Abstract Goal: To assess infection rate in a population of children who underwent cranial neurosurgery without hair removal. Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical records of children undergoing cranial neurosurgery with “shampoo care” during one year. Results: 450 children were included. 5.55% of them had a wound complication, with only two cases of infection (0.4%). Available literature was revised to assess the effectiveness of our protocol. Wound complication and infections rates found in our experience were lower than those reported in patients treated with a standard trichotomy.

  • Essential of Hair Care Cosmetics
    cosmetics Review Essential of Hair Care Cosmetics Aurora Alessandrini * and Bianca Maria Piraccini Division of Dermatology, Department of Experimental, Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine, University of Bologna, Bologna 40138, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-051-214-3677; Fax: +39-051-214-4867 Academic Editors: Won-Soo Lee and Enzo Berardesca Received: 18 July 2016; Accepted: 20 September 2016; Published: 27 September 2016 Abstract: Nowadays, hair care and style play a very important role in people’s physical aspect and self-perception. Hair cosmetics can be distinguished into two main categories: cosmetics with temporary effect on the hair, for example shampoos, conditioners, sprays, and temporary colors; and cosmetics with permanent effect on the hair, such as permanent waves, relaxers, bleaches and permanent colors. These cosmetic procedures may induce hair abnormalities. We provide an overview on the most important characteristics of these procedures, analyzing components and effects on the hair. Finally, we evaluated new camouflage techniques and tattoo scalp. Keywords: hair; hair care; hair care cosmetics; hair care products; cosmetic ingredient; healthy hair 1. Introduction Hair is a complex structure composed by many components that act as a unit, with the biological purpose of protecting the scalp, as well as physical attractiveness to the self-perception of beauty. Nowadays, hair care and style play a very important role in people’s lives, both for men and women, so knowledge of hair products, mode of action, efficacy, ingredients and hair procedures has become more relevant in dermatologists’ medical practice. The amount of money spent to enhance the hair beauty is an indication of how much attention is given today to the hair appearance.

  • FACT SHEET Potentially Toxic Chemicals in Personal Care Products
    FACT SHEET Potentially Toxic Chemicals in Personal Care Products Everyday personal care products, such as cosmetics and shampoo, can contain chemicals associated with asthma, allergies, hormone disruption, neurodevelopmental problems, infertility, and even cancer. Americans use an average of 10 personal care products each day. The average person in the United States is exposed to chemicals from cosmetics, shampoo, and other personal care products before leaving the house each morning.1 According to the Environmental Working Group, industrial chemicals are basic ingredients in personal care products. The 12,500 unique chemical ingredients in these products equate to about one of every seven of the 82,000 chemicals registered for use in the U.S.2 Personal care products contain carcinogens, pesticides, reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, plasticizers, degreasers, and surfactants.3 Exposure to personal care products typically begins in infancy, with products such as baby shampoo and diaper cream, and continues throughout the lifespan. Prenatal exposure to certain chemicals is also possible. Deodorant, toothpaste, cosmetics, lotions, and hair products are among the most commonly used products. A growing body of scientific evidence shows that even the smallest dose of some chemicals can be harmful. Many studies have been done to test the effects of these chemicals on laboratory animals, such as mice and rats. While it is typically not possible to conduct studies exposing potential toxins to humans, there has been research describing harmful effects on humans, some of which is described in this fact sheet. Other challenges to conducting research on the impact of certain chemicals on humans include the fact that humans use multiple personal care products, each of which can contain numerous chemicals, so teasing out the effects of just one chemical can be difficult.

Accordingly, recent advances in hair science and hair care technologies have been reported in literature claiming innovations and strategies for hair treatments and cosmetic products. The treatment of hair and scalp, primarily, involved the use of shampoo for an effective, but gentle cleansing; however, for years, the shampoo is considered not only as a cosmetic product having the purifying purpose, but it is also responsible for maintaining the health and the beauty of hair, imparting gloss and improving manageability. For meeting the needs of a multitasking formulation, following also the recent marketing-trend addressed to the "natural world", new challenges for cosmetic technology are aimed towards the research of natural ingredients, as well as new techniques for shampoo formulation. Regarding the recent development of solid shampoos, little information is available about their use, formulation and advantages. This review is largely focused on the description of solid shampoos, mainly based on the use of clays, herbs or flours as washing bases alternative to the traditional ones, consisting of a combination of synthetic surfactants, together with other usual ingredients expected in a shampoo formulation.
