The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.
research Factors which affect the fibre output of isolated wool follicles maintained in vitro
Wool growth is mainly controlled by external factors and specific proteins, not the follicles themselves.
research Woolly hair nevus
A 17-year-old developed woolly hair nevus in adolescence, which is unusual, and over time the hair darkened and straightened slightly, but microscopic changes persisted.
