Abstract:

The concept of skin sunscreen has been deeply embedded in the hearts of consumers, but hair sunscreen is still a relatively new concept for Chinese consumers. Just like skin, UV and visible light radiation in daily life will also cause damage to hair, which is reflected in the degradation of hair substances (such as proteins, amino acids, lipids, melanin, etc.) at the molecular level. Hair damage will cause changes in its apparent properties, resulting in decreased hair grooming, increased roughness and friction, increased water absorption and swelling, enhanced surface hydrophilicity, decreased mechanical properties, decreased glossiness and other adverse phenomena. Therefore, it is very necessary to add functional ingredients in hair care products to prevent photoaging. In this paper, the process of hair photoaging and its substance changes are analyzed, and the hair problems caused by photoaging and the protective products for this problem are introduced.

Key words: photoaging, ultraviolet, hair care
