Abstract in brief

  • Hair dryers can cause surface damage to hair, especially at higher temperatures, but they do not typically damage the inner cortex, with natural drying sometimes causing more cortex damage.
  • Repeated use of hair dryers decreases the moisture content and can change hair color, particularly making it lighter after multiple treatments, though differences in moisture levels are not always statistically significant.
  • Using a hair dryer at a distance of 15 cm with continuous motion results in less surface damage compared to natural drying, highlighting the importance of drying technique to minimize hair damage.]

@130R_itaoitsuji FF外から失礼します。 自然乾燥は髪の毛の細胞膜複合体(CMC)にダメージを与えるそうです。調べてみるとCMCは髪の潤い等に関わってくるそうです。 https://t.co/QezFb13Nsc
