research Investigation of human hair fibers using lateral force microscopy
Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.
research Measuring changes in chemistry, composition, and molecular structure within hair fibers by infrared and Raman spectroscopic imaging
Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.
research Investigation of aging effects in human hair using atomic force microscopy
Aging makes hair thinner and rougher, with less clear edges.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Role of scalp health in achieving optimal hair growth and retention
Healthy scalp leads to better hair quality and less damage.
research Hair Lipid Structure: Effect of Surfactants
Surfactants in shampoos and conditioners remove some but not all lipids from hair, and more research is needed to understand their full impact.
research Scanning electron microscopes/silicon drift detector-energy dispersive spectroscopy: An analytical tool to identify waterborne microminerals pickup in human scalp hair cuticle due to water quality
The method can identify minerals in hair from water, and using coconut oil or conditioner can prevent mineral buildup.
research Ultrasonic and Infrared Hair Treatment: Scientific Justification and Application Practice
Ultrasonic and infrared treatments can improve hair strength and appearance with minimal damage.
research Evaluation of hair surface structure and morphology of patients with lichen planopilaris (LPP) by atomic force microscopy (AFM)
AFM can help diagnose lichen planopilaris by identifying specific hair structure changes.
research An Investigation of Hair and its Keratin Associated Proteins using Advanced Light Microscopy
Advanced microscopy shows hair damage and keratin proteins' roles, aiding future cosmetic treatments.
research Hair Straightening
Hair straightening methods have advanced to improve effectiveness and reduce damage, but still rely on heat and chemicals.
research Heat‐damaged evaluation of virgin hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Integral hair lipid in human hair follicle
Human hair has a protective lipid layer that can be damaged by moisture and treatments, affecting hair growth and health.
research Preparation of Water Soluble Wool Keratin and Its Application for Human Hair
Water-soluble wool keratin can protect human hair from damage during treatments.
research Analysis of structural changes in permanent waved human hair using Raman spectroscopy
Permanent waving weakens hair by altering its protein structure.
research Compartmentation of Mitochondrial and Oxidative Metabolism in Growing Hair Follicles: A Ring of Fire
Growing hair follicles have high mitochondrial activity and ROS in specific regions, aiding hair formation.
research Fractography of human hair
Moisture content significantly affects how human hair breaks.
research Abnormal inner root sheath of the hair follicle in the loose anagen hair syndrome: An ultrastructural study
Loose anagen hair syndrome is caused by structural abnormalities in the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
research Evidence for various calcium sites in human hair shaft revealed by sub-micrometer X-ray fluorescence
The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.
research Engineering the niche for hair regeneration — A critical review
Further research is needed to improve hair regeneration using stem cells and nanomaterials.
research Reactive keratin derivatives: A promising strategy for covalent binding to hair
Modified keratin binds better to hair, especially bleached hair.
research Hair Morphology in Androgenetic Alopecia
Abnormal cuticle and hair shaft medulla cause hair loss in androgenetic alopecia; sonography helps diagnose and manage it.
research The G60S Connexin43 Mutant Regulates Hair Growth and Hair Fiber Morphology in a Mouse Model of Human Oculodentodigital Dysplasia
The G60S Connexin43 mutation causes hair growth issues and poor hair quality in mice, similar to human ODDD patients.
research An ultrastructural study on corkscrew hairs and cigarette‐ash‐shaped hairs observed by dermoscopy of tinea capitis
Corkscrew and cigarette-ash-shaped hairs in tinea capitis are caused by internal hair degradation and external resistance.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Cross-linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research On the correlation between the curvature of the human eyelash and its geometrical features
Eyelash curvature is linked to the thickness of the cuticle layer at the root.
research Scanning Electron Microscopy Approach for Evaluation of Hair Dyed with Lawsonia inermis Powder: in vitro Study
Henna dye improves hair cuticle and thickness but effects vary by hair type and health.
