Abstract

Hair is biologically diverse with a range of textures and thicknesses. Hair also serves as expression of oneself; leading to hair care practices and styling that are influenced by culture, perception of beauty, and environment. The use of hair oils, styling and hair restructuring processes are utilized to help manage and style hair, along with offering options for self-expression. These hair care practices can lead to a range of complications, including contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and scarring alopecias.
