November 2012 in “Pharmaceutical research” Fractional CO2 laser treatment significantly boosts drug and nanoparticle skin absorption, especially through hair follicles.
May 2026 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study investigates the impact of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on hair fiber integrity, comparing it to the effects of bleaching. It simulates solar radiation damage over a Brazilian summer and finds that UV exposure causes cuticular damage similar to bleaching, with increased cystic component oxidation and decreased hydrophobicity. After 192 hours of UV exposure, hair shows significant mechanical degradation, with reduced force at 20% elongation and elongation at break, indicating more pronounced damage than chemical oxidation alone. However, the structural protein degradation from double bleaching is more severe than that from UV radiation, despite comparable enthalpy changes after 192 hours of UV exposure.
Hair can show daily calcium changes, linked to body calcium levels and influenced by hormones, and can help assess calcium metabolism issues.
