Medical professionals that treat patients with alopecia usually lack knowledge about hair cosmetics. Trichologists focus on hair cycling and growth problems and not on the hair shaft integrity. This may lead to abandon of the use of the prescribed treatment, such as topical minoxidil or to inadequate traumatic grooming habits that may jeopardize hair follicle health. Shampoos, hair dyes, and hair-straightening products may alter hair fiber structure, remove lipids, and elude protein. Hair procedures such as hair dying and straightening have side effects and health concerns, especially for pregnant women or sensitive hair and scalp patients. Hair breakage, follicle traction, frizz, contact dermatitis, and mutagenicity are possible side effects of hair cosmetics misuse. The proper use of hair care products may help to increase patients' adherence to alopecia treatments and avoid health problems related to inadequate application of hair cosmetics and procedures.
治疗脱发患者的医学专业人员通常缺乏毛发化妆品方面的知识。毛发学家专注于毛发周期和生长问题，而非毛干完整性。这可能导致患者放弃使用规定的治疗方法，如局部用米诺地尔，或形成不当的损伤性梳理习惯，从而可能危及毛囊健康。洗发水、染发剂和直发产品可能会改变毛发纤维结构、去除脂质并使蛋白质流失。染发和直发等美发程序存在副作用和健康风险，尤其是对孕妇或头发及头皮敏感的患者。毛发断裂、毛囊牵拉、毛糙、接触性皮炎和致突变性是滥用毛发化妆品可能产生的副作用。正确使用护发产品有助于提高患者对脱发治疗的依从性，并避免因毛发化妆品及程序使用不当而产生的健康问题。
