Hormones, nutrition, and seasonal changes regulate hair growth cycles, with androgens extending growth phases and factors like aging and malnutrition affecting hair loss and thinning.
research Variation in human hair ultrastructure among three biogeographic populations
Different populations have distinct hair structures related to their ancestry.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.

research Diseases on Hair Follicles Leading to Hair Loss Part I: Nonscarring Alopecias
Common types of non-scarring hair loss have various causes and treatments, but more effective solutions are needed.
research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Destruction
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Structure and hair follicle-specific expression of genes encoding the rat high sulfur protein B2 family
The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.
research A highly resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects 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 Mechanism of Cuticle Hole Development in Human Hair Due to UV-Radiation Exposure
UV radiation damages hair by creating holes and peeling cuticle layers.
research Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair
Hair absorbs molecules differently based on their size, charge, and love for water, and less at higher pH; this can help make better hair products.
research Structural changes of hair shaft after application of chemical hair straighteners: Clinical and histopathological study
Chemical hair straightening improves smoothness and shine but may cause side effects, suggesting a need for safer methods.
research Expression of the RORα gene in Inner Mongolian cashmere goat hair follicles
The RORα gene is active in different parts of cashmere goat hair follicles and may be influenced by melatonin, especially in December when hair growth changes.
