4 / 4 results

research A Case Report of Alopecia Totalis Associated with Permanent Hair Dye Use

4 citations , June 2020 in “JAAD case reports”

This study presents a rare case of alopecia totalis occurring after the use of permanent hair dye.

research Optical Coherence Tomography to Evaluate the Effects of Oxidative Hair Dye on the Fiber

4 citations , January 2016 in “Skin research and technology”

This study found that oxidative hair dyes altered the color and ultrastructure of Caucasian hair but did not significantly affect the hair's breaking strength.

research Optical Coherence Tomography: Promising In Vivo Measurement of Hair Shaft Cross Section

10 citations , January 2011 in “Journal of biomedical optics”

This study found that optical coherence tomography provides highly reproducible and less variable measurements of hair shaft thickness compared to standard light microscopy, offering a promising noninvasive tool for clinical practice.

research Prospective Ultramorphological Characterization of Human Hair by Optical Coherence Tomography

18 citations , August 2009 in “Skin Research and Technology”

In this study, optical coherence tomography was used to produce 3D images of human hair, revealing that after chemical treatment with ammonium thioglycolate, the main hair structures were not identifiable due to damage.
