This study describes the presence of holes in hair fibers, absent in hair follicles, likely forming from daily care actions and removal of extractable substances.

This study reports that prolonged UV irradiation causes progressive damage to the hair's keratin structure, leading to increased surface roughness, cuticle destruction, and decreased tensile strength in young women’s hair.

This study found that brushing hair increases the ratio of long-to-short segment breaks compared to combing, with factors like bleaching and wet combing contributing to more long segment breaks.

This article reviews the roles and types of surfactants and ingredients in modern shampoos, discussing their contributions to cleansing, conditioning, and cosmetic effects, but reports no new experimental findings.

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.

In this study, researchers used SEM/SDD-EDS to identify waterborne minerals like calcium and aluminum in the scalp hair cuticle of individuals using treated or untreated water for hair washing, finding that prior application of coconut oil or conditioners can prevent calcium uptake.

This study introduced a pH-responsive polymeric wound dressing that enhances healing in chronic wounds by changing shape and drug delivery based on wound pH, achieving a 94.88% healing rate in diabetic mice by day 14.

This study found that the PLEE method increased hair protein extraction efficiency threefold and that bleaching hair reduced the coverage of keratin and associated proteins, leading to poorer hair quality, though it did not affect the overall protein identification.

This study used Raman spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray scattering to observe two main α-helix to β-sheet transitions in hair keratin under varying humidity levels, finding that water impacts when these structural changes occur, involving a disordered state.

This study established a model of heat-damaged hair to assess hair care products, finding that daily hair drying for a month causes notable cuticle lifting, reduced mechanical properties, and increased protein release, and the model simulates even more severe damage.

This review summarizes numerous studies on adhesive hydrogels with natural antibacterial agents for wound dressings, highlighting their potential as effective treatments with strong antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, and mechanical performance, while minimizing reliance on antibiotics.

This study found that hair coloring, waving, and ironing were associated with increased hair abnormalities compared to untreated hair in Iranian women.

This study established a predictive model for water intake in hair sheep, finding significant associations with dry matter and its intake but not with sex classes, suggesting a more accurate and efficient way to predict and manage water use in these animals.

This study observed that lipids in human hair accumulate in specific areas and do not significantly impact water permeability, highlighting the utility of AFMIR for studying complex biomaterials.

This study investigated the penetration of a low-molecular-weight cationic conditioning compound into the hair cortex and suggests it may improve hair's fatigue resistance.

This study suggests that UVA-responsive nanocapsules may provide an effective method for skin antisepsis by releasing ethanol and reducing microorganisms within hair follicles on ex vivo porcine ear skin.

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

This study found that applications of a shampoo and mousse containing plant extracts improved coat quality in dogs with a chronic keratinisation disorder without affecting skin hydration or hair lipids over the study period.

This study found that acetyl zingerone methyl ether (MAZ) in hair dyes and haircare products may reduce oxidative damage, improve hair condition, and enhance the longevity and quality of dyed hair color.

This study reported that a newly formulated clear liquid shampoo with lavender oil may be effective and acceptable for dandruff control and overall hair and scalp hygiene, based on tests with twenty volunteers.

Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.

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.

This study found that instrumental measurement methods effectively verified the efficacy of hair care products in repairing slightly damaged hair, showing consistent results with sensory assessments of gloss and frizz, and offering benefits like accuracy and quantifiability.

This study demonstrates that a bioinspired peptide, PepACS, can efficiently and safely perm hair by interacting with keratin's sulfhydryl group without compromising tensile strength, and it shows potential for hair repair and dyeing applications in the hair care industry.

This review discusses the properties and extraction methods of keratins from natural fibers and highlights their promising applications in fields such as biomedicine, bioengineering, and forensic science, but reports no new experimental results.

Animal experiments in this study demonstrated that a new sandwich-like fiber/sponge dressing design, which enhances wound healing through improved moisture management and faster exudate evaporation, resulted in more significant wound size reduction compared to commercial and control dressings.

This study found that a bio-based repair solution containing hydrolysed wool keratin, serine, and transglutaminase improved the physical and chemical properties of damaged hair, increasing its strength, flexibility, and thermal stability while offering long-lasting protection against chemical damage.

This introduction highlights that a common challenge with managing dandruff, a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis, is compliance with treatment, and notes that selenium disulfide shampoo is beneficial for this condition.

In this cross-sectional study of Saudi Arabian citizens, researchers found that increased frequency of shampooing improved the condition of both hair and scalp, with long and curly hairstyles being more prone to breakage and daily hair loss.

This study used an autoradiographic technique to observe that germicides in surfactants are primarily deposited on the stratum corneum of guinea-pig and human skin.
