research Histochemical Observation of the Cell Membrane Complex of Hair
The Cell Membrane Complex in hair has both water-attracting and water-repelling layers.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research The Impact of Oxidative Stress on Hair
Oxidative stress damages hair and contributes to aging, and managing it can help maintain hair health.
research Structural Investigation on Damaged Hair Keratin Treated with α,β-Unsaturated Michael Acceptors Used as Repairing Agents
Treatments improved hair surface and scale structure but didn't increase certain bonds in the hair cortex.
research Nanomechanical Characterization of Human Hair Using Nanoindentation and SEM
Human hair's strength and flexibility vary by ethnicity, damage, and treatment.
