research A Nationwide Outbreak of Alopecia Associated With the Use of a Hair-Relaxing Formulation
A hair-straightening product caused widespread hair loss and scalp injuries, mainly affecting African American women.
research Chemical hair relaxer use and its potential effect on incidence of endometrial cancer in Black women.
Frequent use of chemical hair relaxers may increase endometrial cancer risk in Black women.
research Reduction mechanism of L ‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.
research Influence of Amino Acids on the Hair Structure Before and During Chemical Treatments
Amino acids like arginine and cysteine protect hair during chemical treatments, keeping it strong and less brittle.
research What do we need to know about hair straightening?
Modern hair straightening improves manageability and strength while maintaining natural waves.
research Scalp alopecias in richly pigmented patients
Hair care practices like using relaxers and tight braiding can lead to permanent hair loss in black women.
research Analysis of heterogeneous reaction between reducing agents and keratin fibers using Raman spectroscopy and microspectrophotometry
The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.
research Characterization of hair lipid and protein dynamics using EPR spectroscopy and treatment effects
Hair treatments and dehydration affect hair's lipid and protein behavior, influencing its flexibility and appearance.
research Formaldehyde replacement with glyoxylic acid in semipermanent hair straightening: a new and multidisciplinary investigation
Glyoxylic acid is a safer alternative to formaldehyde for hair straightening and effectively changes hair structure.
research The Secrets of Beautiful Hair: Why is it Flexible and Elastic?
