July 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that the tensile strength of curly hair is influenced by two main components, with springiness (toe region) contributing significantly, unlike in noncurly hair where it is negligible.
November 2023 in “Cosmetics” This study evaluated the protective effects of a hair conditioner containing rice derivatives on natural Caucasian hair using various analysis methods and found that the conditioner, especially with rice germ oil GX-N, effectively improved hair properties even under stress conditions like irradiation.
January 2010 in “DR-NTU (Nanyang Technological University)” This study found that exposure to chlorine significantly reduced tensile properties in human hair compared to normal, while dyeing only affected some properties but not all.
