This study found that hair curvature in merino wool is influenced by differences in cell type length rather than the proportions of orthocortical and paracortical cells.

In this study, the bending stiffness of human hair was linked to the varying proportions of para-like versus ortho-like cortical cells within the hair fiber.

This study found that the curl in hair is due to the arrangement of different cell types, with shorter paracortical cells inside the curve and longer orthocortical cells outside.

This study examined hair curvature in Japanese women, finding that 47% have curved hair, and identified structural differences in hair fiber, which resemble those in wool fibers.

Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.
