This study examined the thermal conductivity of human hair using the Modified Transient Plane Source method, highlighting how frequent thermal, mechanical, and chemical treatments can damage hair by weakening its structure, particularly through changes in keratin that reduce elasticity.

In this study, researchers used the Modified Transient Plane Source method to measure the thermal conductivity of human hair, highlighting that common heat treatments can damage hair structure by altering its protein composition, emphasizing the importance of understanding thermal properties to mitigate such damage.

In this study, researchers found that the concentrations of cetostearyl alcohol, shea butter, and coconut oil significantly affected the in vitro spreadability of heat protectants, suggesting that optimizing these components could improve product coverage and thermal protection on hair.

This study reports that the candle flame technique "velaterapia," popular in Brazil for addressing split ends, can damage hair fibers due to bubble formation at high temperatures, despite thermal protectors providing some cuticle protection.

This study found that pretreatment with KP-Cryst fusion proteins effectively protected Asian and Caucasian virgin hair from thermal damage by maintaining higher water content and preventing structural changes during heat application.

This study found that selected polymeric pretreatments on hair can significantly reduce breakage and protect against thermal damage from hot flat irons by maintaining cuticle integrity and moisture.

This study found that minoxidil may protect against chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and potentially support hair recovery and tumor suppression in mouse models.

In this study, BTP-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles were developed and shown to protect hair from heat-induced damage by enhancing cuticle integrity and thermal resistance in simulated thermal straightening conditions.

This study found that biotinoyl tripeptide-1-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles significantly improved thermal protection in hair, enhancing cuticle integrity and resistance to heat damage, compared to control samples.

This review discusses the effects of visible light on human skin, highlighting its role in pigmentation, thermal damage, and the treatment of several skin conditions, while noting limited sunscreen protection against it; no new clinical results are reported.

This review discusses the impact of various external factors like cosmetics, traction, and radiation on hair health and color, but reports no new findings.

This study found that Pik3r1 Y657* mice, which model human SHORT syndrome, show increased energy expenditure despite insulin resistance, but this is not due to changes in locomotion, thermoregulation, or Ucp1-dependent thermogenesis, suggesting a different metabolic mechanism may protect against lipotoxicity.

This study found that human scalp hair significantly reduces solar radiation intake, with more tightly curled hair offering greater protection against heat gain compared to a naked scalp.

In a laboratory study, researchers found that a novel Bioactive Crosslink Repair Complex improved both the protection and repair of chemically damaged hair, enhancing tensile strength, shine, and cuticle alignment when added to bleaching mixtures and leave-in conditioners.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

This study found that non-thermal plasma treatment increased epidermal thickness and dermal collagen density in mouse skin tissue without causing damage, potentially promoting growth factors and tissue remodeling.

This case report describes a dog's third-degree burn successfully treated with hydrocolloid dressing, achieving effective healing and patient comfort compared to conventional methods.

This study found that excessive heat caused the most significant structural changes in hair from Caucasian and Afro samples, especially when combined with other treatments like bleaching and straightening.

This study found that keratin-based particles were able to recover and enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of virgin and overbleached Asian hair, improving its strength and smoothness by around 40%, and demonstrated safety in human skin keratinocytes.
