research Single hair fiber assessment techniques to discriminate between mineral oil and coconut oil effect on hair physical properties
Coconut oil makes hair stronger and more flexible than mineral oil.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Quantifying hair shape is better than using racial categories for understanding hair characteristics.
research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Hair today, gone tomorrow: the degradation and conservation of archaeological hair fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research In-Situ Tensile Testing of Hair Fibers in An Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)
Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.
