research Seasonal variation in hair follicle activity and fibre growth of both male and female Merghoz goats in Western Iran
Goat hair growth and follicle activity change with the seasons and differ between males and females.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Effects of Hair Fibers on Braking Friction Materials
Adding 1% hair fibers to brake materials improves friction and wear, making them more effective.
research Systems Approach to Human Hair Fibers: Interdependence Between Physical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Geometric Properties of Natural Healthy Hair
Hair properties are interconnected; a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach is essential for understanding hair behavior.
research Hair today, gone tomorrow: the degradation and conservation of archaeological hair fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles
Researchers developed a new method to identify animal hair in textiles, which is effective for various fibers and more reliable than previous methods.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Examining polyquaternium polymers deposition on human excised hair fibers
Certain polymers can stick to hair and increase volume, working best at a pH of 7 to 9.
research Human Hair as a Testing Substrate in the Era of Precision Medicine: Potential Role of ‘Omics-Based Approaches
Human hair shows promise for non-invasive medical testing, but more research is needed to standardize its use.
research A reciprocal lattice approach to assessing the luster of hair fibers, based on scattering by periodically deformed cylinders
A new method helps understand hair shine and various products improve hair care.
research Fiber-Safe Extraction of Red Mordant Dyes from Hair Fibers
A new method extracts red dyes from wool without damaging it, although it slightly weakens the wool.
research Fiber-Safe Extraction of Red Mordant Dyes from Hair Fibers
Researchers developed a less damaging way to extract red dyes from wool using EDTA and DMF, preserving the fiber's strength for further analysis.
research Wear characteristics of epoxy based hybrid composites reinforced with short hair fibers and glass micro spheres
Adding human hair fibers and glass micro-spheres to epoxy improves its wear resistance and strength.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research At the dawn of hair research – testing the limits of hair follicle regeneration
Hair follicle regeneration is possible but challenging, especially in humans, due to the need for specific cells and a better understanding of how they signal growth.
research Tensile properties of twisted hair fibers
Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.
research Hair follicle characteristics and fibre production in South American camelids
South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.
research Study on modification of rabbit hair fibers with L-cysteine
L-cysteine and ultrasound successfully improved rabbit hair fibers for industrial use.
research Geometric classification of scalp hair for valid drug testing, 6 more reliable than 8 hair curl groups
A 6-group hair classification is more reliable for drug testing than an 8-group system.
research Analyzing the laser-light reflection from human hair fibers Part1: Light components underlying the goniophotometric curves and fiber cuticle angles
Hair color affects light reflection, with black hair having higher cuticle angles and lighter hair showing less specular reflection.
research Micro-segmental analysis of the entry pathway and distribution of zolpidem in hair from different scalp regions after a single dose
Zolpidem shows up in hair from the top back of the head after one dose and fades over time, suggesting it gets into hair through blood and sweat.
research Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Treatment of Human Hair Fibers
Plasma jet treatments can clean hair and might replace peroxide for hair care.
research Enzyme Treatment of Wool and Specialty Hair Fibers
Enzymes xylanase and pectinase clean wool and specialty hair fibers effectively without damage, offering an eco-friendly alternative to soap and hot water.
research Microscopic high-resolution digital volumetric imaging of human hair fibers
