research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Chapter 4: Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Straight to the Point: What Do We Know So Far on Hair Straightening?
Hair straightening can damage hair and pose health risks, including exposure to carcinogens and hair loss.
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 Binding Interactions of Keratin-Based Hair Fiber Extract to Gold, Keratin, and BMP-2
Keratin from hair binds well to gold and BMP-2, useful for bone repair.
research The Effects of Environmental Pollutants and Exposures on Hair Follicle Pathophysiology
Environmental pollutants can damage hair health and cause hair loss.
research Managing Hair Loss in Midlife Women
The conclusion is that proper evaluation and treatment of hair loss in midlife women is important, considering the emotional impact and potential for various treatments.
research Healthy Hair: Form and Function
Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
research Understanding Curly Hair Mechanics: Fiber Strength
Curly hair is mechanically different from straight hair and may need new testing methods.
research Crosslinking Structure of Keratin: Number and Type of Crosslinks in Microstructures of Untreated and Potassium Cyanide Treated Human Hair
Potassium cyanide treatment changes hair's disulfide bonds, making it more elastic.
research Copper and Calcium Uptake in Colored Hair
Hair coloring increases copper and calcium uptake, damaging hair and reducing shine.
research Raman Spectroscopy and Electronic Microscopy Structural Studies of Caucasian and Afro Human Hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Human Hair Keratin Responds to Oxidative Stress via Reactive Sulfur and Supersulfides
Human hair strength and health are linked to sulfur compounds that can be reduced by stress but improved with sulfur supplements.
research The Susceptibility of Disulfide Bonds to Modification in Keratin Fibers Undergoing Tensile Stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Chemical Bonds and Hair Behavior: A Review
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair's strength, especially when wet.
research Study on Modification of Rabbit Hair Fibers with L-Cysteine
L-cysteine and ultrasound successfully improved rabbit hair fibers for industrial use.
research Investigation of the Damage on the Outermost Hair Surface Using ToF-SIMS and XPS
Bleaching hair causes significant damage by breaking down proteins and fatty acids.
research Electron Microscope Studies of Hair and Wool
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research The Reduction of Selenium(IV) by Boreal Pseudomonas sp. Strain T5-6-I – Effects on Selenium(IV) Uptake in Brassica oleracea
Pseudomonas sp. T5-6-I bacteria increase selenium uptake in Brassica oleracea plants by 130%.
research Action of Thioglycolic Acid and L-Cysteine on Disulfide Cross-Links in Hair Fibers During Permanent Waving Treatment
Thioglycolic acid and L-cysteine change hair structure differently during perms, affecting hair strength and curling efficiency.
research Nutrition of Women with Hair Loss During Menopause
Eating a balanced diet with specific nutrients is important for menopausal women to manage hair loss.
research Histochemical Observation of the Cell Membrane Complex of Hair
The Cell Membrane Complex in hair has both water-attracting and water-repelling layers.
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 Treatment Pearls From Europe
European dermatologic treatments focus on lifestyle and psychosocial factors, use diverse methods like baths and climate therapy, and emphasize the importance of diet and supplements for skin health.
research Cryogelation of Human Hair Keratins
Human hair keratins can be turned into useful 3D biomedical scaffolds through a freeze-thaw process.
research Methods of Hair Straightening: Temporary and Permanent Techniques
Hair straightening changes hair structure and can cause damage if done wrong, but improvements in the methods are expected to continue.
research Acidic and Basic Hair/Nail (Hard) Keratins: Their Colocalization in Upper Cortical and Cuticle Cells of the Human Hair Follicle and Their Relationship to Soft Keratins
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
