TLDR Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.
The study by Harry W. J. Harding and George E. Rogers investigated the presence of iε-(γ-Glutamyl) lysine cross-linkages in citrulline-containing protein fractions from hair. This research provided insights into the biochemical properties of hair proteins, particularly focusing on the cross-linking mechanisms that contribute to the structural integrity of hair. The findings highlighted the role of these specific cross-linkages in the stability and resilience of hair protein structures. However, the document did not specify the number of participants or samples involved in the study.
