February 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study analyzed how professional hairstyling practices cause thermal damage to human hair, focusing on heat exposure and product use, and proposed a protocol for minimizing damage with heat protection strategies and optimal temperature recommendations.
February 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” The study analyzed how professional hairstyling practices, such as excessive heat and product use, cause thermal damage to hair, and it proposed a protocol that includes heat protection strategies and optimal temperature ranges to minimize this damage for hairstylists.
May 2026 in “Journal of Health Sciences and Medicine” This study found that biotinoyl tripeptide-1-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles significantly improved thermal protection in hair, enhancing cuticle integrity and resistance to heat damage, compared to control samples.
March 2026 in “DergiPark (Istanbul University)” In this study, BTP-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles were developed and shown to protect hair from heat-induced damage by enhancing cuticle integrity and thermal resistance in simulated thermal straightening conditions.
This study used an ex vivo human skin model to show that tropical conditions disrupt skin homeostasis, resulting in epidermal thickening and junctional flattening, and found that Kombucha tea extract may help preserve skin structure under such stress.
