This review discusses new developments in understanding the structure and properties of keratin fiber cell membrane complexes, without reporting new experimental results.

This article reviews the pros and cons of co-washing for hair cleansing and presents no new clinical results; the authors describe potential residue buildup as a drawback.

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 proteomic analysis can distinguish hair samples across different ethnicities and body regions based on keratin protein levels, which may aid forensic hair identification.

Human hair's ability to get wet is complex and can change with treatments, damage, and environment.

This study identified two types of calcium in human scalp hair, with one type highly variable between individuals, potentially impacting the analysis of environmental and medical factors related to hair calcium.

This study found that both everyday physical and environmental stresses, as well as chemical treatments, contributed to hair damage, with cuticle layers being more noticeably affected.

This study found that dermis micrografting improved hair growth and density in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 4, 6, and 12 months, suggesting it could be a novel treatment option.

The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.

This study found that Argan oil conditioner significantly enhanced tensile strength and retained hair color in bleached hair more effectively than Camellia oil.

This article reviews the history, biology, genetics, prevention, conventional treatments, and herbal alternatives for hair loss, but reports no new research findings.

This article discusses objective methods for assessing hair loss and notes that most types of hair loss can regrow without treatment, but effective treatments for pattern or senescent alopecia remain unavailable.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

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 case report describes the first known instance of loose anagen hair syndrome in a Southeast Asian child, a 13-year-old Thai boy with hair thinning and excessive shedding on the frontal scalp.

This source highlights the utility of cationic polymers in haircare products for protecting against hair damage from chemical treatments and grooming, and describes how microfluorometry can measure polymer deposition and penetration on hair fibers.

This study found that TRP-hair essence significantly protected and improved the quality of human hair, particularly against heat stress, by enhancing cuticle health and maintaining hair color.

This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This article discusses the use of atomic force microscopy for examining human hair surfaces in dermatology, cosmetics, and forensic science, but presents no new research findings.

This source highlights that alopecia areata is a complex autoimmune disorder leading to patchy, nonscarring hair loss with variable treatment responses, reflecting unmet clinical needs. Advances in genetic research are improving understanding, yet current treatments often lead to persistent relapses.

In this study, carboxymethylalanyl disulfide keratin was shown to effectively prevent hair damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.

Several companies launched new hair care ingredients in 2011 to improve conditioning, color retention, combability, and heat protection.

In this review paper, the authors explored the composition and role of lipids in human hair, highlighting their importance for hair texture, moisture retention, and tensile strength, while noting that the understanding of hair lipids' functions remains controversial and requires further research.

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.

This study found that high-speed optical coherence tomography may be a promising non-invasive tool for analyzing human hair conditions.

Dr. Shyam B Verma encourages more scientific research on hair disorders and criticizes the unscientific hair care market in India.

This study investigated the tensile response and morphological changes of different ethnic hair types using AFM, showing variations between virgin, chemically damaged, and conditioner-treated Caucasian hair under different conditions.

This review examines hair cosmetics, including shampoos and conditioners, for their formulations and effects, but reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of dermatologist knowledge in treating diverse hair conditions.

In this study, a new shading model for hair was developed that better matches real-life light scattering, thanks to detailed new measurements of hair fiber scattering not predicted by existing models.

In this study, co-grafting human keratinocytes with murine dermal papilla-enriched cells produced hair follicle-like structures, but without regular hair formation, suggesting anomalous folliculogenesis.
