Myoung Joo Lee, Young Hee Noh
Abstract
In this study, we compared daily (diet, exercise, smoking, drinking et al.) and hair care habits and the condition of scalp and hair focusing Korean and American high school girls whose social background and culture were different from each other. Through this study we intended to provide practical and useful information on scalp and hair care for teenagers. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 118 Korean and 98 white American high school girls. We carried out t-test, frequency analysis, and one-way ANOVA for the data analysis. Korean high school girls showed more irregular daily habits than American girls and Korean girls also had less vegetables, fruits, and water in their diet than American girls. Both groups did not eat enough fish like anchovy, sea weed but they had much of instant food instead of real food. Korean high school girls exhibited more oily scalps and American girls had more normal scalps. Korean girls showed more damaged hair due to hot permanent wave, so their hair showed more hair break off and spilt ends. Korean high school girls worried about damaged hair, oily scalp, hair losss and no shine hair for their hair care. On the other hand American girls more worried about dandruff and hair break trouble due to thin hair. American high school girls showed more tied hair than Korean girls and they dried well their hair after shampooing. American high school girls used less hot curlers and hair dryer but they consumed more hair wax and hair spray goods than Korean girls did. Futhermore American high school girls used more hair treatment goods to have their hair shiny and glossy. However, American high school girls paid more attention to the instruction and caution note on the hair treatment goods after purchasing.
