A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
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 Single Hair Fiber Assessment Techniques to Discriminate Between Mineral Oil and Coconut Oil Effect on Hair Physical Properties
Coconut oil makes hair stronger and more flexible than mineral oil.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research An Ultrastructural Study of Hair Fiber Damage and Restoration Following Treatment with Permanent Hair Dye
Permanent hair dye damages hair but it mostly recovers after 8 weeks; using certain hair care products can help repair it.
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 Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure: Aging and Hair
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research PH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
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 Enhanced Ectodysplasin-A Receptor Signaling Alters Multiple Fiber Characteristics to Produce the East Asian Hair Form
A genetic change in the EDAR gene causes the unique hair traits found in East Asians.
research Internal Structure Changes in Bleached Black Human Hair Resulting from Chemical Treatments: A Raman Spectroscopic Investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research Repair of Damaged Hair Protein Fiber by Jointly Using Transglutaminase and Keratin
Using an enzyme and keratin treatment can significantly repair and strengthen damaged hair.
research Hair Morphogenesis In Vitro: Formation of Hair Structures Suitable for Implantation
Scientists created early-stage hairs from mouse cells that grew into normal, pigmented hair when implanted into other mice.
research Keratin Network Modifications Lead to the Mechanical Stiffening of the Hair Follicle Fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Impact of Acid Straightener's pH Value on Hair Fiber Properties
Lower pH straighteners change hair more but weaken it.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Disulfide bonds affect the melting behavior of hair's crystalline structure, but hair retains some stability even after these bonds are broken.
research Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research In Vitro Methodologies to Evaluate the Effects of Hair Care Products on Hair Fiber
Different tests are used to see how hair care products affect hair, and choosing the right test is important for accurate results.
