Since repeated swelling and contraction damages the cuticle, reduction of WRI is useful in reducing hair damage. As compared to hair treated by oils other than coconut hair oil, the WRI decreases by 44%. This reduction is seen in all types of hair - undamaged, bleached and thermally treated hair. |
