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 found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.

This study presents a method for directly measuring the solubility of solid chemicals in the skin's stratum corneum under various humidity conditions, emphasizing its importance for dermal drug delivery and chemical safety assessments.

This study found that while ethnic hair types share a common fibrous keratin structure, variations in keratin-associated proteins and lipids may lead to different macroscopic hair characteristics.

This study found that white wax and its extract significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, outperforming finasteride by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and enhancing cellular proliferation.

This study found that white wax and its extract may promote hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and increasing cell proliferation, with efficacy surpassing finasteride.

This study found that sugar waxing led to slower hair growth and reduced hair thickness, but increased ingrown hair and inflammation compared to hard waxing.

This study found that injected wax did not prevent androgenic alopecia and led to remodeling of the skull's outer cortex over a 30-year follow-up, necessitating removal due to a fibroxanthoma.

This study found that insect wax can significantly promote hair growth in mice in a way that is comparable to minoxidil, likely due to the upregulation of VEGF expression.

Results are not reported in this abstract, which outlines a study comparing how waxing and sugaring hair removal treatments affect the skin and hair condition in the bikini area across different age groups using qualitative case study methods.

Polymethylene wax in hair relaxers makes hair smooth and shiny with less damage.

In this study, a herbal hair wax stick formulated with extracts of Tulsi, Amla, and Bhringraj demonstrated favorable styling, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, suggesting it as a safe, natural alternative to synthetic hair styling products.

In this study, a herbal hair wax stick incorporating extracts of Tulsi, Amla, and Bhringraj was formulated and evaluated, with the F3 formulation showing the best balance of pH, spreadability, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activity, suggesting it as a natural alternative to synthetic hair styling products.

This study found that the mechanical stiffening of the human hair follicle along the first millimeter is linked to changes in the keratin network architecture and composition during keratinization.

This study discovered a new region in the hair cortex where intermediate filaments are both aligned with the hair's axis and orientationally ordered, influenced by the cuticle boundary.

This study found that coconut oil impedes hair hydration more effectively than soybean oil by penetrating deeper, and suggested a new model for intermediate filament assembly in hair.

This study found that while yak belly hair is chemically similar to human hair, its higher porosity and lower mechanical strength limit its usefulness as a substitute in hair dye development.

This study suggests that breast cancer-associated phospholipids may alter the X-ray diffraction pattern of hair, potentially enabling the development of a sensitive and specific screening test for breast cancer.

This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.

Innovative methods are reducing animal testing and improving biomedical research.

This paper discusses the fabrication, exhibition, and treatment history of Robert Gober's beeswax leg sculptures, reporting no new results but detailing the artworks' preservation challenges like discoloration and hair loss.

This study identified 12 new genes associated with the hair follicle and various stages of the hair cycle in mice, which could lead to novel targets for hair growth or depilation therapies.

This article presents a unique case of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a 3-month-old, with a hair causing bony erosion of the toe, and includes a literature review and meta-analysis.

This review discusses the role of the BAFF system in autoimmune diseases and highlights its therapeutic potential, emphasizing the need for disease-specific clinical trials to improve treatment strategies.

This study found that folliculitis after waxing is more common on the proximal extremities, with one-third of cases involving a foreign body reaction resembling pseudofolliculitis.

In this study, a hair wax containing propolis and Eruca sativa seed oil significantly improved hair growth in Wistar rats, increasing both the length and weight of newly grown hairs compared to controls.

This study provides genomic and epigenomic insights into the white wax scale insect, highlighting high methylation levels and differential hormone profiles linked to its sexual dimorphism and developmental differences.

This study evaluated a natural, herbal-based powder formulation aimed at removing unwanted facial hair while promoting skin health, finding that the product was effective and well-suited for use based on physical properties and user feedback.

This systematic review found no existing studies evaluating the effectiveness of waxing and mechanical epilation as methods of preoperative hair removal to reduce surgical site infections, highlighting a potential area for future research.
