research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Damage
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Demethylation of Methionine and Keratin Damage in Human Hair
Copper and iron cause keratin damage in hair by converting methionine to homocysteine.
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 The Human Type II Keratin Gene Cluster on Chromosome 12q13.13: Final Count or Hidden Secrets?
The document concludes that the human keratin gene cluster is complex, with a need for updated naming to reflect over 50 functional genes important for hair and skin biology.
research Proteins as Hair Styling Agents
Proteins like BSA and keratin can effectively style hair and protect it, offering eco-friendly alternatives to chemical products.
research Examination of Androgenetic Alopecia with Serum Biomarkers
Serum biomarkers like insulin-like growth factor-1 and vitamin D may help diagnose androgenetic alopecia.
research Structural Changes of Hair Shaft After Application of Chemical Hair Straighteners: Clinical and Histopathological Study
Chemical hair straightening improves smoothness and shine but may cause side effects, suggesting a need for safer methods.
research Enzymatic Method for Assessing Hair Damage with Reduction and Subsequent Oxidation
