840-870 / 1000+ results research EXPRESS: Structure Evolution in Hair Fibres During Strain and the Effect of Relative Humidity
Humidity affects hair structure changes during stretching.
research Discrete Nanoscale Distribution of Hair Lipids Fails to Provide Humidity Resistance
Hair lipids do not protect against humidity.
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 The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
research Development of a three‐point cantilever bending technique to study the mechanical properties of hair styling ingredients
The technique helps measure how hair styling ingredients affect hair's stiffness and flexibility.
research Tactile and hair-hair friction behavior of hair fibers
Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.
research The effect of relative humidity on the spreading of ethanol on human hair fibers
Ethanol spreads well on hair at low humidity but less so at higher humidity due to water condensation.
research Molecular characterization of xerosis cutis: A systematic review
It's unclear which molecules best characterize dry skin due to inconsistent findings.
research Low Humidity Alters Epidermal Gene Expression in vivo
Low humidity changes skin gene expression, but emollients can help manage these changes.
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 Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research Body moisturizer usage compliance and its impact on dry skin improvement
Regular use of in-shower lotion can improve dry skin better than traditional moisturizers.
research Solubility of Foreign Molecules in Stratum Corneum Brick and Mortar Structure
Solubility in skin changes with hydration, affecting chemical absorption.
research The Interaction of Hair Fibers with Alkali Bromide Solutions
Hair absorbs alkali bromide salts and water, affecting its structure, with absorption decreasing at higher temperatures.
research Effects of environmental humidity on epidermal physiology
Low humidity harms skin health by damaging the skin barrier and increasing inflammation.
research The effects of hydrophobic modifications on the interaction of human hair with water
Hydrophobic modifications make human hair less affected by water.
research Marangoni effect in the water wetting of surfactant coated human hair fibers
The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.
research Does dry skin indicate defective epidermal permeability barrier?
Dry skin does not mean the skin's protective barrier is broken; it's often due to a lack of natural skin moisturizers.
research ToF‐SIMS characterization of the lipid layer on the hair surface. II : Effect of the 18‐MEA lipid layer on surface hydrophobicity
18-MEA is essential for hair's water resistance, and a conditioner with 18-MEA and SPDA can restore it.
research Tribological Properties between Taut Hair Fibers in Wet Conditions: A New Shampoo Formulation for Eliminating Stick‐Slip Friction
Shampoo B, which uses water-soluble silicone, is better at detangling hair in wet conditions due to its two-layer conditioning film.
research Spatial Probing of the Properties of the Human Hair Surface Using Wilhelmy Force Profiles
Human hair surface varies in wettability, showing daily and monthly patterns.
research The frictional properties of wool and related hair fibers.
research Thermal and mechanical transitions in keratins and their relevance for hair cosmetics
High temperatures and cosmetic processes can damage hair keratin, affecting its structure and strength.
research Failure of intercellular adhesion in hair fibers with regard to hair condition and strain conditions
Hair breaks differently when wet or dry and is affected by its condition and treatments like perms and bleaching.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on an Atomistic Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin-Associated Protein 5-1
Damaged hair allows water to penetrate more easily, and fatty acids from shampoos can deposit on hair surfaces.
research Torsional behavior of human hair
Water makes hair more flexible, especially the outer layer.
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 The adsorption behavior of cationic surfactant onto human hair fibers
A certain surfactant sticks to human hair, making it change from water-repelling to water-attracting, which could help in hair conditioning.
research Friction and wear studies of human hair and skin
Human hair and skin friction vary by ethnicity, hair type, and environmental conditions.
