research Curly Hair: Measured Differences and Contributions to Breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.
research Abnormal Wool Growth and Alopecia of Artificially Reared Lambs
Lambs fed a liquid diet showed abnormal wool and skin, which improved with more B-vitamins, suggesting a link to B-vitamin deficiency.
research Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair
Hair absorbs molecules differently based on their size, charge, and love for water, and less at higher pH; this can help make better hair products.
research Keratin-Mediated Hair Growth and Its Underlying Biological Mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
research Straight to the Point: What Do We Know So Far on Hair Straightening?
Hair straightening can damage hair and pose health risks, including exposure to carcinogens and hair loss.
research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.
research Staining of Human Skin With RGB Trichrome Unveils a Proteoglycan-Enriched Zone in the Hair Dermal Sheath
A new staining method shows a special area in the hair's skin layer with lots of proteoglycans.
research What Factors Play a Role in Unhealthy Hair?
Environmental, chemical, mechanical, and personal health factors can all damage hair and contribute to hair loss or changes in hair quality.
research Microscopic High-Resolution Digital Volumetric Imaging of Human Hair Fibers
DVI provides detailed 3D imaging of hair and shows how various products protect and enhance hair.
research Lgr5 Marks Cycling, Yet Long-Lived, Hair Follicle Stem Cells
