research Local Structure of Human Hair Spatially Resolved by Sub-Micron X-Ray Beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Structure of Intermediate Filament Assembly in Hair Deduced from Hydration Studies Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Hair Cuticle Differences Between Asian And Caucasian Females
Asian hair is stronger and more damage-resistant than Caucasian hair due to a thicker cuticle layer.
research Advances in the Chemical Structure of the Hair Surface, Surface Forces and Interactions
Understanding hair surface properties is key for effective hair care products.
research Investigation of the Changes in the Hair Cuticle Due to Chemical Degradation
Chemical treatments severely damage hair cuticles, especially in previously treated hair.
research Microanatomical Observations of Hair Characteristics of Red Fox (Vulpes Vulpes), Golden Jackal (Canis Aureus), and Gray Wolf (Canis Lupus): A Comparative Study
Red fox, golden jackal, and gray wolf hairs have similar features but differ in length, thickness, and inner structure.
research Variation in Human Hair Ultrastructure Among Three Biogeographic Populations
Different populations have distinct hair structures related to their ancestry.
research Topically Applied Glycyrrhizic Acid Causes Hair Removal in Rats

research Protein Disulfide Isomerase-Mediated Grafting of Cysteine-Containing Peptides onto Over-Bleached Hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Hair can't be reliably repaired once damaged; prevention and proper product use are key to maintaining hair health.
research Heat-Damaged Evaluation of Virgin Hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Charge Density Alterations in Human Hair Fibers: An Investigation Using Electrostatic Force Microscopy
The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.
research Investigation of Human Hair Fibers Using Lateral Force Microscopy
Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.
research Investigation of Aging Effects in Human Hair Using Atomic Force Microscopy
Aging makes hair thinner and rougher, with less clear edges.
research Science and Technology of Hair Fibers
