Abstract

This chapter reviews the use of nanostructured systems for treating hair disorders. Hair is an intriguing organ, which involves complex and dynamic interactions, such as cell lifecycles and their impact from external and internal damage. Hair appearance reflects the social lifestyles and wellness of individuals, which causes concerns once this visual aspect is negatively affected. Understanding the primary sources of each disorder is essential for the best treatment, although several causes are still being studied. In the first section, we describe the structure of different parts of hair. The second section provides in-depth coverage of several types of nanostructured systems. Lastly, the third section reports on the main hair disorders and recent research based on nanostructured systems addressing these specific needs and treatments.
