May 2026 in “International Journal of Health Management Review” Este estudo revisou os danos causados por substâncias alcalinas de alto pH no cabelo, destacando que o uso de agentes químicos para alisamento pode causar intumescimento das fibras capilares e degradação proteica devido à abertura das escamas cuticulares. O uso de hidróxidos metálicos pode levar à lantionização, enfraquecendo irreversivelmente a resistência do cabelo. Além disso, o pH elevado neutraliza o manto ácido do couro cabeludo, aumentando o risco de dermatites, queimaduras químicas e alopecias cicatriciais irreversíveis. A conclusão enfatiza a necessidade de priorizar a saúde capilar e educar sobre os riscos associados a esses procedimentos.
