Protein Carbonylation as a Reliable Read-Out of Urban Pollution Damage/Protection of Hair Fibers
Cosmetics, 2022 (1) Background: Environmental factors, such as airborne pollutants and solar UV, induce oxidative damage to proteins and lipids on hair fibers, leading to decreased hair strength and shine, increased fiber porosity, brittleness, dryness, and stiffness ...

Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach-damaged human hair fibers. [PDF]
Biopolymers, 2020 Hair proteins are significantly affected by environmental pH. This impact tends to increase with prior hair damage. To understand how pH affects bleached hair properties, we utilized a number of techniques allowing for the determination of hair thermal ...

Human pollution exposure correlates with accelerated ultrastructural degradation of hair fibers. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Significance Air pollution via phototoxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a major risk factor for human health. While in vitro observations and in vivo correlations suggest a detrimental effect of PAHs at physiological concentrations, in vivo ...

Systems Approach to Human Hair Fibers: Interdependence Between Physical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Geometric Properties of Natural Healthy Hair. [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2019 Contextual interpretation of hair fiber data is often blind to the effects of the dynamic complexity between different fiber properties. This intrinsic complexity requires systems thinking to decipher hair fiber accurately.

Automated Measurement of Spatially Resolved Hair–Hair Single Fiber Adhesion [PDF]
Langmuir, 2019 The adhesion force between individual human hair fibers in a crosshair geometry was measured by observing their natural bending and adhesive jumps out of contact, using optical video microscopy. The hair fibers' natural elastic responses, calibrated by measuring their natural resonant frequencies, were used to measure the forces.

Effect of Freezing-Thawing on Clayey Soils Reinforced with Human Hair Fibers
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020 The reinforcing of fine-grained soils using natural or synthetic fibers has been successfully applied today. The use of waste human hair fibers among natural fibers is seen as a sustainable solution as a reinforcing material.
