On the effect of glycolic acid on hair
The influence of glycolic acid on hair has been discussed by many people. Discuss it in detail today.

Glycolic acid is active and has unique chemical characteristics. Its effect on hair involves the keratin on the surface of the hair first. Hair keratin, like the tiles of a house, is stacked on top of each other, protecting the medulla of the hair. Glycolic acid can slightly erode the outer layer of the stratum corneum. If it is done in moderation, it can make the surface of the hair smooth and shiny. Cover it to remove the dirt on the surface of the hair, so that the light is better reflected, and the hair is shiny.

Of course, the use of glycolic acid is too much. If the concentration is too high, or if it is used too frequently, the damage to the hair keratin will be exacerbated. If the keratin is damaged, the hair loses its barrier, the water is easily lost, and the hair is gradually withered, like the grass of dry soil. And the toughness of the hair also decreases, and it is easy to break. When combing the hair, it is often seen that the hair falls on the comb.

Furthermore, glycolic acid may affect the acid-base balance of the hair. The environment in which the hair is located is suitable for acid and base. Glycolic acid is slightly acidic. If used too much, the acid and base around the hair will be unbalanced, and the foundation of hair growth will be disturbed. Hair follicle function may be disordered, and new hair generation will be blocked. Over time, the amount of hair may be thin.

To sum up, glycolic acid has advantages and disadvantages in the hair. Use it with caution, and control its concentration and frequency according to the characteristics of the hair, so as to avoid harm and benefit, and protect the health
