This paper explores the diverse patterns and social significance of Black hair, approaching it as an art form, mathematical pattern, and ethnomathematic entity, and seeks to dispel myths while highlighting its vast possibilities.

This paper presents a case of penile tourniquet syndrome in an 8-year-old boy caused by his mother's hair coil, highlighting its rarity beyond infancy.

This study used proteomic techniques to analyze human hair proteins, revealing keratin heterogeneity and identifying posttranslational modifications, such as cysteine trioxidation and methylation.

This study found that the stability of the coiled-coil structure in human hair keratin is maintained by ion-pairing and hydrophobic interactions, which are disrupted as pH approaches 7.0.

In this study, researchers introduced the Sanusi FUE Score Scale to better predict and grade the difficulty of follicular unit excision hair transplantation by accounting for diverse hair and skin types, with further validation needed.

This study investigated price differences and found that haircare products targeting coily/curly hair are more expensive than those for straight hair types, with the authors suggesting that pricing policies should be more equitable to ensure affordable access for all individuals.

This study hypothesizes that the curling of hair may result from the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle, contributing to the diverse types of curly hair.

This study hypothesizes that curly hair is shaped by the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle within the follicle, potentially modifiable through muscle-relaxing treatments, but further research is needed to confirm this mechanism.

This study found that hair care products designed for coily/curly hair are significantly more expensive than those for straight hair, based on pricing data from Amazon.com. This indicates a need for equitable pricing to ensure access to affordable hair care for all hair types.

This study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with Penile Hair Tourniquet Syndrome caused by a hair coil, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis in circumcised boys to prevent severe complications.

This study developed a multiscale model to understand human hair fiber mechanics and found that the yield stress decreases linearly with temperature, supported by both simulations and experimental stretching of hair fibers.

This review summarizes recent advances in understanding intermediate filament structure and their implications for pathological mutations and human diseases, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study discovered that adipose tissue infiltration at the isthmus level appears significantly more often in frontal fibrosing alopecia cases compared to controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition's pathology.

Human hair keratin has a 40% α-helix structure that changes to a random coil in 8 M urea.

In this case study, a rare scalp arteriovenous fistula developed after hair transplantation in a 29-year-old male was successfully treated using endovascular embolization with platinum coils, resulting in symptom resolution and complete fistula disappearance without complications.

In this study, researchers developed enzymatic methods to isolate hair cuticle cells and remove the hair cuticle layer, finding that the harvested cuticle cells are thermally more stable and contain different structural proteins compared to descaled hair fibers.

This study found that permanent waving treatment induces structural changes in the cortex proteins of white human hair, significantly reducing its tensile strength without altering the S-S band intensity.

This review discusses the history, structure, and biological significance of keratins, including the crystal structure of a keratin helical segment, without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that permanent wave treatment accelerates hair degradation after protease exposure, showing significant morphological differences compared to untreated hair and linked to damage from Alpha-helical region denaturation.

This study utilized the DNP–SANS technique on human hair for the first time and found significant changes in the SANS profile dependent on polarization conditions, providing insights into the structural composition and dynamic properties of keratin and its associated proteins.

In this study, reducing agents like ammonium thioglycolate, L-cysteine, and sodium sulfite in shampoo effectively decreased hair flyaway and frizz without causing damage, as no critical hair damage was observed in structural and tensile strength assessments.

This study found that permanent waving treatment partially disrupts the α-helical structure in human hair microfibrils, primarily during the initial reduction phase, rather than just affecting disulphide bonds.

This study found that shampoo and conditioner do not alter hair's molecular structure, while perming treatments significantly affect keratin and intermediate filament structures due to bond alterations.

This study found that premature desquamation of the inner root sheath is a non-specific histologic feature in scarring alopecia and cannot be used alone to define central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study identified a novel KRT86 mutation associated with autosomal dominant monilethrix, expanding understanding of its genetic basis beyond known motifs.

In this study, a novel homozygous mutation in the STAT5B gene was identified in a 17-year-old boy with growth hormone-refractory growth failure, severe eczema, and autoimmune disease, suggesting a similarity to known STAT5B deficiency phenotypes.

This study found that alopecia areata patients with a CCHCR1 gene variant had higher recurrence rates and structural abnormalities in hair compared to those without the variant.

This case report describes an 8-year-old child with penile tourniquet syndrome due to a constricting thread, which led to partial distal penile amputation and required surgical intervention.
