Biophysics of Human Hair

Focusing on the biophysics of hair, this book explores its structure and mechanical properties, including nanomechanical characterization and tensile deformation. It also examines tribological characteristics and the distribution of thickness. A significant section addresses hair health, covering human hair and skin, along with care techniques, cleaning, conditioning treatments, and damage processes. As the first comprehensive work on the biophysical properties of hair, it offers valuable insights into both its science and care.
