The evolution of mammal body hair remains a mystery.
research Characterization of Hair Follicles in Hirosaki Hairless Rats with Deletion of Basic Hair Keratin Genes. Enlarged Medulla, Loss of Cuticle and Long Catagen
Hirosaki hairless rats have sparse, twisted hair due to missing hair keratin genes.
research A method to measure oil penetration into hair and correlation to tensile strength
Type 3 hair oil strengthens hair more than coconut oil.
research Heat transfer in human hair
Heat transfer in hair is slower in groups of hair, increasing the risk of damage from high-temperature styling tools.

Dermal papillae enhance hair follicle growth and structure.
research 53013 A Literature Review and Guidance on Traction Alopecia in Hijab-Wearing Patients
Tight hairstyles under hijabs cause traction alopecia, worsened by prolonged wear.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Termination Motif of KRT25 Causes Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice

New methods can better classify curly hair types and lead to improved hair care products.
research A novel method for visualizing hair lipids at the cell membrane complex: Argon sputter etching/scanning electron microscopy1
The method shows how hair lipids form specific patterns and their roles in hair structure.
research Cytochemistry of Trichohyalin Granules: A Possible Role for Cornification of Inner Root Sheath Cell in the Hair Follicle
Trichohyalin granules help inner root sheath cells in hair follicles harden by integrating with keratin filaments.
research Curly hair: measured differences and contributions to breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.

Recognizing both trichostasis spinulosa and eruptive vellus hair cysts together is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
research Prognosis and Management of Congenital Hair Shaft Disorders with Fragility—Part I
Some congenital hair disorders improve in childhood or with treatments like minoxidil and retinoids, while others like Netherton syndrome and trichothiodystrophy have a poor prognosis.
research In vitro Keratin Expression of Hair Cells
Hair cells grown in a lab showed specific hair proteins.
