This study found that a hair care treatment using integral silk proteins and linseed-derived polysaccharides effectively protected and repaired bleached and colored hair swatches, significantly improving their resistance, luster, and reducing structural damage after chemical treatments.

This study showed that chemical and mechanical treatments significantly alter the nanoscale surface properties of hair, affecting its roughness, mechanical stiffness, adhesion, and surface potential.

This study found that bleaching, dyeing, and UVA/Vis radiation caused significant cuticle damage and protein loss in both Caucasian and Afro-ethnic hair, highlighting the aggressive nature of these treatments.

Current hair removal methods improve appearance but need more research for better options.

This review discusses various treatments for hirsutism, including cosmetic techniques, anti-androgens like spironolactone, and new drugs such as finasteride and flutamide, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the effects of pregnancy on melanocytic nevi and reports no new clinical results; it suggests that changing nevi during pregnancy should be evaluated similarly to those in nonpregnant patients.

This study found that hydrolyzed wheat proteins extensively penetrated both untreated and chemically treated hair, primarily occupying areas like the endocuticle and cortex.

This review discusses the lipid composition of human hair across ethnic types, effects of damage on lipid content, and associated changes with diseases, but reports no new findings; further research is needed.

This study found that CMAD wool keratin may protect human hair from damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.

This study found that using a high-viscosity, high-amine-content silicone fluid as a pretreatment can protect hair from bleaching and dyeing damage without affecting these processes.

Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.

This study developed a reliable RP-HPLC-DAD method, finding that amino acid concentrations in bleached hair decrease with higher hydrogen peroxide levels, notably affecting cystine.

Keratin film can effectively mimic human hair for testing hair damage.

This study reported that X-ray microscopy provides more intact images of hair's internal structure compared to transmission electron microscopy, particularly for observing fine details like cuticle coarsening and cortex cracks.

In this study, researchers highlighted that while hair lipids are crucial for hair health and protection, surfactants in shampoos and conditioners can partially remove these lipids, potentially affecting hair structure, though the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood and require further investigation.

This study found that brushing hair increases the ratio of long-to-short segment breaks compared to combing, with factors like bleaching and wet combing contributing to more long segment breaks.

This study highlights that improving medical professionals' knowledge of hair cosmetics can enhance patient adherence to alopecia treatments and reduce health risks from incorrect use of hair products.

This article discusses advancements in proteomic and metabolomic analysis techniques for studying hair damage but provides no new clinical results; the authors express interest in applying metabolomics to develop strategies for reducing hair damage from chemical treatments.

This chapter discusses management strategies for unwanted hair, focusing on the distinction between depilation and epilation, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that keratin fibers like human hair undergo thermal and mechanical transitions that can help assess changes from cosmetic processes such as bleaching and perm-waving.

This study found that hair treatments applied after chlorination, especially bleaching and dyeing, more significantly altered surface properties and weight loss, while perming most strongly affected tensile properties.

This study found that thermoporometry measurements effectively assessed hair porosity, showing that bleaching increases overall pore volume by adding smaller pores, while prolonged bleaching leads to fewer but larger pores likely due to pore-merging.

This review summarizes the biological process of melanogenesis and evaluates natural skin-whitening treatments based on their mechanisms affecting melanin production, aiming to inform on the effects and awareness of skin-bleaching creams.

This study found that UV radiation exposure during a simulated Brazilian summer caused more significant mechanical damage to natural hair than bleaching, although both caused comparable structural alterations, with double bleaching leading to the most severe protein degradation.

In this study, researchers found that a high-cost hair restoration product containing coconut oil and glycerol effectively restored the structural integrity of chemically processed hair, particularly in samples that were significantly damaged by bleaching and color treatments.

In this study, researchers found that hair fibers exposed to bleaching and UV irradiation displayed significantly more damage, including increased adhesion and surface heterogeneity, compared to untreated hair, highlighting a synergistic degradation pathway affecting the hair cuticle's integrity.

This study assessed the effects of chemical treatments on hair fiber integrity and found that conditioners with vegetable oils like jojoba and coconut enhanced hydrophobicity and reduced combing friction except for jojoba, while participants preferred these oil-containing conditioners over the base formulation.

This study found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.

This study evaluated a hair mask containing rice germ oil GX-N and ferulic acid on damaged hair and found that rice germ oil GX-N improved hair characteristics after bleaching, UV, and heat exposure, but adding ferulic acid did not provide extra benefits.

This study found that citric acid treatment can significantly improve the structural integrity and mechanical properties of chemically treated hair, reducing damage by increasing keratin crosslinking density and decreasing crystallized calcium soaps, with varying effectiveness depending on the type of chemical treatment.
