A person’s hair, although not necessarily providing any significant medical advantage, plays a significant role in the overall appearance of an individual.

However, probably the most damage is caused by the constant exposure of the hair to the excessive heat emitted from hair care appliances such as curling irons and blow-dryers. The heat generated by these instruments cause enough damage to kill some of the hair cells – thereby damaging the hair considerably.
