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 Some Tensile Properties of Specialty Hair Fibers
Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.
research Single hair fiber assessment techniques to discriminate between mineral oil and coconut oil effect on hair physical properties
Coconut oil makes hair stronger and more flexible than mineral oil.
research Quantifying the effects of repeated dyeing: morphological, mechanical, and chemical changes in human hair fibers
Repeated hair dyeing significantly damages hair.
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 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 Age, lifestyle and self‐perceptions of hair: Is there an association with hair diameter and tensile properties?
Older age and certain lifestyles are linked to thinner, weaker hair, while how you see your hair relates to its thickness.
research The logic of follicular unit transplantation
The document concludes that follicular unit transplantation offers more natural results and better graft survival than older hair transplant methods.
research A novel cosmetic approach to treat thinning hair
A new hair treatment with caffeine and other ingredients makes hair thicker and less likely to break.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research Effect of scalp position on tensile properties of single hair fibers
Hair strength is similar across different scalp areas, and not affected by age, gender, or hair thickness.
research Cyclic combing of untreated and bleached human hair: Analysis of the time‐dependent breakage of hair through recording the formation of fibre fragments
Friction causes hair breakage during combing, and fragment count predicts hair strength.
research Understanding Curly Hair Mechanics: Fiber Strength
Curly hair is mechanically different from straight hair and may need new testing methods.
research Penetration of different molecular weight hydrolysed keratins into hair fibres and their effects on the physical properties of textured hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
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 Dose-Dependent Histopathological and Structural Impact of Chemical Hair-Straighteners on Scalp Epithelium and Hair-Fibres Using Albino Wistar Rats
Chemical hair straighteners can severely damage hair and scalp with repeated use.
research Application of amber filler for production of novel polyamide composite fiber
Adding amber particles to polyamide fibers makes them suitable for medical textiles like compression socks.
research Spatiotemporal Expression and Haplotypes Identification of KRT84 Gene and Their Association with Wool Traits in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep
The KRT84 gene is linked to better wool quality in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep.
research Studies of light scattering from ethnic hair fibers
Different hair types from various ethnic groups affect hair shine due to characteristics like thickness and shape.
research Analyzing the laser‐light reflection from human hair fibers. II. Deriving a measure of hair luster
The conclusion is that a new method to measure hair shine was confirmed to match people's visual assessments.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells promote tendon repair in a rabbit Achilles tendinopathy model
Human hair follicle stem cells help repair tendon injuries.
research Physical characterization of the hair of Mexican women
Mexican women's hair is between Asian and Caucasian hair in thickness and shape, with varied strength and some damage.
research Tensile properties of twisted hair fibers
Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.
research Effect of ethnicity and treatments on in situ tensile response and morphological changes of human hair characterized by atomic force microscopy
Different ethnicities and treatments affect human hair strength and structure.
research Measurements of tension on wound edges after strip harvest surgery
Wound tension after hair transplant surgery increases with strip size and is higher on the sides, affecting scarring.
research Development of a stiffness‐angle law for simplifying the measurement of human hair stiffness
Hair stiffness increased by 13.2% after caffeine treatment, validating the Stiffness-Angle Law as an effective measurement method.
research Physical and mechanical properties of the hair shaft: A review of measurement techniques to verify the efficacy of cosmetic products
Different techniques measure hair properties to ensure cosmetic products work.
research In Vitro Methodologies to Evaluate the Effects of Hair Care Products on Hair Fiber
Different tests are used to see how hair care products affect hair, and choosing the right test is important for accurate results.
