Hair colour and hair shaft abnormalities are a result of disruption in the normal process of keratinization, which is the production of the protein keratin that is responsible for the structure of the hair shaft. this disruption can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic mutations, environmental exposures, nutritional deficiencies, and infections. in some cases, the disruption can result in an irregularity in the production of melanin, which is the pigment responsible for hair colour, or a structural abnormality in the hair shaft, such as an increase in the diameter of the hair shaft or a decrease in the number of cuticles.
