The torsional method effectively evaluates hair damage and the performance of hair care ingredients.
research X-rays studies of the structure of hair, wool, and related fibres. II. - The molecular structure and elastic properties of hair keratin
Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.
research BH11 Cutis verticis gyrata associated with chronic traction
Tight hairstyles can cause a rare scalp condition with thick skin folds.
research Curly bare (cub), a new mouse mutation on chromosome 11 causing skin and hair abnormalities, and a modifier gene (mcub) on chromosome 5
A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.
research Wool fiber curvature is correlated with abundance of K38 and specific keratin‐associated proteins
Wool fiber curliness is linked to the presence of certain proteins and K38.
research Tribological Properties between Taut Hair Fibers in Wet Conditions: A New Shampoo Formulation for Eliminating Stick‐Slip Friction
Shampoo B, which uses water-soluble silicone, is better at detangling hair in wet conditions due to its two-layer conditioning film.
research Alignment control and softness creation in hair with glycylglycine.
Glycylglycine makes hair softer by improving alignment and changing hair's internal properties.
