Adjusting hair dryer settings improves drying efficiency and keeps hair healthy.

This review re-examines hair blowouts as a material science process, where water acts as a plasticizer altering keratin's glass-transition temperature, allowing for temporary hair shaping through a moisture-induced matrix state change under heat and tension.

This study found that the moisture sorption and desorption process can differentiate between cosmetic treatments of hair and provide insights into hair fibre structure changes, with bleaching causing greater symmetry breaking than perming.

This study found that while all hair removal techniques increased axillary erythema and skin dryness, shaving caused less erythema but more dryness than plucking or waxing, without affecting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or other skin properties.

This study found that the moisture content of human hair significantly influences the type of fracture under tensile loading, with low or high humidity levels leading to smooth fractures and intermediate humidity resulting in step fractures.

This study found that lipid extraction increased water diffusion in wool and hair fibers; the effect was more pronounced in hair, indicating lipids are crucial for water permeability.

This review discusses recent advancements in responsive-hydrogel dressings for diabetic wound healing, highlighting their design, responsiveness, and degradation behavior, and evaluating their potential advantages and limitations in clinical applications.

In this study, supplementing adult Bichon Frises with 600 mg/kg Omega-3 PUFAs significantly improved their skin health, hair quality, feeding behavior, and metabolic health, compared to a control diet, over six weeks.

Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.

This study found that moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers from various animals were similar, despite different structural features, with sorbed water being more ordered than liquid water.

This study found that the optimized finasteride-loaded lyophilized tablets using a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system improved bioavailability in human volunteers compared to the marketed finasteride product.

This study found that nano-sized lipid particles improved the skin accumulation and retention of dexamethasone compared to a base cream, suggesting potential benefits for inflammatory skin disease treatment.

This review highlights that obsessive-compulsive disorder and body-focused repetitive behaviors are increasingly encountered in dermatology, often going undetected, and emphasizes the role of dermatologists in early identification and interdisciplinary treatment to address both physical and psychological aspects for improved outcomes.

This study found that oxidative treatment with peracetic acid dissociates some disulfide bonds in human hair fibers while maintaining the crystalline structure, suggesting different mechanisms stabilize different regions of intermediate filaments.

This study explored a keratin, sodium alginate, and carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel modified with tannic acid and found it to have promising wound-healing qualities, including similar elasticity to human skin, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and effective water retention. These attributes suggest potential applications in biomedical engineering.

This study found that human hair fibers significantly improve the shear behavior of dry sand, but under saturated conditions, the reinforcement sustains shear strength similar to unreinforced sand.

This research investigated how moisture absorption impacts human hair structure, finding that moisture sorption kinetics reveal insights into chain entanglement and structural changes due to cosmetic treatments, while also quantifying the influence of sample weight and fiber density on the sorption process.

This study found that bioconjugating 16-methylheptadecanoic acid (16-MHA) to damaged hair can mimic the protective properties of 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA), restoring the hair's structural integrity and moisture homeostasis, even after washing.

In this study, extracting internal lipids from Caucasian hair fibers led to decreased water permeability, influenced by the fluidity of lipids.

This study found that African and Caucasian hair contain the most lipids, and depletion of these lipids leads to less water retention and increased water desorption, with Caucasian hair showing improved breaking tenacity after lipid extraction.

This study found that lower serum melatonin levels were associated with increased skin aging grades among individuals in Ulaanbaatar, suggesting melatonin loss may contribute to earlier skin aging.

This study found that increasing collagen concentration to 2% in permanent wave treatments reduced hair damage but impaired curl formation.

This paper reviews the benefits of using silk proteins as natural ingredients in cosmetics, highlighting their potential for improving skin and hair health due to properties like antimicrobial activity, UV resistance, and enhanced moisture absorption.

In this review paper, the authors explored the composition and role of lipids in human hair, highlighting their importance for hair texture, moisture retention, and tensile strength, while noting that the understanding of hair lipids' functions remains controversial and requires further research.

This study found that transparent shampoo bars containing high concentrations of aloe vera gel, castor oil, and cinnamon oil exhibited antimicrobial activity, reduced hair loss, and caused no skin irritation.

This study found that hair exposed to extreme temperatures, acidic conditions, or excessive coconut oil showed damage, with pH 5 to 7 being optimal for maintaining hair health.

This review discusses the use of cosmetic nanocarriers to improve hair appearance and reports no new experimental results.

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.

This chapter defines skin integrity as a blend of intact structural elements and adaptable functional capacity, highlighting its importance in maintaining skin health across various conditions but reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers formulated a pomade using papaya seed oil and virgin coconut oil at various concentrations and found it to be stable, non-irritating, and preferred by users, with the 7.5% concentration being most favored for providing shiny and moisturized hair.
