| Abstract: | When exposed to UV radiation, hair undergoes physical and chemical changes
leading to several undesirable effects manifested as loss in shine and texture
leading to roughness, loss in elasticity leading to breakage and loss in hair
colour leading to fading of natural and artificial colour. These changes can be
detected through several physical and chemical changes that occur in process.
Amongst these amino acid degradation is an important parameter as hair is made
of 18 amino acids which contribute to most characteristic properties of hair.
There are different types of hair categorized on basis of region (Asian,
African, European, etc.), hair colour (blonde, black, brown, etc.), hair thickness,
chemical treatment, etc. In the present study, Aloe vera Tourn. ex Linn.
which is a known skin care herb with multiple benefits was selected to evaluate
its photo-protective effect on different Asian hair types through amino acid
degradation studies. |
