ABSTRACT
Background: hair-care has now become a frequent reason
for consultation. Nowadays, there are innumerable cosmetic
and dermatological products whose main goal is to maintain
and promote scalp and hair care in order to obtain healthy,
shiny and manageable hair. However, medical publications on
these formulations are scarce due to the variability of their ingredients
and unknown mechanisms of action. Trichology is a
branch of dermatology which deals with the health, diseases
and care of the hair and scalp. Thanks to the interest of the
general population in hair care, trichologists and dermatologists
have established in their daily practice the benefits associated
with the use of these cosmetic products on the market.
Material and method: the scientific evidence published on
hair care and cosmetics in the PubMed database and literary
publications of trichological interest were analyzed. The main
objective is to review the international publications on the use
and benefits of currently available cosmetic products, in order
to adequately instruct patients on the use, precautions and
safety of current hair products.
Conclusion: knowing the structural anatomy of the hair fiber
helps the dermatologist to understand the mechanism of
action of the various cosmetic formulations with the aim of
providing patients with healthy, shiny and strong hair.
