research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Volume Changes During Water Binding to Hair Fibers
Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.
research Identification of neprilysin as a potential target of arteannuin using computational drug repositioning
Arteannuin might work against cancer and Alzheimer's by targeting neprilysin.
research Ultrastructural immunolocalization of involucrin in the medulla and inner root sheath of the human hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Analysis of structural changes in permanent waved human hair using Raman spectroscopy
Permanent waving weakens hair by altering its protein structure.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Reduction mechanism of L ‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.
research Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
research Action of Thioglycolic Acid and L-Cysteine to Disulfide Cross-Links in Hair Fibers during Permanent Waving Treatment
Thioglycolic acid and L-cysteine change hair structure differently during perms, affecting hair strength and curling efficiency.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Destruction
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Effects of chemical straighteners on the hair shaft and scalp
Chemical hair straighteners can cause scalp and hair damage, but long-term effects are unclear.
research Utilizing Lipid Bond Technology With Molecular Lipid Complex to Provide Lipid Treatment for Damaged Hair
The treatment effectively repairs and strengthens damaged hair by restoring natural lipids.
research Cryogelation of human hair keratins
Human hair keratins can be turned into useful 3D biomedical scaffolds through a freeze-thaw process.
research USES OF ONION (Allium cepa L.) & ALOE VERA (Aloe barbadensis Miller) POST HAIR DYE TREATMENT
Onion and Aloe vera can help protect hair from damage caused by hair dyes.
research Direct Observation of Hair Components Involved in Formation of Permanent Waves
Microfibrils are key for permanent waves, and hydrolyzed keratin improves wave formation and hair condition.
research What factors play a role in unhealthy hair?
Environmental, chemical, mechanical, and personal health factors can all damage hair and contribute to hair loss or changes in hair quality.
research Data from Activator Protein-1 Activity Regulates Epithelial Tumor Cell Identity
Inhibiting AP-1 changes skin tumor types and affects tumor cell identity.
research An overview of chemical straightening of human hair: technical aspects, potential risks to hair fibre and health and legal issues
Chemical hair straightening can damage hair and health, needing safer alternatives and stricter regulations.
research Straight to the Point: What Do We Know So Far on Hair Straightening?
Hair straightening can damage hair and pose health risks, including exposure to carcinogens and hair loss.
research Repair of damaged hair protein fiber by jointly using transglutaminase and keratin
Using an enzyme and keratin treatment can significantly repair and strengthen damaged hair.
research Mechanisms of impairment in hair and scalp induced by hair dyeing and perming and potential interventions
Hair dyes and perms can damage hair and scalp, but using interventions can reduce harm.
research Quantifying the effects of repeated dyeing: morphological, mechanical, and chemical changes in human hair fibers
Repeated hair dyeing significantly damages hair.
research Clinical Signs of Hair Damage
