      research The kinetics of moisture sorption by hair

      November 2024 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”
      This research investigated how moisture absorption impacts human hair structure, finding that moisture sorption kinetics reveal insights into chain entanglement and structural changes due to cosmetic treatments, while also quantifying the influence of sample weight and fiber density on the sorption process.
      Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair

      research Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair

      8 citations , July 2012 in “Annals of biomedical engineering”
      This study found that the uptake of molecules by hair is influenced by both hydrophobic and ionic charge interactions, with binding affinity decreasing as pH approaches the solute's dissociation constant.
      Exogenous and Endogenous Lipids of Human Hair

      research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair

      21 citations , March 2017 in “Skin research and technology”
      In this study, extracting internal lipids from Caucasian hair fibers led to decreased water permeability, influenced by the fluidity of lipids.

      research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres

      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.
