research A Raman spectroscopy investigation of the resilience of hair cuticular scales under uniaxial stress March 2026 in “Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials/Journal of mechanical behavior of biomedical materials” Hair cuticles remain stable and resilient under stress due to strong protein content and crosslinking.
research Conformational differences in protein disulfide linkages between normal hair and hair from subjects with trichothiodystrophy: A quantitative analysis by Raman microspectroscopy 53 citations , March 2006 in “Biopolymers” TTD hair is brittle due to fewer sulfur amino acids and unstable disulfide bonds.
research Molecular modeling and structural characterization of a high glycine–tyrosine hair keratin associated protein 16 citations , January 2017 in “Physical chemistry chemical physics/PCCP. Physical chemistry chemical physics” The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.
research Chemical modification of keratin fibers using 2‐iminothiorane hydrochloride 16 citations , October 2003 in “Journal of applied polymer science” 2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improves hair waving permanence without damage.
research Vibrational Raman and IR data on brown hair subjected to bleaching 3 citations , September 2021 in “Data in brief” Bleaching hair changes its structure and weakens it, which is important for understanding hair damage and creating treatments.
