Hair tensil, a measurement of the force required to break a single strand of hair, is a key indicator of hair strength and health. Hair tensil determines the hair's ability to withstand damage from combing, brushing, and styling.
Hair tensil is essential for maintaining healthy, strong hair. It is influenced by genetic factors, age, hormonal changes, and external factors such as sun exposure, chemical treatments, and heat styling. Historically, hair tensil has been a subject of scientific research, with studies exploring its relationship to hair growth, hair disorders, and the development of hair care products.
