research Scanning electron microscopes/silicon drift detector-energy dispersive spectroscopy: An analytical tool to identify waterborne microminerals pickup in human scalp hair cuticle due to water quality
In this study, researchers used SEM/SDD-EDS to identify waterborne minerals like calcium and aluminum in the scalp hair cuticle of individuals using treated or untreated water for hair washing, finding that prior application of coconut oil or conditioners can prevent calcium uptake.
