Hair transparency decoding in Asia: From stylists' perception to in vitro measurement. [PDF]

open access: yesSkin Res Technol, 2022
Abstract Background The concept of hair transparency has been claimed widely in the Japan (and now it is spreading to Asian) hair color market. Despite the general use of this concept, to date, there is no clear and objective description to accurately explain what it is. In this work, we have decoded and gave clarity to the concept of hair transparency

A comparison of dyeing efficacy between hair-oxidation-based and hair-coating-based shampoos for the treatment of gray hair. [PDF]

open access: yesSkin Res Technol, 2023
Abstract Background The process of hair dyeing causes hair damage, and periodic re‐dyeing is required for newly grown hair. To avoid these hassles, hair color shampoos have been developed and are widely used. In this study, we compared the effects of two hair color shampoos with different dyeing principles to analyze the function of hair color shampoos.

Phase Singularities to Polarization Singularities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Optics, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Polarization singularities are superpositions of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states in orthogonal circular polarization basis. The intrinsic OAM of light beams arises due to the helical wavefronts of phase singularities. In phase singularities, circulating phase gradients and, in polarization singularities, circulating ϕ12 Stokes phase gradients are
