research Investigating the relationship between the hair fiber proteome and hair quality
Hair quality is genetically determined and linked to its composition and strength.
research Effect of anti-keratin antibody on the nature of hair
Anti-keratin antibody from cow milk makes damaged hair stronger and less likely to break.
research Structural Abnormalities in the Hair of a Patient with a Novel Ribosomopathy
The patient's hair was thinner and had fewer lipids due to a genetic mutation.
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 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 TENSILE STRENGTH OF SCALP HAIR IN WOMEN WITH HAIR LOSS
Women with hair loss have weaker hair that breaks more easily.
research Development of novel wound dressing based on elastin-like recombinamers for skin regeneration
Elastin-like recombinamers show promise for better wound healing and skin regeneration.
research Skin aging as a mechanical phenomenon: The main weak links
Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.
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 Fractography of human hair
Moisture content significantly affects how human hair breaks.
research Biomechanical properties of scalp flaps and their correlations to reconstructive and aesthetic surgery procedures
Scalp flaps are stiffer than skin from other body areas, which helps in planning reconstructive and cosmetic head surgeries.
