Hair fibers interact through classical forces, which are influenced by treatments and products, important for hair care and other applications.

This study observed that repeated perm treatments decrease disulfide bonds in hair due to their conversion largely into cysteic acid, affecting the waving efficiency depending on the reduction agent used.

This study found that bleached hair showed optimal protein structural integrity and tensile strength at pH 5, with significant changes in cross-linking, water content, and diameter at more alkaline or acidic levels.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

In this study, microarray and proteomic analyses indicated that genes involved in immune response, receptor binding, and growth factor activity might influence wool fibre diameter in sheep.

In this study, a bioengineered construct using a biodegradable polycaprolactone mat cocultured with human keratinocyte and rabbit dermal fibroblast cells demonstrated potential as a tissue-engineered skin substitute, showing good cell adhesion and growth.

This study found that the extent of reducing agents' effects on hair fibers was linked to the electrode potential of the reagents used.

This study found that coconut oil significantly increased the tensile strength of twisted hair fibers due to its ability to penetrate the hair core, in contrast to mineral oil.

This study aimed to develop a dermocosmetic exfoliating formulation using babassu fibers for androgenetic alopecia treatment, but found that although the formulation met sensory standards, it was unstable in sunlight and heat, suggesting a need for optimization before commercialization.

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

In this study, variation in the KRTAP15-1 gene in goats was linked to changes in cashmere fibre diameter, with specific variants showing dominant or recessive effects.

In this study, researchers used a rodent model to uncover key changes in how hair fibers detach, suggesting that the exogen phase should be subdivided based on club fiber status.

In this study, researchers linked hair composition and mechanical properties to perceived hair quality, suggesting that hair quality may be genetically determined.

This study reports the development of an artificial skin membrane incorporating hair follicles, intended as an in vitro model to better estimate drug permeation with less variability than current models used in transdermal drug delivery research.

A new method helps understand hair shine and various products improve hair care.

This study reports that biomass activated carbon fibers derived from metaplexis japonica seed hair effectively adsorb methylene blue dye, demonstrating high capacity and rapid adsorption performance.

This study found that reinforcing epoxy with short human hair fibers and glass micro-spheres improved its wear resistance, suggesting potential applications in products like brake shoes and pads.

This study fabricated a polyamide fiber containing amber particles and characterized its potential for textile applications, noting that the chemical structure of amber remained unchanged after grinding and integration.

Hair testing is a reliable method for detecting workplace drug use when done with proper sample preparation and confirmation.

This study found that adding hair fibers to friction materials increased their friction coefficient stability and impact strength while decreasing wear rates, with 1% hair fiber content notably improving performance.

Cold waving solutions quickly reduce cystine to cysteine in hair.

This study presents a method using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify biotin in plasma and serum, and explores how high biotin intake can interfere with diagnostic immunoassays that utilize biotin-streptavidin technology, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of endocrine disorders.

This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.

This study found that electrospun short fibrous sponges effectively mimic the 3D extracellular matrix, promoting tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and wound healing in diabetic rats better than 2D fiber membranes.

In this study, minoxidil treatment in aged mice increased elastin expression and improved aortic structure and function, suggesting its potential for arterial remodeling in aging.

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

This preliminary study found that poplar seed hair fibers have promising properties for use as environmentally friendly, lightweight insulation, with similar thermal resistance to wool and polyester despite being slightly less effective than down.

This study found that plasma jets can effectively clean and oxidize human hair fibers, with argon/oxygen plasma having the strongest effects, suggesting potential as an alternative to peroxide treatment.

This study found that L-cystine-modified rabbit hair fibers had improved dye adsorption and spinnability, due to changes in secondary structure and surface characteristics.

This study found that triglyceride and energy metabolic pathways are crucial factors influencing wool fiber diameter in fine-wool Alpine Merino sheep, providing insights for enhancing wool quality.
