research In-Situ Tensile Testing of Hair Fibers in An Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)
Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.
research Water-Soluble Polymers in Hair Care
Alkaline hair relaxers damage hair, but cationic and non-ionic polymers can help reduce this damage.
research Biomechanics of chemically treated hair for continuous 1D strands
NaOH treatment improves hair strength and suitability for textiles.
research Quantifying the effects of repeated dyeing: morphological, mechanical, and chemical changes in human hair fibers
Repeated hair dyeing significantly damages hair.
research Healthy Hair: What Is it?
Healthy hair is shiny, smooth, and has clean ends.
research Biodegradable composite from discarded hair keratin and graphene oxide with improved mechanical, thermal and barrier properties: an eco‐friendly solution to waste materials
The keratin-graphene oxide composite is stronger, more heat resistant, and better at blocking gases than pure keratin, offering an eco-friendly use for waste hair.
research Dilated human hair fiber after exposure to flames for 'split ends' cutting.
The Brazilian candle flame technique can damage hair by melting the cuticle and exposing the cortex.
research Low-level light therapy and hair loss
Low-level light therapy is FDA-approved for male pattern hair loss, increases hair count and strength, and is considered safe for use.
research Replenishing amino acids in damaged hair
Adding amino acids to damaged hair can improve its strength and appearance.
research Activating an adaptive immune response from a hydrogel scaffold imparts regenerative wound healing
Hydrogel scaffolds can help wounds heal better and grow hair.
research Impaired wound healing in transgenic mice overexpressing the activin antagonist follistatin in the epidermis
Overexpressing follistatin in mice delays wound healing and reduces scar size.
research Preparation and Properties of PVA/ZIF‐8 Sustained‐Release Fiber Loaded With Minoxidil Sulfate
The new fiber offers long-lasting minoxidil release and can be used in wigs for hair treatment and coverage.
research Microporous Dermal-Like Electrospun Scaffolds Promote Accelerated Skin Regeneration
Microporous scaffolds speed up skin healing and regeneration.
research Effect of varied hair protein fractions on the gel properties of keratin/chitosan hydrogels for the use in tissue engineering
Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.
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 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 Effects of Hair Follicle Stem Cells on Partial-Thickness Burn Wound Healing and Tensile Strength
Hair follicle stem cells help burns heal faster and stronger.
research Analysis of structural changes in permanent waved human hair using Raman spectroscopy
Permanent waving weakens hair by altering its protein structure.
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 Transgenic mice overexpressing CD109 in the epidermis display decreased inflammation and granulation tissue and improved collagen architecture during wound healing
Mice genetically modified to produce more CD109 in their skin had less inflammation and better healing with less scarring.
research Ultrasonic and Infrared Hair Treatment: Scientific Justification and Application Practice
Ultrasonic and infrared treatments can improve hair strength and appearance with minimal damage.
research In situ tensile deformation characterization of human hair with atomic force microscopy
AFM helped show how hair changes under tension and the effects of damage and conditioner.
research An Innovative Experimental Petrographic Study of Concrete Produced by Animal Bones and Human Hair Fibers
Concrete made from animal bones and human hair is stronger and more environmentally friendly than traditional concrete.
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 Development of predictive regression model for perceived hair breakage in Indian consumers
The model predicts hair breakage based on key hair properties and helps product developers.
research Transplantation of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal and epidermal stem cells contribute to wound healing with different regenerative features
Bone-marrow and epidermal stem cells help heal wounds differently, with bone-marrow cells aiding in blood vessel formation and epidermal cells in hair growth.
research Sustainable Biopolymer Based on Tung Oil and Tung Free Fatty Acids for Hair Tensile Enhancement
The TO-TF copolymer strengthens damaged hair effectively and sustainably.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
