Abstract
In today's world, good appearance is much required for impressing society in the first attempt. In looking good, hairs play an important role. Hairs not only reflect one's public identity but also affect the thinking of that individual. Having healthy and well managed hairs boosts the confidence of the person and enhances the personality. But some unwanted conditions can interfere with the hair health and harm our hair. One of those unwanted conditions is Hygral fatigue, in which our hairs become damaged. In this article, we will study Hygral fatigue and how to correct this.
Introduction
Hygral fatigue can be defined as a condition in which hair follicles become damaged due to entering and exiting the enormous moisture into the hair cuticle. Wet hairs swell with moisture and contracts when it dries. For good understanding of Hygral fatigue, read the three layers of the hairs, which are:
- Cuticle: Hair cuticle is the outer layer of the hairs formed by dead cells that overlap such as the fish scales. This helps in locking moisture into the hairs and gives protection to the medulla and inner cortex.
- Cortex: Cortex is the thickest layer of the hairs and provides color, texture and strength to hair follicles.
- Medulla: Medulla is the innermost and soft layer of hair follicles and it can be seen in all hairs.
Water enters and causes hygral fatigue by overcoming the cortex and the protective cuticle. The hairs having cuticle cells placed widely can be easily susceptible to hygral fatigue. This disease is more common in persons having high porous hairs.
Symptoms of Hygral Fatigue
Under a microscope, hair going through hygral fatigue undergoes certain physical changes, which includes:
- Damage and raising of cuticle cells
- Degeneration of hair shaft (Weathering)
- Exposure of cortex of hair follicle
- Loss of the protective layer covering the hair
- Brittleness
- Dullness
- Frizziness
- Tangling
- Gummy texture
- Continuous hair breakage
Cause of Hygral Fatigue
Prolonged swelling and unswelling of the hair follicles due to enormous moisture can cause hygral fatigue. Some of the factors responsible for occurrence of hygral fatigue are:
- Genetic Factors: Genetic factors play an important role in determining how porous the hair is. Having low hair porosity have tightly packed cuticle cells which can raise trouble for the water to enter the hair follicle. While high porosity of the hairs allows the water to enter and exit follicles easily.
- Over-moisturizing Hair: Excessive moisturisation of the hairs by over-using conditioners and shampoos may cause hygral fatigue, mainly in the case of porous hairs.
- Damaged Hairs: Damaged hairs are generally more porous than undamaged hairs because the protective cuticle layer is broken in damaged hairs. Chemical treatment, high heat, harsh grooming and several environmental factors can damage your hairs.
- Loss of Protective Oils: Hairs are hydrophobic in nature which means they repel water. But overuse of an oily substance, 18-methyl eicosanoic acid (18-MEA) can decrease its water-repellent properties due to which hygral fatigue can take place.
- Loss of pH Balance: Using alkaline products in excess amounts can disturb the balance of the pH levels in the hairs and cause hygral fatigue.
