This study reports that the newly developed SA-Ca(II) hydrogel has tunable mechanical properties, high biocompatibility, and potential applications in wearable protections and stimuli-responsive electronics.

This abstract introduces TrichoFoam™, a new foaming vehicle for compounding pharmacies, designed to be a gentle, non-irritating option for alopecia treatment, acknowledging that current topical treatments are limited and oral products may cause adverse effects.

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

This study found that minoxidil in Espumil Foam Base remains stable for at least 90 days when stored at room temperature and protected from light.

This study found that cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems significantly reduce friction on hair fibers, improving wet and dry combability by forming a stable film layer on the hair’s surface, as verified by both instrumental and sensory evaluations.

This study found that dimethylpabamidopropyl laurdimonium tosylate, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, adsorbs onto human scalp hair with kinetic and isotherm behaviors fitting specific models, changing hair fiber wettability from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.

This study found that dimethicone with high molecular weight improved hair surface characteristics, while dimethicone copolyol and amodimethicone enhanced manageability by reducing friction or aiding styling on damaged hair.

This study found that hair treated with shampoo containing water-soluble silicone demonstrated smoother sliding and better detangling, compared to shampoo with water-insoluble silicone, due to differences in conditioning film formation.

This study found that cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems significantly improve hair combability by forming a stable low-friction film on hair surfaces, reducing friction and enhancing sensory performance compared to standard systems, as confirmed by both instrumental and sensory evaluations.

This study found that varying the concentration of propylene glycol in rice water shampoo gel affects physical properties such as viscosity and foam height, without impacting organoleptic qualities or pH stability.

In this study, hydrophilic EG7 PTK-UR foams promoted better wound healing and tissue integration in a porcine model compared to more hydrophobic PTK-UR variants and a polyester-based alternative, while matching a collagen-based standard.

In this study, shampoos containing sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate showed superior coacervate formation and lubrication on wet hair, outperforming other amino acid surfactants and suggesting potential for creating low-irritation, high-performance hair products.

This study observed that dermal papilla cell aggregates showed increased viability and gene expression on softer 3D substrates, indicating the importance of substrate stiffness in cellular behavior.

In this study, cell membrane remodeling with a thermoresponsive boronic acid copolymer was shown to rapidly form spheroids from cancer or cardiac cell lines under standard conditions, promising advances in tissue engineering.

Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.

Polisorbate 20 is not suitable for curl creams due to instability.

The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.

This study evaluates the compatibility of six active pharmaceutical ingredients, including finasteride and spironolactone, with TrichoFoam™, a foam vehicle used in personalized treatments for alopecia, though it does not report specific results.

This study found that the PQ-70 shampoo formulation demonstrated the highest Hair Humidity Resistance Factor, indicating superior anti-frizz performance compared to other tested shampoos.

This study found that the shampoo formulation with Polyurethane-14 and AMP-acrylates copolymer improved curl definition and reduced frizz and volume in natural and curly hair tresses compared to the control.

This study found that treating damaged hair with maleic-modified amino silicone oil created a highly hydrophobic surface, reducing water content and improving hair's mechanical properties and thermal stability.

In this study, the relaxed overhand knot method demonstrated its effectiveness in measuring the self-friction coefficient of single hair fibers, revealing that sodium hydroxide treatment significantly increases friction and could aid microsurgical applications.

This study observed that treating human hair with NaOH led to partially removed cuticles, resulting in better fiber cohesion and mechanical properties similar to wool, unlike bleach or formic acid treatments, which weakened the fibers.

This study found that a conditioner treatment using 18-MEA combined with a specific cationic surfactant effectively restored hydrophobicity and reduced friction on damaged hair surfaces.

This study found that combining lecithin reverse wormlike micelles with isopropyl myristate enhanced the skin permeability of a model hydrophilic drug, facilitated by interactions with sebum in hair follicles.

This study found that hair membrane fluidity is low in the cuticle but high in the cortex and medulla, with treatments like ionic surfactants and oleic acid increasing fluidity in hydrated hair; however, dehydration significantly reduces fluidity throughout the hair.

This study found that mouse embryoid bodies adhered quickly and differentiated efficiently into cardiomyocytes on negatively charged poly(sodium p-styrene sulfonate) hydrogels, similar to their behavior on gelatin-coated polystyrene.

This study found that the hydrophilic PTK-UR foam with EG7 repeats significantly improved wound healing in porcine skin wounds compared to other scaffolds, suggesting potential for synthetic biomaterial applications.

This study analyzed hair styling mousses on the Slovenian market, finding that their formulations primarily rely on polymers, with no banned ingredients according to European cosmetics regulations.

This article provides guidelines and indices for a three-point cantilever bending test to measure mechanical properties of hair treated with both conventional and naturally-derived styling polymers, reporting no new experimental results.
