December 2025 in “Journal of Society of Cosmetic Chemists of Japan” This study found that massaging hair treatments into hair improved the treatment's effectiveness by reducing hair waviness and enhancing shape cohesion.
April 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study found that cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems significantly improve hair combability by forming a stable low-friction film on hair surfaces, reducing friction and enhancing sensory performance compared to standard systems, as confirmed by both instrumental and sensory evaluations.
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.

January 2005 in “Wear” In this study, the researchers measured and discussed the friction and wear properties of various hair types against synthetic skin and other hair, finding variations based on factors like ethnicity, hair condition, and environmental conditions.
3 citations
,
January 2019 in “Skin research and technology” This study found no significant differences in cleaning agent residue removal from hair follicles among different wiping methods, suggesting the agent remains despite removal attempts.
3 citations
,
January 2021 in “Wear” This study presents a new method for evaluating cosmetic treatments by measuring the resistance of hair to mechanical wear, revealing differences related to hair ethnicity and treatment type.
25 citations
,
November 2012 in “Thermochimica Acta” 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.
42 citations
,
January 2009 in “Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces” This study found that dimethylpabamidopropyl laurdimonium tosylate, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, adsorbs onto human scalp hair with kinetic and isotherm behaviors fitting specific models, changing hair fiber wettability from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.
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.
10 citations
,
February 2018 in “Royal Society Open Science” This study found that a shampoo containing quaternized wheat protein hydrolysate can effectively improve hair recovery by smoothing and compacting damaged hair surfaces, thanks to modifications that enhance protein adherence and disulfide bond formation at pH levels typical in hair care products.
9 citations
,
September 2012 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study introduced hair capacitance mapping as a promising technique for assessing hair surface moisture dynamics, revealing that weathered hair loses moisture more quickly than intact hair.
February 2010 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that NB-002, a novel topical antifungal, showed significant antifungal activity and clinically meaningful nail clearing in patients with mild to moderate distal subungual onychomycosis.
January 2015 in “Springer eBooks” This chapter describes two simple, noninvasive methods — the pull test and modified wash test — which can diagnose and assess the severity of female hair loss, including conditions like telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia.
May 2009 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” In this study, permanent waving treatments, especially those using lotion B and repeated procedures, were found to significantly damage hair protein content and physical properties.
1 citations
,
May 1983 in “Acta dermato-venereologica” This report describes a sudden hair matting incident after shampooing a hairpiece and suggests that weathered hairs might explain this unusual event.
9 citations
,
January 1989 in “Sen'i Gakkaishi” 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.
September 2023 in “Journal of Natural Fibers” This study found that using a microfiber towel to dry human hair better preserves hair keratin integrity and wear resistance compared to blow-drying or using a cotton towel, as indicated by stronger alpha-helix structure in FTIR analysis.
1 citations
,
January 2015 in “Journal of Society of Cosmetic Chemists of Japan” This study suggests that keratin films, which model hair damage sensitivity, remained intact after shampoo and conditioner treatments and showed potential for evaluating hair texture and adsorption.
