature of mammals. In other species hair confers important functions that affect survival. Most have been lost or are irrelevant in humans but the role of hair in social and sexual signalling in women and in men survives and thrives. Departures from cultural norms, either physiological or due to pathology, can therefore cause much concern and anxiety. Following an introduction to hair biology, this chapter considers the approach to the diagnosis and management of the patient with hair loss before discussing specific hair disorders. These include the various forms of hair loss due to hair follicle pathology, disturbances in hair cycling and hair shaft dystrophies, and disorders associated with excessive hair growth. The chapter concludes with a discussion of acquired alterations in hair pigmentation.
