research Human pollution exposure correlates with accelerated ultrastructural degradation of hair fibers
Pollution exposure speeds up hair damage.
research Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Human Hair Fiber Structure
Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.
research Charge density alterations in human hair fibers: an investigation using electrostatic force microscopy
The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.
research Change in surface chemistry of the cuticle of human hair by chemical and photochemical oxidation
Oxidation changes human hair by breaking down fats and forming new acidic groups, affecting how it interacts with conditioners and cosmetics.
research Dilated human hair fiber after exposure to flames for 'split ends' cutting.
The Brazilian candle flame technique can damage hair by melting the cuticle and exposing the cortex.
research The effect of treatments on the shear modulus of human hair measured by the single fiber torsion pendulum.
Different treatments change the strength and flexibility of human hair.
research Chemical and physical treatments damage Caucasian and Afro‐ethnic hair fibre: analytical and image assays
Chemical and physical treatments like bleaching, dyeing, and UV radiation damage both Caucasian and Afro-ethnic hair.
research Cosmetic trichology: Hair cosmetics, styling, and their effect on the hair fiber!
Hair styling products can damage hair over time.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
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 Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Morphology Analysis of Hair Photoinduced and Chemical Damaged After Treatment with Sappan Wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) Hair Tonic using SEM
Sappan wood hair tonic helps protect and repair damaged hair.
research Hair Styling: Technology and Formulations
Hair styling products and tools help improve hair's look and manageability but can damage hair if used incorrectly.
research Morphology and ultrastructure of antler velvet hair and body hair from red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.
research Analysis of structural change in keratin fibers resulting from chemical treatments using Raman spectroscopy
Chemical hair straightening changes hair proteins and mostly fixes broken bonds.
research Advances in the Chemical Structure of the Hair Surface, Surface Forces and Interactions
Understanding hair surface properties is key for effective hair care products.
research The Degradative Characteristics of Hair in The Water Samples with Altered pH
Hair fibers degrade and change color in very basic water.
research In situ tensile deformation characterization of human hair with atomic force microscopy
AFM helped show how hair changes under tension and the effects of damage and conditioner.
research Nanomechanical characterization of human hair using nanoindentation and SEM
Human hair's strength and flexibility vary by ethnicity, damage, and treatment.
research The shampoo pH can affect the hair: Myth or Reality?
Shampoo pH can affect hair health, with alkaline shampoos potentially causing damage and acidic shampoos reducing frizz.
research Variation in human hair ultrastructure among three biogeographic populations
Different populations have distinct hair structures related to their ancestry.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Extractable substances from human hair: a discussion about the origin of the holes
Holes in mature hair are likely caused by the removal of substances during hair care.
research Torsional method for evaluating hair damage and performance of hair care ingredients
The torsional method effectively evaluates hair damage and the performance of hair care ingredients.
research Photodegradation of human hair: a microscopy study
UV radiation significantly damages hair, especially with humidity, making it more vulnerable to further damage.
research Water-Soluble Polymers in Hair Care
Alkaline hair relaxers damage hair, but cationic and non-ionic polymers can help reduce this damage.
research Interaction of polypeptides with hair in different reducing environments
Small KP peptide improves hair without reducing agents, while larger proteins need them for better results.
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.
