May 2024 in “Proteome science” This study found that the PLEE method increased hair protein extraction efficiency threefold and that bleaching hair reduced the coverage of keratin and associated proteins, leading to poorer hair quality, though it did not affect the overall protein identification.
May 2024 in “Ultramicroscopy” Atomic Force Microscopy is a more accurate way to assess hair damage and the effect of cosmetic treatments.
January 2024 in “Uttar Pradesh journal of zoology” In this study, researchers found that chemical treatments like bleaching can cause severe damage to the hair cuticle, with previously modified hair showing complete deterioration compared to the partial degradation seen in virgin hair, highlighting the need for mindful cosmetic practices.
August 2023 in “Journal of Health and Beauty” This study found that the newly developed hair product K-30 increased both protein content and weight in chemically damaged hair to levels similar to healthy hair, unlike traditional products that only temporarily improve texture.
September 2015 in “Research Portal (King's College London)” This study quantified the effects of chemical treatments like oxidative bleaching and hair relaxing on the movement characteristics of hair strands using a novel high-speed recording method.
January 2013 in “Transactions of the Materials Research Society of Japan” In this study, carboxymethylalanyl disulfide keratin was shown to effectively prevent hair damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.
This study found that treatments like abrasion, bleaching, and CETAB application affect hair fiber shear modulus differently, with moisture levels notably impacting bleached fibers more than untreated ones.
Hair properties change under electromagnetic fields and are influenced by individual characteristics and the environment.
This study found that, compared to oxidative treatments, reductive perm-waving more severely impacts the intermediate filaments in European human hair, while both treatments alter denaturation kinetics in a first-order manner.
December 2025 in “Cosmetics” In a laboratory study, researchers found that a novel Bioactive Crosslink Repair Complex improved both the protection and repair of chemically damaged hair, enhancing tensile strength, shine, and cuticle alignment when added to bleaching mixtures and leave-in conditioners.
January 2024 in “Molecules (Basel. Online)” In this study, researchers examined juglone's potential as a restoring agent for hair keratin damaged by permanent or bleaching treatments, finding that juglone formed Michael adducts with cysteine residues, leading to a more regular hair surface as observed via IR spectroscopy and SEM analysis.
July 2023 in “European Journal of Medical and Health Research” In this study, bond-protecting additives combined with low-volume oxidants were shown to reduce hair damage in fine hair by up to 62% compared to standard bleach methods, offering a safer bleaching approach for colorists working with this hair type.
This review discusses various techniques for depigmentation in vitiligo patients and suggests that cryotherapy, performed by an experienced professional, may be the most cost-effective and accessible method.
June 2017 in “University of the Arts London Research Online (University of the Arts London)” This study compared the effects of three compounds on structural and sensory benefits for bleached hair when applied with or after bleaching, observing that their application may mitigate bleaching-induced damage.
July 2007 in “Clinical Risk” The claimant sued for negligence after a hair treatment caused harm and distress, and the defendant responded after legal action started.
This review highlights that hair care products can cause adverse effects like irritation dermatitis and allergic contact eczema but does not report new clinical findings.
April 2026 in “International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research” In this case report, a 42-year-old woman with hypothyroidism showed improvement in symptoms like fatigue and hair loss after following an Ayurvedic regimen including Kunjal Kriya, Yoga, and diet changes alongside her regular medication, though further clinical studies are recommended to validate these findings.
This case report chronicles a three-year journey of long COVID in a previously healthy 26-year-old, detailing treatment trials and near-total remission, but provides no new generalizable data.
