Some people say, “Straightening your hair makes you bald.” Is this true? In this article, we will introduce the relationship between hair straightening and baldness, including the characteristics and mechanisms of the procedure.
Baldness is caused by scalp damage and aging.
Generally speaking, thinning hair is caused by the scalp and hair follicles. Hormonal imbalance and poor blood circulation caused by aging and stress can lead to thinning and easy hair loss. Excessive sebum production and inflammation of the scalp are also said to contribute to thinning hair.
In any case, in most cases, multiple factors are involved rather than a single cause of thinning hair.
Hair straightening itself is not the cause of baldness.
In conclusion, hair straightening itself is not the cause of baldness. Hair straightening is indeed a procedure that damages hair. However, the chemicals are not applied directly to the skin. When an iron is applied to the hair, it is done from a distance slightly away from the roots, so that it does not touch the skin.
Therefore, normal hair straightening treatment is unlikely to cause damage to the scalp. However, if done too often, it can be hard on the scalp.
You should ask for a good hair straightening treatment.
Hair straightening itself is not a cause of baldness. However, there have been reports of problems with scalp irritation caused by accidental contact of the chemicals with the scalp during the treatment or by the iron coming in contact with the scalp. Recently, some beauty salons are selling inexpensive hair straightening, but hair straightening is essentially a difficult procedure that uses powerful chemicals and heat.
Men, in particular, often have their hair straightened when it is relatively short, so it can be said that the risk is somewhat high. If you ask for hair straightening, we recommend that you choose a hair salon and a hair stylist whom you can trust.
Is it true that people with frizzy hair are less likely to be bald?
It is said that people with strong frizzy hair, for example, tend to straighten their hair. There is a rare story that “people with frizzy hair are less likely to be bald,” but there is no scientific basis for this. Since hair quality has little to do with whether or not one’s hair will thin, there are people with frizzy hair who will also become thin. This does not mean that “frizzy hair is not susceptible to baldness, so it is okay to use a lot of hair straighteners, etc.” Please be careful to take care of your scalp.
There is no direct relationship between hair straightening and baldness. However, in terms of putting strain on the scalp, mistakes made during the procedure can trigger thinning hair. Prevent thinning hair by taking care of your scalp, regardless of whether you are straightening your hair or not.
