Certain polymers can stick to hair and increase volume, working best at a pH of 7 to 9.
research Self Organized Skin Equivalent by Epithelial and Fibroblast Cells on Polycaprolactone Electrospun Mat with Porous Fibers
Researchers created a potential skin substitute using a biodegradable mat that supports skin cell growth and layer formation.
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 Effects of combined use of keratinolytic enzymes and sugarcane fibre on the hairball excretion in cats
Combining sugarcane fiber and enzymes reduces hairballs in cats.
research Automatic Artificial Hair Implant: Safety and Efficacy in Androgenetic Alopecia. A Prospective Study with a Highly Biocompatible Fiber
Implant safely and effectively treats hair loss.
research Effect of age and sex on fiber and follicle characteristics of an Iranian native sheep
As sheep age, their hair fibers and follicles grow larger and more organized, with no significant differences between males and females.
research Hair colouring systems delivering colour with reduced fibre damage
Using chelants in hair dye reduces fiber damage by preventing harmful radicals.
research The Endocrine control of fibre growth and shedding in cashmere goats
Hormones and daylight changes control when cashmere goats shed their hair.
research Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis of Reconstructive Hair Fibers.

research Application of single hair fibre tensile measurements to create an industry‐standard heat damage scale for hair
A new 6-point scale reliably measures heat damage to hair from styling tools.
research Editorial: Animal fibers
Animal fibers are valued for being natural and eco-friendly, but face challenges like price volatility and a focus on meat over fiber.
research Quantifying whole human hair scalp fibres of varying curl: A micro‐computed tomographic study
Human hair varies in structure based on curl type, with high curl hair showing the most differences.
research Enzymatic Crosslinking of Amino Acids Improves the Repair Effect of Keratin on Hair Fibre

A new method effectively visualizes keratin in hair without harsh chemicals.
research 509 Using the human iPSCs-derived sensory neurons re-innervated skin ex vivo model to investigate mast cell-nerve fiber cross-talk in solar elastosis
Nerve fibers may worsen mast cell activity, leading to abnormal elastic fiber buildup from sun exposure.
research Impact of Hair Damage on the Penetration Profile of Coconut, Avocado, and Argan Oils into Caucasian Hair Fibers
Different oils affect hair flexibility and strength, with their impact varying on whether hair is virgin or bleached.
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.
