This study found that coconut oil impedes hair hydration more effectively than soybean oil by penetrating deeper, and suggested a new model for intermediate filament assembly in hair.

Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.

Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.

Hair follicles form hard α-keratin filaments in four steps, showing structural differences.

This study reports that expressed mouse type Ia and type IIa trichocyte keratins were successfully assembled into intermediate filaments in vitro, while also suggesting that disulfide bond cross linking enhances their stability.
