Abstract

|
Human hair is a natural fiber with keratin and keratin-related proteins as a main component. Externally, hair is a thin, pliable tube of dead, fully keratinized epithelial cells, while inside the skin, it is part of a single living hair follicle. In addition to a large amount of protein, hair also contains low levels of lipids and pigments. The hair also has its own ecological balance system. Although the lipid content in hair is much lower than the protein content, it plays an important role in hair and influences hair texture to some extent. For example, prevent hair breakage and thinning; To act as a barrier to moisture loss; and improve the gloss, elasticity and tensile strength of the hair stem. Environment, hair dressing and daily care can all cause hair damage to varying degrees. Factors such as ultraviolet light and chemicals can make hair dry, rough, dull, stiff and brittle by destroying the proteins, pigment sand lipid sin the hair. In this paper, the composition, classification and influencing factors of hair were reviewed. The composition and function of lipids in hair were investigated emphatically. It aims to improve people's understanding of the physical and chemical properties and structure of hair. It provides reference value for the research and development of hair cosmetics for different hair states and washing purposes. The function of hair lipids on hair is not accurate. In addition, there is still some controversy on the existing role of hair lipids, which needs further research.
