Wate hair, a noun, refers to hair that has been permanently altered due to severe damage or chemical treatment. Think of over-processed hair that has lost its strength, elasticity, and shine, often appearing straw-like or brittle.
Wate hair is prevalent, with up to 70% of the population being affected. It can result from excessive heat styling, chemical hair treatments like bleaching or perming, and environmental factors. Restoring wate hair requires specialized care to repair and strengthen its damaged structure.
