Hair properties are interconnected; a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach is essential for understanding hair behavior.
research The Art of Repair in Surgical Hair Restoration Part I
The best results in surgical hair restoration come from careful techniques, optimal use of limited hair supply, correct hair direction, saving hair for key areas, understanding scarring effects, and adjusting hair graft density.
research Female Adolescent Hair Disorders
Quick treatment of hair disorders in teenage girls is important because of the emotional effects.
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 Hair Diameter Measurements for Planning Follicular Unit Extraction Surgery: Is There a Correlation Between the Micrometer Caliper and Scanning Electron Microscopy Findings?
The micrometer caliper is a reliable tool for measuring hair diameter for FUE surgery.
research Clinical Signs of Hair Damage
Hair damage shows as fragility, dullness, and discoloration, varies by ethnicity, and is worsened by cosmetic procedures and diseases.
research New Insights Into Human Hair: SAXS, SEM, TEM, and EDX for Alopecia Areata Investigations
Alopecia Areata causes significant structural and compositional changes in hair.
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 Global Adiposity Rather Than Abnormal Regional Fat Distribution Characterizes Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.
research Study on Hair Distribution in Healthy Males for Hair Restoration Design
About 21.3% of young, healthy Chinese men experience hair loss. Hairlines are mostly linear or have a central protrusion. Hair is densest on the top and back of the head, and hair follicles usually have 1 or 2 hairs. This information can help in designing hair restoration procedures.
research A Modular Modeling Approach for Investigating Wool Critical Buckling from Biologically Variable Along-Fiber Microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Developing Optical Biometrics Using Optical Coherence Tomography for Medical Screening and Diagnosis
OCT can effectively screen and diagnose various medical conditions non-invasively.
research Dermal Fibrosis in Male Pattern Hair Loss: A Suggestive Implication of Mast Cells
Mast cells might contribute to hair loss by causing skin thickening.
research On the Correlation Between the Curvature of the Human Eyelash and Its Geometrical Features
Eyelash curvature is linked to the thickness of the cuticle layer at the root.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research A Dietary Supplement Improves Age-Related Dermatological Changes: Observational, Anecdotal, Spontaneous Study
The dietary supplement significantly improved skin, nails, and hair in older adults.
research Avoiding Pitfalls in Planning a Hair Transplant
Proper planning for hair transplants is crucial for natural results, with careful patient selection and strategic graft placement being key factors.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Effect of Scalp Position on Tensile Properties of Single Hair Fibers
Hair strength is similar across different scalp areas, and not affected by age, gender, or hair thickness.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Cutaneous Wound Healing
Blocking testosterone speeds up wound healing in males.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Cutaneous Wound Healing
Blocking testosterone speeds up wound healing in males.
research Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma as a Potential Therapeutic Tool in Androgenetic Alopecia
Platelet-rich plasma may improve hair density in androgenetic alopecia patients.
