| Summary: | Abstract Human hair, particularly on the scalp, serves as a significant aspect of social identity and well-being. The exposome, encompassing both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, plays a fundamental role in hair weathering. Intrinsic factors include genetic predispositions and physiological changes within the body, while extrinsic factors comprise environmental exposures such as UV radiation, pollution, humidity, temperature variations, lifestyle choices, and chemical treatments. These elements collectively contribute to the cumulative damage experienced by hair over time. Understanding the comprehensive impact of the exposome on hair health and hair aging necessitates an exploration of various environmental conditions, lifestyle factors, and technical artifacts. Despite advancements in research, the intricate mechanisms underlying the exposome influence on hair remain incompletely understood. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and emerging research findings, this study aims to enhance the understanding of exposome impact on hair health. |
