18-MEA and cationic surfactants can restore and maintain hair's hydrophobic nature, improving its beauty and feel.
research The Structure of the Cornified Claw Sheath in the Domesticated Cat (Felis Catus): Implications for the Claw-Shedding Mechanism and the Evolution of Cornified Digital End Organs
Cat claws stay sharp by shedding their outer layer through microcracks formed during activities.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice

research PH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
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 Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.
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.
