research Analysis of structural changes in permanent waved human hair using Raman spectroscopy

45 citations , December 2006 in “Biopolymers”

This study found that permanent waving treatment induces structural changes in the cortex proteins of white human hair, significantly reducing its tensile strength without altering the S-S band intensity.

research Insights on the Hair Keratin Structure Under Different Drying Conditions

September 2023 in “Journal of Natural Fibers”

This study found that using a microfiber towel to dry human hair better preserves hair keratin integrity and wear resistance compared to blow-drying or using a cotton towel, as indicated by stronger alpha-helix structure in FTIR analysis.

research Structural change of keratin protein in human hair by permanent waving treatment

70 citations , June 1998 in “Polymer”

This study found that permanent waving treatment partially disrupts the α-helical structure in human hair microfibrils, primarily during the initial reduction phase, rather than just affecting disulphide bonds.

research Proteopedia entry: Coiled‐coil structure of keratins

10 citations , November 2013 in “Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education”

This review discusses the history, structure, and biological significance of keratins, including the crystal structure of a keratin helical segment, without reporting new experimental results.

research Secondary structure estimation and properties analysis of stretched Asian and Caucasian hair

9 citations , July 2014 in “Skin research and technology”

This study found that Caucasian hair is destroyed more easily than Asian hair when stretched, as indicated by changes in secondary structure, disulfide bond breakage, and physical disintegration.

community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?

32 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
