research A Fatty Acid / Protein Complex in Human Hair
A fatty acid/protein complex in human hair helps protect it from damage.
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 Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Trichocyte (Hard α-Keratin) Intermediate Filaments Reveals a Low-Density Core
Trichocyte filaments have a low-density core and may include proteins for hair structure.
research The structure and organization of lanceolate mechanosensory complexes at mouse hair follicles
Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.
research Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
research Formation and Structure: An Introduction to Hair
Hair is important for social and sexual communication in humans.
research Analysis of slenderizing human hair fibers surface morphology
research Fractography of human hair

research Dual Case Reports for Lipid Loss from Human Hair
Changing hair's surface and structure can help protect its natural oils from being washed away.
research Electron microscope observations on the glassy layer of the hair follicle*1
The glassy layer of hair follicles has different fibril sizes and arrangements in guinea pigs and young mice.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.
research Exploring Mechanical Niches Identified by Hair Follicle Compression and How These Transduce Proliferation and Differentiation Cues in Epidermally Derived cells.
Less stiff collagen promotes higher cell growth in hair follicles.
research HAIR KERATINIZATION IN HEALTH AND DISEASE

research A systematic review on the lipid composition of human hair
Lipids are crucial for healthy hair, protecting it from damage and breakage.
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 Quasi-Static Torsional Deformation of Single Hair Fibers: Application of a Modeling Approach and Results from Cosmetic Treatments.
The research found that twisting hair fibers can show changes in stiffness and damage, and help tell apart different hair treatments.
research Phylogeny of the Hair Follicle: The Sebogenic Hypothesis
Hair follicles evolved from oil glands, with hair aiding secretion transport.
research Nanoindentation of Hair Cortex and Medulla Regions
research Investigation of penetration abilities of various oils into human hair fibers
