Abstract The degradation of protein chains or the repair obtained by cosmetic treatments in the face of the oxidative effects suffered by the hair fiber, can be evaluated by the behavior of the groups –S-S- and SO3-, that make up human hair. Combability is an attribute measurable through the total energy expended due to friction between the comb and the external surface of the hair tress. This work aimed to evaluate the repair attribute of oxidative damage, using Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR-ATR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy using Attenuated Total Reflectance) combined with the wet and dry hair combing technique. Key-words: Hair, Hair Oxidative process, Repair Factor for Oxidative Damage, FTIR-ATR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy using Attenuated Total Reflectance), Combability.
