A young Caucasian girl had both woolly hair and alopecia areata, which is rare.
research A Keratin Fiber Sheath
Hair fibers may have a unique, non-protein sheath not previously identified.
research Physical Properties of Human Hair. 1. Evaluation of Bending Stress by Measuring the Major and the Minor Axis of Human Hair.
The cuticle significantly contributes to hair stiffness, making up about 60% of the total bending stress.

research IRF2BP2 genes provide new insights into coat type and fiber composition variation in sheep
The IRF2BP2 gene affects sheep fleece quality by influencing fiber traits.
research Acquired morphological changes of mammalian hair scales
Mammalian hair scales change from smooth to wavy due to friction.
research Clinicopathological insights into the phenotypic variation of autosomal recessive hypotrichosis/wooly hair by c.736T>A LIPH mutation
The conclusion is that the variation in hair thinness in patients is mostly due to the amount of underdeveloped hairs, and treatments that thicken fine hairs might work for those with mild to severe conditions.
research Curl pattern classification: A potential tool for communication and risk stratification
Classifying curl patterns might help doctors assess and treat hair loss better.
research Organization of microfibrils in keratin fibers studied by X-ray scattering
The study improved understanding of keratin fiber structure by showing consistent microfibril diameter but varying distances and electron density profiles.

The method effectively measures hair elasticity and could be useful in forensics.
research Coexistence of Woolly Hair and Monilethrix: A Cases Study
Two sisters have rare hair disorders causing short, fragile, kinky hair.
research Research of protein grafting and cross-linking technology on pilling resistance of rabbit hair fabric
Milk protein treatment reduces pilling in rabbit hair fabric.
research Diagnosis and treatment of isolated autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis

LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.
research Observation on Hair Fiber Microstructure of Blue fox,Mink and Otter Rabbit
Otter rabbit, mink, and blue fox fur can be identified by their unique hair structures.
research Tensile properties of twisted hair fibers
Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.
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 Isolated autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis: genetics, pathogenesis and therapies
Topical minoxidil may help treat a rare genetic hair condition with no fully effective treatments yet.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
