TLDR Hair movement can indicate hair quality and health.
The study utilized atomic force microscopy to explore the interactions between single hair fibers, focusing on surface forces, resistance, and friction. This method provided insights into the effects of chemical modifications on hair fibers, potentially aiding in diagnosing hair pathologies. The research highlighted the importance of hair movement as an indicator of hair quality and health, demonstrating the technique's versatility in evaluating hair's surface dynamics and interactions.
