May 2024 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This review highlights that hair's chemical bonds, particularly disulfide bonds, are not homogeneous, as previously thought, but instead vary in response to different cosmetic treatments, suggesting a need for further exploration of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions.
September 2023 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This meta-analysis found a significant positive association between frontal fibrosing alopecia and both sunscreen and moisturizer use, with the moisturizer association significant only in males.
August 2023 in “Journal of Health and Beauty” This study found that the newly developed hair product K-30 increased both protein content and weight in chemically damaged hair to levels similar to healthy hair, unlike traditional products that only temporarily improve texture.
September 2018 in “PubMed” This review discusses the aging-related changes in hair properties, their impact on styling, and potential interventions, without providing new clinical results.
This review discusses complications of frizzy hair syndrome and emphasizes the importance of precautionary measures, but it reports no new research findings.
January 2005 in “Seibutsu Butsuri/Seibutsu butsuri” Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.
September 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study developed a biobased copolymer called SELP::KP, showing improved hair strength, elasticity, and conditioning properties while being a safer alternative to conventional chemical treatments, based on application to human hair in a laboratory setting.
Lightly perming scalp hair can lead to new hair growth, potentially treating baldness.

January 2011 in “Journal of X-ray science and technology” This study found that perming and bleaching hair result in different distributions of cysteic acid, suggesting distinct damage mechanisms between the two treatments.
37 citations
,
October 2015 in “PeerJ” This study found that shampoo and conditioner do not alter hair's molecular structure, while perming treatments significantly affect keratin and intermediate filament structures due to bond alterations.
13 citations

March 2015 in “Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open” In this case report, eyelash transplantation with leg hair resulted in less frequent maintenance and no need for perming compared to using nape hair donor sources.
4 citations
,
July 2022 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” 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.
2 citations
,
March 2023 in “Journal of Society of Cosmetic Chemists of Japan” This study found that the "Hair Medulla Care" treatment allows various substances to penetrate hair more effectively, suggesting potential applications for enhancing hair coloring, care, and perming processes.
May 2010 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study found that reduced hair samples showed higher protease degradation than permed hair, which increased with repetitive perming, and degradation was influenced by the type of mercaptan used.
3 citations
,
May 2004 in “Journal of neurosurgery” This study found that endoscopy-assisted craniectomies with postoperative molding helmets led to excellent outcomes in infants with sagittal synostosis, with low morbidity and minimal complications.
March 2023 in “Asian journal of beauty & cosmetology” This study found that applying a keratin solution improved tensile strength, reduced absorbance, and increased gloss in damaged hair compared to untreated hair.
November 2017 in “Koubunshi rombunshuu/Kōbunshi ronbunshū” In this study, treatments using a shampoo and conditioner with hematin helped repair damaged hair by depositing a cuticle-like structure, straightening hair as observed through electron microscopy.
12 citations
,
July 2012 in “Journal of Applied Polymer Science” This study found that applying botanical extracts improved the mechanical properties of bleached hair, reducing its permeability and increasing its crystalline content.
This article provides a comprehensive guide on wig making, styling, and maintenance techniques but does not report any new research findings.
January 2002 in “China Surfactant Detergent & Cosmetics” This study compared shampoos and found that shampoo D, containing polyquaternium-10, guar gum, and dimethicone, was most effective in restoring chemically permed hair.
April 2023 in “Han'gug miyong haghoeji/Journal of the Korean society of cosmetology” This study compared the effects of direct heat perms and softening heat perms on hair, analyzing damage and morphological changes to understand their impact on hair fibers and provide foundational data for future research.
In this review of permanent hairstyles like perms, the authors discuss the chemical processes involved and highlight potential risks such as hair and scalp damage, emphasizing the need for careful client assessment and safe application techniques to mitigate these risks.
1 citations
,
September 2024 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study found that thermoporometry measurements effectively assessed hair porosity, showing that bleaching increases overall pore volume by adding smaller pores, while prolonged bleaching leads to fewer but larger pores likely due to pore-merging.
1 citations
,
January 2010 in “Han-guk hyeonmigyeong hakoeji/Applied microscopy” This study found that straight permed hair retains more weight than virgin hair during burning at higher temperatures, with distinct differences in morphological changes observed through thermal analysis and microscopy.
January 2001 in “China Surfactant Detergent & Cosmetics” This study compared the protective effects of two conditioners, Protective factor C and Keratin, on hair damaged by perm treatment using a model of damaged hair.
