research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Relaxing the Arrector Pili Muscle might make curly hair straighter.
research Hair—the most sophisticated biological composite material
Hair is a complex protein fiber with unique properties useful for developing hair products.
research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Unruly hair
The document concludes that unruly hair can be congenital or acquired, often lacks specific treatments, and can be managed with oils and short hairstyles.
research ‘Plica neuropathica’: Matting of Hair
A girl's severely tangled hair couldn't be fixed and had to be cut due to a rare condition called plica neuropathica.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research X-rays studies of the structure of hair, wool, and related fibres. II. - The molecular structure and elastic properties of hair keratin
Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.
research Pseudopili Annulati in a Dark‐Haired Individual: A Light and Electron Microscopic Study
A dark-haired Chinese girl had hair that looked banded under certain light but was normal under a microscope.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Curly hair may be caused by a muscle contraction, and muscle relaxants might help treat it.
research Acquired curved hair is caused by fusion of multiple hair matrix cells
Curved hair can develop when hair cells merge abnormally during growth.
research Protein chains in hair and epidermal keratin IF: Structural features and spatial arrangements
research Keratin formation in the hair follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Woolly Hair in Two Siblings
Two siblings have a rare genetic condition causing curly, coarse hair.
research Hair Keratin
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research [Frizzy hair pathology].
Frizzy hair is fragile and can lead to hair loss and damage if not properly cared for.
research Tight junctions form a barrier in porcine hair follicles
Tight junctions create a barrier in pig hair follicles that controls what can enter the skin.
research Dynamic ultrastructural changes of the connective tissue sheath of human hair follicles during hair cycle
The connective tissue around hair follicles changes structure throughout the hair cycle.
research A Study of Aggregation Structures and Tensile Properties of Hair Fibers
research Isolation and properties of inner sheath cells of hair follicles
research New aspects of the structure of human hair on the basis of optical microscopic observations of disassembled hair parts.
Human hair's strength comes from a honeycomb-like structure and macrofibrils.
research Circle hairs are not rolled hairs
research Mechanical anisotropy of hair affected by genetic diseases highlights structural information related to differential crosslinking in keratins
research Pili Annulati
The patient's hair has unique structural differences with alternating bright and dark bands.
research The twisting tale of woolly hair: a trait with many causes
New genes linked to woolly hair have been found, which could help treat it and change hair texture.
research De novo filament formation by human hair keratins K85 and K35 follows a filament development pattern distinct from cytokeratin filament networks
Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.
