research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Damage
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Effect of Equilibrium pH on the Structure and Properties of Bleach-Damaged Human Hair Fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Physical and Mechanical Properties of the Hair Shaft: A Review of Measurement Techniques to Verify the Efficacy of Cosmetic Products
Different techniques measure hair properties to ensure cosmetic products work.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Mechanical and Biological Properties of Keratose Biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Effect of Varied Hair Protein Fractions on the Gel Properties of Keratin/Chitosan Hydrogels for Use in Tissue Engineering
Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.
research Keratin Network Modifications Lead to the Mechanical Stiffening of the Hair Follicle Fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Protein Disulfide Isomerase-Mediated Grafting of Cysteine-Containing Peptides onto Over-Bleached Hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research Heat-Damaged Evaluation of Virgin Hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Insights on the Mechanical Behavior of Keratin Fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
research External Lipid Function in Ethnic Hairs
African hair has the most lipids, while Caucasian hair is more hydrated and stronger.
research Ultrastructural Immunolocalization of Involucrin in the Medulla and Inner Root Sheath of Human Hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research PH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on a Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Cosmetics and Cosmeceutical Applications of Chitin, Chitosan, and Their Derivatives
Chitin and chitosan are useful in cosmetics for oral care, haircare, and skincare, including UV protection and strength improvement.
research Hair Cosmetics: An Overview
Dermatologists need to understand hair products to treat hair and scalp issues better.
research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research Pilosebaceous Physiology in Relation to Hirsutism and Acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research Hair Coloring, Permanent Styling, and Hair Structure
Frequent hair coloring and styling can damage hair and cause breakage or loss.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: An Update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Trichohyalin: Presence in the Granular Layer and Stratum Corneum of Normal Human Epidermis
