The composition of the hair shaft onto which shampoos and conditioners are applied are; keratin, water, lipids, minerals, and pigments (melanin).

The hair shaft is a part of the hair that is situated above the skin. The hair shaft is mostly composed of keratin with water, lipids, minerals and pigments (melanin). The hair shaft contains three layers which are; the cuticle (the thin outer part of the hair shaft), the cortex (the middle part of the hair shaft which is responsible for the texture, strength, and colour of the hair), and the medulla (the deepest part of the hair shaft). The cuticle is the first layer of the hair shaft to be damaged when hair is not treated properly through the use of insufficient  shampoo, conditioner, or brushing.

Some autoimmune diseases show a positive correlation with dramatically decreased expression of histone deacetylase (HDAC9, an en
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The positive charge of the histone proteins get reduced due to the process of histone acetylation, thus making the wrapping of DNA around the histones less tightened. The loose connected DNA afterward associates with the transcription factors for the articulation of the genes situated in that area.  

Generally, when there is no requirement of gene anymore, the acetyl groups from the histones get withdrawn by the activity of histone deacetylase enzyme (HDAC9) that makes the DNA tightly wrapped and inaccessible again. In case, when less expression of histone deacetylase enzyme occurs, the process of deacetylation fails to take place. This indicates that within an immune cell, at the time of infection, the inflammatory gene, which was made available does not get re-wrapped firmly around the histones.
