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 Investigating the Relationship Between the Hair Fiber Proteome and Hair Quality
Hair quality is genetically determined and linked to its composition and strength.
research Development of a Mechanically Stable Human Hair Keratin Film for Cell Culture
A new film made from human hair supports skin cell growth better than collagen.
research Insights on the Mechanical Behavior of Keratin Fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.
research Age, Lifestyle, and Self-Perceptions of Hair: Is There an Association with Hair Diameter and Tensile Properties?
Older age and certain lifestyles are linked to thinner, weaker hair, while how you see your hair relates to its thickness.
research Tensile Properties of Twisted Hair Fibers
Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.
